Ten retired U.S. military generals and admirals are backing Vice President Harris and warning against picking former President Trump in the upcoming election, according to a new letter.
In the National Security Leaders for America letter, first reported by Axios, the former officers write that Harris is the only presidential candidate in the race who is fit to serve as commander in chief, while painting Trump as “a danger to our national security and our democracy.”
Harris “has demonstrated her ability to take on the most difficult national security challenges in the Situation Room and on the international stage, from rallying our allies against Russia’s brutal invasion of Ukraine to standing shoulder to shoulder with our allies in the Indo-Pacific against China’s provocative actions, to advancing U.S. leadership on space and artificial intelligence,” they write.
They add that Harris is a staunch supporter of service members, veterans and their families, while Trump “continually disrespects those who serve in uniform, including wounded warriors, prisoners of war, and those who have made the ultimate sacrifice.”
