London: Twelve former senior military officers insisted Britain should stay in the European Union today, saying the country was "stronger" as a member of the 28-nation bloc in a "dangerous world".
Writing ahead of a membership referendum on June 23, the retired military chiefs said the EU helped protect the country against threats from ISIS terrorists and Russia.
The signatories of the letter to the Daily Telegraph newspaper include four former professional heads of the overall armed forces as well as two former heads of the army and two of the navy.
"Will Britain be safer inside the EU or outside it? When we look at the world today, there seems to us only one answer," the letter said. "Within the EU, we are stronger."

Folks, if you're reading this, you know what needs to happen.

This is surreal. They’re an island, for heaven’s sake! The smartest thing they could do is use their military to turn back the invasion from their shores. and dismantle the tunnel.
The EU has convinced many of its member nations that they do not need armies at all. Because, supposedly, being a member of a bloc with other nations that also do not have armies will protect them in ways that armies do not.
If Britain leaves the EU, it will have to have an army again, and this will mean it can defend its own interests in the future, even if Europe is conquered.
It’s Great Britain’s commitment to alternate energy. Somewhere, Lord Nelson and the Duke of Wellington are spinning in their graves fast enough to power a generator.
Britain can ally with the other European Nations for war if necessary. They don’t have to surrender to the dumb as a box of rocks and suicidal EU leadership.
