Open Letter from Senior Military Leaders

The 2020 election affords the American people an urgently needed opportunity to affirm their

devotion to the Constitution of the United States and to the American way of life. As senior

leaders of America’s military, we took an oath to defend the United States from all enemies,

foreign and domestic. At present, our country is now confronted with enemies here and

abroad, as well as a once in a century pandemic. As retired military officers, we believe that

Donald J. Trump has been tested as few other presidents have and is the proven leader to

confront these dangers.

It can be argued that this is the most important election since our country was founded. With

the Democratic Party welcoming to socialists and Marxists, our historic way of life is at stake.

During the Obama/Biden administration, America’s armed forces were subjected to a series of

ill-considered and debilitating budget cuts. The Democrats have once again pledged to cut

defense spending, undermining our military strength.

The Democrats’ opposition to border security, their pledge to return to the disastrous Iran

nuclear deal, their antagonism towards the police and planned cuts to military spending will

leave the United States more vulnerable to foreign enemies.

President Trump’s resolute stands have deterred our enemies from aggression against us and

our allies. The proposed defense cuts by the Democrats will, in our professional judgment,

create a potentially perilous situation for the United States during a time of great external and

internal threats to our Nation.

For these reasons, we support Donald Trump’s re-election. We believe that President Donald

Trump is committed to a strong America. As president, he will continue to secure our borders,

defeat our adversaries, and restore law and order domestically.

We urge our fellow Americans to join us in supporting the re-election of Donald Trump for

President.
