Retired generals and admirals urge Congress to reject Iran nuclear deal
Washington Post ^ | August 26 , 2015 | Carol Morello

The letter is the latest in a blizzard of missives petitioning Congress either to support or oppose the agreement with Iran, which would lift sanctions if Iran pared back its nuclear program. Letters have come from ad hoc groupings of rabbis, nuclear scientists, arms-control and nonproliferation experts — and now, retired senior military officers, many of whom have worked in the White House during various administrations dating to the 1980s.

These are the “crazies” Obama talks about. They are probably the conservatives ValJar removed from the military.

I served with several of them myself. Those that I knew are all salt of the earth, mainstay thinkers (and I’d gladly serve again with them).

Glad to see them speaking up.

so if these generals are speaking out against the treaty, then why should anyone support it?

i don’t buy the “blizzard” notion. If the other letter is noteworthy of itself, then this one is too.

Approximately 23 minutes into the video, the purging of military patriots. Very interesting.
