Among the notable signers of the letter are Major General Patrick H. Brady, Major General James E. Livingston, and Vice Admiral Howard B. Thorsen. These leaders present a stark choice for voters: recommit to America’s foundational values or continue down a path they describe as leading toward “the deadly abyss of socialism and authoritarian cultural Marxism.”
The letter from these military leaders also brings attention to the growing threats to national security, highlighting the release of large numbers of migrants with violent histories and the presence of foreign agents operating within the United States. Their warnings align with those of various think tanks, including the bipartisan Commission on the National Defense Strategy. The officers write, “[U]nvetted illegals from 160 countries… plus thousands of criminals and terrorists… place America at great risk,” adding that future terrorist attacks on U.S. soil are “a near certainty.”
This sense of urgency is echoed by recent analyses from the Council on Foreign Relations and others, who have underscored the need to prioritize national defense spending amid economic challenges. With the national debt ballooning to $35 trillion, the officers express concern that the government’s ability to fund critical military initiatives is in jeopardy, a point echoed by the Council, which noted that “interest on the debt slicing more and more into the funds available for national spending priorities.”
As Trump seeks a third bid for the presidency, he is leaning heavily into his connections within the military community, showcasing his leadership during his previous term. The letter’s release follows efforts by Trump’s campaign to distinguish his vision from that of Vice President Kamala Harris, whose campaign last week announced a slate of military endorsements for her ticket. The retired officers supporting Trump see him as the only leader capable of addressing the country’s growing security threats and economic challenges.

Additionally, Trump and his running mate J.D. Vance have taken the offensive against Democratic opponents, including Minnesota Governor Tim Walz. The former president’s campaign has questioned Walz’s military record, with accusations of “stolen valor” stemming from his decision to leave a battalion during the Iraq War in favor of pursuing a congressional seat. Trump and his allies are making it clear that their campaign will focus not only on policy but also on holding their opponents accountable for past actions.
With the endorsement of over 200 retired military leaders, Donald Trump’s 2024 presidential bid gains further momentum. Their message is clear: the future of America depends on electing a leader who will restore the nation’s strength, secure its borders, and prioritize national security. As the 2024 election draws closer, it is evident that Trump’s military backing will play a crucial role in shaping the narrative of the campaign, emphasizing the importance of strong leadership in uncertain times.
