MILITARY CRISIS: 38 Senior Commanders break silence on Trump’s authority. – story-veterans.com

The second incident happened in January and involved a delay to a NATO training exercise. The commanders claim the delay followed criticism of defense spending by a senior officer involved in the program. While official explanations cited logistical adjustments, the letter suggests the decision may have been influenced by internal disagreements over policy.

The third and most serious allegation concerns a February 9 directive delaying the delivery of emergency defensive military equipment to a U.S. base. According to the letter, the equipment was reportedly withheld until certain generals agreed to appear at a White House event highlighting the administration’s military policies. The commanders argue that linking operational resources to political appearances represents a dangerous precedent.
