Retired generals urge Congress not to cut funds for diplomacy BY REBECCA KHEEL - 02/27/17 03:30 PM EST 20 1,11 1.3K © Getty Images More than 120 retired generals and admirals are calling on Congress not to slash funding for diplomacy and foreign aid after the Trump administration said its budget proposal would do just that. “As you and your colleagues address the federal budget for Fiscal Year 2018, we write as retired three and four star flag and general officers from all branches of the armed services to share our strong conviction that elevating and strengthening diplomacy and development alongside defense are critical to keeping America safe,” they wrote in a letter to congressional leaders Monday. “We know from our service in uniform that many of the crises our nation faces do not have military solutions alone — from confronting violent extremist groups like ISIS [the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria] in the Middle East and North Africa to preventing pandemics like Ebola and stabilizing weak and fragile states that can lead to greater instability.” The letter was addressed to House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.), House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi
