120 Flag Officers: It is almost too late.

 If you haven't heard yet, and I doubt if you watch the MSM that you have, 120 Retired US Flag Officers have signed a letter warning of conflict between Marxism and Constitutional Freedom according to the Epoch Times. For those who are not familiar, the term "flag officer" refers to both Admirals and Generals. Particularly in the Navy, an Admiral has a flag flying on any ship that he may be on to show the other ships' Captains where the command and control of the task force is located. You should read that article in preparation for J. B. Shurk's article at the American Thinker entitled Are Retired French and American Generals Standing Up to Tyranny?

According to Shurk:

Now we have a letter in the United States from 124 retired generals and admirals warning Americans in a strikingly similar tone: "Our nation is in deep peril. We are in a fight for our survival as a Constitutional Republic like no other time since our founding in 1776. The conflict is between supporters of Socialism and Marxism vs. supporters of Constitutional freedom and liberty."

The flag officers take aim at the Democrats' "tyrannical government," their "full-blown assault on our Constitutional rights in a dictatorial manner," and their "population control actions," including "censorship of written and verbal expression." After enumerating what can only be called "a long train of abuses," including the government's intentional creation of a crisis at the southern border and intentional destruction of America's newly won energy independence, the administration's decision to give aid and comfort to Iran's regime of terror, and the Democrats' use of the military as "pawns" to intimidate conservatives while coddling Antifa and Black Lives Matter insurrectionists, the retired U.S. generals and admirals warn Americans as bluntly as the French generals warned France: "The survival of our Nation and its cherished freedoms, liberty, and historic values are at stake."

While the American letter ends with an exhortation for citizens to get involved in local, state, and national politics in order to "Save America" and "hold those currently in office accountable," it is clearly asking Americans to do more than simply vote responsibly. Only four words are underlined in the whole text: "all," as in "all Americans," is underlined once, and "act" is underlined three separate times. This is not a run-of-the-mill letter reminding Americans about the importance of elections; this is a modern version of Thomas Paine's Common Sense urging Americans to action.

Shurk is issuing a wake up call to the conservatives that we are at the 11th hour. Conservatives need to get involved. It is almost too late.
