JOHN, we won’t be able to take on every single horrendous thing that comes out of the Trump administration.

We’re going to need to be focused for these next four years, and we’re going to need to drill in on righteous fights when we can have an impact.

And, frankly, when we do pick those righteous fights… we’re going to have a tough time winning them. We’re dealing with a man who made his intentions clear: A dictator on day one.

But none of this — not a single piece of it — means that we won’t fight back. VoteVets will be on the frontline, same as we always have been. There is too much at stake to check out and give up. Our National Security depends on people of resolve and dedication speaking out, spreading the word, and working to stem the worst of the effects of Trump as he rolls out Project 2025.

When we can win, we will do everything we can to make it happen. When we can’t, we will extract a cost. But at every opportunity, we’re going to need this team backing us up in the months and years ahead.

And today, one of the first fights is taking shape.

Reporting indicates that one of the core Military goals of Project 2025 — the purge of “disloyal” senior officers and their replacement by loyalists who swear an oath to Trump alone — is coming together.

Everyone vows to support and defend the Constitution when you join the Military. Most people know this. But you also vow not to follow any illegal order. And when you continue in your career, your promotions are determined by fellow officers — and ultimately are approved by the Senate when you reach the senior ranks of Generals or Admirals.

Trump aims to set up what are effectively “Purity Boards” that exist outside of the current promotion structure, composed of true believers. These boards will review current senior flag officers and fast track their removal if they are deemed insufficiently loyal. Once they’re gone, we can expect that Trump will elevate officers who will answer every order he gives without question — legal or otherwise.

It is outright, clear politicization of the Military over professionalism and competence, and it puts the entire Constitutional order on the chipping block. Our Military is the most powerful and capable force in the history of the world, and Trump would destroy it. History is littered with defeated Militaries who sacrificed their warfighting capability on the altar of politics.

If Trump succeeds our adversaries will take note and we will all be less safe.

JOHN, we want to make this absolutely clear: We might not be able to prevent Trump from doing incalculable damage to our Military by enacting this plan. But you can be damn sure we’re going to try.

Please. We need you to add your name and speak out against Trump’s “Purity Boards,” and this blatant attempt to purge and politicize the Military. Our best option today is to come together and speak out against this. Make noise. We have to make it politically untenable.
