231 current and former military members signed an open letter vowing to hold accountable those who implemented the COVID-19 vaccine mandate.

More than 200 active service members and veterans have signed an open letter seeking accountability over the alleged harm caused by the Department of Defenseโ€™s (DOD) implementation of the now-rescinded COVID-19 vaccine mandate.

The open letter, published on Jan. 1, is directed to the American people, but names specific senior military leaders who the signers claim enabled lawlessness and betrayed the Constitution.

Some of the leaders specifically named in the letter include former and current joint chiefs of staff, service academy commandants, service inspectors general, and service surgeon generals.The signatories state, โ€œIn the coming years, thousands within our network will run for Congress and seek appointments to executive branch offices, while those of us still serving on active duty will continue to put fulfilling our oaths ahead of striving for rank or position.

โ€œFor those who achieve the lawful authority to do so, we pledge to recall from retirement the military leaders who broke the law and will convene courts-martial for the crimes they committed.โ€

A number of the signatories are veterans who are now running for Congress and state-level political offices. These veterans also pledged to introduce legislation to seek accountability by reducing the alleged perpetratorsโ€™ retirement income to zero.

Many of the 231 signers of the letter are still on active duty. Several said they are taking on significant personal risk to stand up for what they believe in and to defend their unalienable rights that they feel have been trampled.

The Epoch Times spoke to Robert A. Green, Jr., an active duty Navy Commander and author of โ€œDefending the Constitution Behind Enemy Lines.โ€ As the author of the open letter, he employed the framework and phrasing of Thomas Jeffersonโ€™s words in the Declaration of Independence to address what he described as the current crisis of trust in the countryโ€™s military.

He and the other signatories hope to โ€œrebuild trust through accountabilityโ€ and signed the open letter as a way to emulate the founding fathers when they mutually pledged to each other their lives, fortunes, and sacred honor in the Declaration of Independence.
