Donald Trump Earns Backing of Nearly 90 Military Figures

(NEWSER) – National security is the theme of Election 2016 this week, with an NBC-MSNBC forum on that topic Wednesday night and lots of apparent new support on that front for Donald Trump. The New York Times reports that 88 retired military figures—described by retired Army Lt. Gen. Michael T. Flynn as a group of "national security professionals"—have placed their John Hancocks on an open letter set to be released Tuesday and endorsing the GOP nominee. "The 2016 election affords the American people an urgently needed opportunity to make a long-overdue course correction in our national security posture and policy," which can only be done by someone who hasn't been complicit in the "hollowing out of our military," notes the letter, which was coordinated by Holocaust survivor and Army veteran Maj. Gen. Sidney Shachnow and the Navy's Rear Adm. Charles Williams.
 

OPEN LETTER FROM MILITARY LEADERS

 The 2016 election affords the American people an urgently needed opportunity to make a long-overdue course correction in our national security posture and policy. As retired senior leaders of America’s military, we believe that such a change can only be made by someone who has not been deeply involved with, and substantially responsible for, the hollowing out of our military and the burgeoning threats facing our country around the world. For this reason, we support Donald Trump’s candidacy to be our next Commander-in-Chief.

 For the past eight years, America’s armed forces have been subjected to a series of ill- considered and debilitating budget cuts, policy choices and combat operations that have left the superb men and women in uniform less capable of performing their vital missions in the future than we require them to be.

 Simultaneously, enemies of this country have been emboldened, sensing weakness and irresolution in Washington and opportunities for aggression at our expense and that of other freedom-loving nations.

 In our professional judgment, the combined effect is potentially extremely perilous. That is especially the case if our government persists in the practices that have brought us to this present pass.

 For this reason, we support Donald Trump and his commitment to rebuild our military, to secure our borders, to defeat our Islamic supremacist adversaries and restore law and order domestically. We urge our fellow Americans to do the same.

Is there a maturity test that must be passed for membership into AMAC.....or is being 50 and above the only requirement?  :shrug:

GO RV, then BV

I'd say it's more of a personal self-qualifying natural selection kind of choice. Lots of mature people aren't retired! :shrug:  AMAC or AARP... maturity helps with the decision making!  :twothumbs:
