Military Officers Seek Accountability

(Source:  John Leake Substack)

Military Accountability” signed by several ranking military officers. Though I’m far from sure about it, I suspect that such an open letter to the American people, authored by military officers expressing their grievances about the conduct of senior commanders, may be unprecedented in U.S. history. Even if it’s not unprecedented, it’s certainly extraordinary. The opening paragraphs strike me as bold, honest, and patriotic:

In the course of human events it sometimes becomes necessary to admonish the lawless, encourage the fainthearted, and strengthen the weak. We have reached just such a time in our history. The affairs of our nation are now steeped in avaricious corruption and our once stalwart institutions, including the Dept of Defense, are failing to fulfill the moral obligations upon which they were founded. Standing upon our natural and constitutional rights, we hereby apprise the American people that we have exhausted all internal efforts to rectify recent criminal activity within the Armed Forces.
