Alexander S. Vindman & Tom Nichols

America’s Generals and Admirals are terrified. They are cowed. They seem unlikely to hold the line and live up to their oaths to serve the U.S. Constitution. Trump violated the law (the Hatch Act) conducting a political rally at Fort Bragg, rousing the troops to cheer his slogans but the Generals stay silent. Our democracy is in great danger. This morning I wonder if we crossed a line and there’s no going back. Alexander S. Vindman

The Silence of the Generals

As President Donald Trump crossed a dangerous line at Fort Bragg, the brass failed to speak out in the Army’s defense.
