“Vice President Kamala Harris is the best—and only—presidential candidate in this race who is fit to serve as our commander-in-chief,” the group wrote in a National Security Leaders for America letter, first obtained by Axios.

These clowns think it was Trump’s fault that permission was withheld from the guys who wanted to eliminate the known terrorist before the Abbey Gate attack?

With all those trillions of Pentagon dollars gone missing, don’t you think that some of those end up in the crypto accounts of generals like these to get them to make statements like this to keep the ball rolling?

Then by extension, you could conclude that the balance of the total number of retired Generals/Admirals will be Supporting President Trump.

It’s very convenient when your enemy exposes itself.

"Retired generals defend Harris, blame Trump on Afghanistan withdrawal"

I saves time when the other parties responsible for the debacle self-identify.
