These core values provide the foundation for who we are and how we act in the service of our Nation. Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, and Marines live by sets of similar core values and norms that help ensure we are able to serve together without hesitation, wherever and whenever called. We served without political bias and continue to uphold that principle today. We collectively served for hundreds of years in all branches of the Armed Forces. We also believe that compliance that leads us to silence in this instance would make us complicit with actions inconsistent with who we are and what we stand for as military veterans. We knowingly break the culture of public silence expected of retired Generals and Admirals to urge you to exert national and global leadership to stem and reverse the rapidly receding tides of American moral authority.įor years, the most senior Generals and Admirals have told military veterans that comments about current policy should be left to others. We write today to call on you to embrace the values of the men and women who serve you in our armed forces.
