The letter was organized by Major General Sidney Shachnowa, a 40-year Army veteran and Holocaust survivor, and Rear Admiral Charles Williams. The letter was released ahead of Trump’s campaign event in Virginia Beach, Virginia, where he is anticipated to deliver a speech on veterans affairs.

The only name I recognized was Adm. Flatley, who was a CAG while I was in back in the Seventies, but...it is kind of irrelevant to me...:)

If they had enough guts to put their name on a letter, that says enough to me.

Keep going president Trump.
When HRC is down 10 points in every poll, then please pile on, and continue down to the utter destruction of this demon spawn.

Democrats need to be humiliated out of existence!

IIRC, Adm. Flatley was the son of Adm. Flatley of WWII fame, and was also the guy who landed and took off in a C-130 aboard the USS Forrestal!

So he has guts!

What’s also important is which names are NOT on this list.

It is most likely those on the list are seasoned, competent warriors. By being on the list they have demonstrated they have an acceptable political viewpoint.

And, to further satisfy your standards, I imagine there are even a few that could, or even still can pop 500 pushups. {:^)

That is astonishing!
I sat in the pilot seat parked on the ground of a C130 and can’t even imagine what guts that would take.
