On September 22, 2024, an organization named National Security Leaders for America (NSL4A) published a letter, signed by 741 individuals (including 237 retired generals and admirals), pledging support for presidential candidate Kamala Harris.  Here is one of its statements: “This election is a choice between serious leadership and vengeful impulsiveness. It is a choice between democracy and authoritarianism. Vice President Harris defends America’s democratic ideals, while former President Donald Trump endangers them.”  Yet, the letter provides no specific evidence to support the pejorative claims.
