Purity Boards to purge the United States Armed Forces.

I never thought I’d see the day.

But now, with Trump set to retake office, that is the reality we face. It is a disgrace.

Trump aims to destroy the apolitical nature of the Military, purge our most seasoned and effective officers, and replace them with loyalists who will follow his every command — whether they are Constitutionally legal or not. And remember - the Supreme Court of our country granted him immunity for actions he may take as President. Something not granted to our military. Also useful to recall Stalin’s purge of the Soviet Army early during WWII. The Russian Army never recovered as the effects are still playing out in their invasion of Ukraine.

I served for over 33 years in the United States Army on Active Duty and retired as a Major General. I deployed around the world in defense of our nation. I upheld my oath to support and defend the Constitution.

You can be sure that if I still served, Trump’s Purity Board would slate me for relief, to be replaced by someone who demonstrates fealty to Trump above all else.

I will not sit idly by as Trump readies a purge of good, decent, honorable leaders from the Military. We may not be able to stop him, but we will not be silent.

Join me, join VoteVets, and join the thousands of others who have already added their voice to speak out against Trump’s Purity Boards and his purge of the United States Military. Add your name here, and then tell everyone you know that Trump is deadset on destroying our Military and making each of us less safe.
