More than 700 high-ranking national security officials endorse Harris

[jerrymahoney]

09/22/24 6:00 AM ET  More than 700 high-ranking national security officials have endorsed Democratic candidate Vice President Harris in her run for the White House, with some leaders expressing concerns about former President Trump’s “scary authoritarian streak.”

 

“We do not agree on everything, but we all adhere to two fundamental principles,” the letter reads. “First, we believe America’s national security requires a serious and capable Commander-in-Chief. Second, we believe American democracy is invaluable.”

 

We believe, as President Ronald Reagan said, that “America is a shining city on a hill.” Yet in this election, one of President Reagan’s more ominous warnings is equally relevant. 
“Freedom,” he said, “is never more than one generation away from extinction.”

Impressive list of National Security officials.

 

I can imagine our Trumper friends looking at this and thinking "Trump is smarter than all of them combined".

To wit

Steven Cheung, a spokesperson for Trump, said the signatories were “the same people who got our country into endless foreign wars and profited off of them while the American people suffered.”

I looked for one name.

 

Found it. Vindeman. The Ukrainian fixer for the Bidens. 

 

I love the way the Harris campaign is just flailing.

 

I wonder how the dudes in the 82nd Airborne are going to vote.

Along the lines of "turnabout is fair play", it seems like the new administration will have 700 new names for the terror watchlist.

 

See how they like them apples.

These days how can anyone be so obliveous/ in denial?? All these folks on this list make policies that benefits the military industrial complex . In exchange for "campaign contributions" for the elected and other rewards for appointees. Have you been off grid living in Madagascar for the last 30 years. Good grief! Unbelievable
