Veterans Stand Against Disinformation — And For Our Afghan Allies

A former State Department official is using a national platform to smear the bipartisan, veteran-led effort to keep America’s promise to our Afghan allies. He’s not just spreading falsehoods—he’s auditioning for a senior political appointment by undermining the very values we fought to defend. And he’s trying to send a message that Enduring Welcome should be shuttered.

We will not stand idly by.

This open letter is our response. Veterans from across the country and across the political spectrum are standing together to say:

• We are proud of the work to evacuate and resettle Afghan allies.

• We reject fear-mongering and misinformation.

• We will defend the truth—and the people who trusted us with their lives.

This moment isn’t about politics. It’s about honor, duty, and keeping our word.

Sign the letter to stand with those who stood with us—and push back against the voices trying to turn our service into a political pawn
