More than 120 retired flag officers are calling on Americans to rally and reject the nation’s excessive embrace of a radical leftist agenda, particularly the “antiracism” efforts the left weaponizes to suppress dissent.
“Our nation is in deep peril. We are in a fight for our survival as a Constitutional Republic like no other time since our founding in 1776,” wrote the prominent group of 124 retired generals and admirals. “The conflict is between supporters of Socialism and Marxism vs. supporters of Constitutional freedom and liberty.”
The signatories, which include President Ronald Reagan’s former National Security Adviser John Poindexter, President George W. Bush’s former Deputy Undersecretary of Defense William Gerald Boykin, and retired Army Brigadier General Donald Bolduc, who is now running for Senate in New Hampshire, rail against a litany of left-wing pursuits showcased in the first 100 days of the new administration led by President Joe Biden, who has redefined what it means to run a far-left presidency.
The retired flag officers blasted the Democrats’ assault on election integrity, pursuit of open borders, rampant Silicon Valley censorship, re-engagement with the Iran nuclear deal, dismissal of energy independence highlighted through the elimination of the Keystone Pipeline, weaponization of the military to gaslight the public of right-wing threats, excuses for left-wing anarchists in city streets, and the recent confusion over nuclear code procedures at the White House.
“Under a Democrat Congress and the Current Administration, our Country has taken a hard left turn toward Socialism and a Marxist form of tyrannical government,” the officers wrote.
Biden has aggressively pursued this agenda in large part through the power of the pen, with no clear legislative mandate to enact a hard-left agenda given a November victory of less than 43,000 votes across three tipping-point states, an evenly divided Senate, and narrow six-seat majority in the lower chamber after unexpected Democrat losses in the House.
“The Current Administration has launched a full-blown assault on our Constitutional rights in a dictatorial manner, bypassing the Congress, with more than 50 Executive Orders quickly signed, many reversing the previous Administration’s effective policies and regulations,” write the retired officers, noting Biden has the most orders signed since President Franklin D. Roosevelt. “Moreover, population control actions such as excessive lockdowns, school and business closures, and most alarming, censorship of written and verbal expression are all direct assaults on our fundamental rights.”
The group is calling on Americans to throw out far-left politicians in favor of candidates at the federal, state, and local levels who place value in fiscal responsibility and individual rights over socialist collectivism as conditions present prime and necessary circumstances for the revival of a new 21st-century Tea Party movement.
“The survival of our Nation and its cherished freedoms, liberty, and historic values are at stake,” they wrote.
The military has no arrest authority. The US citizenry let the military down by voting for Barkey........TWICE.
God bless the French guys and these guys! They need our physical support now.
They really made it hard to extract the names of the signatories.

And since all the officers qualified to sit on their courts martial will be Obama appointees, they will be doomed.
If Trump had had the time, he should have purged the senior officer corps.
In a sane world, every American would be shouting this from the shores, the mountains, and the fruited plains!
In the insane world of the decadence of Western Civilisation, many mouths are silent!
Evil, decadence, and depravity have America in a death grip!
Will the American People save America from this Evil and Those Responsible, save their priceless heritage and assure it for their children? It remains to be seen.
The men who died on the beaches of Normandy and Guadalcanal, who liberated the Nazi death camps, who gave their lives to save America for the present generation charge the American People from the grave to save the USA as they themselves did!
This is your charge, Americans! Are you worthy of it?
New definition of diversity: 100% leftwing...
These are pretty much establishment guys. And it does remind us of the actions in France.
Pillsbury Doughboy Vindman - committing treason in a congressional impeachment hearing orchestrated by the CIA. Photo is a perfect illustration of the corruption and loss of the United States of America, now a country occupied by illegitimate pretenders and communist totalitarians hiding behind concertina wire-topped military guarded iron curtain in DC. Don’t worry Mr. Vindman you and your brother will get what you deserve. As will all of the communist usurpers.
A Strongly
Worded Letter.

Could they even say they like the policies of President Trump? They disgust me also. Maybe the propaganda media would not put them on television, but I was not reading the columns that they were writing in conservative alternative media either.
Its going to be difficult to stop the radicals. They have control of the Justice,Legislative and Executive branches of the the US Gov’t plus the News media. All of the branches of the Gov’t are bringing millions of liberal voters into the country to overwhelm the electoral system and the Conservative s are sitting on their laurels watching it happen. The final element will be to eliminate the Electoral College. It appears it will take an armed conflict to stop what is obvious.
Lemme guess - not a single Air Force JAG GO is on the list. I am profoundly disappointed - not surprised, just disappointed - that my Corps’ leadership has been largely made up of left-leading politicians for the last 20-odd years.

I noticed Swiftboat Rear Admiral John F’ing Kerry is not on the list.
no kidding
“I noticed Swiftboat Rear Admiral John F’ing Kerry is not on the list.”
I always think of him as Ensign Band-aid, since the wound for which he scammed one of his bogus purple hearts was treated with a band-aid.
During the Cold War I was drenched in sea water by a low-flying MIG. Had to change my uniform and everything. Shouldn’t I have gotten a purple heart, too?
sadly, now that it won’t do any good
the FBI starts investigating them in 3 2 1.....
