We were surprised by reading Marine Le Pen’s open letter in Current values, letter written following the article: ‘For a return of the honour of our rulers’: 20 generals call on (President Emmanuel) Macron to defend patriotism ‘. It seems important to us to make a point and two remarks relative to the remarks of the president of the National Assembly.

A clarification: Madame Le Pen has the legitimacy of attracting army generals to her. It is his right and each of the soldiers who signed the ‘letter to the governors’ has the possibility according to his convictions to respond favourably to his request. But this in no way binds ‘Place d’Armes’. Our site is not intended to guide its members to a party; each member has the necessary discernment to find his own political path.

Two remarks: To say the least, it is awkward to carry out a ‘soliciting’ operation for electoral purposes. She could have simply said that she was in tune with our concerns. In addition, let her be reassured, we will not stop at simple exhortations. Our fight has only just begun, we will not let go until we reach our goal: to save our country from destruction’.

Then, and perhaps the most serious in his letter, is the total ignorance of the military world. Indeed, out of the thousand signatories (new ones constantly arrive), it privileged only twenty generals. However, if the armies are commanded by generals, no general would exist without the troop and by troop I mean the men of the rank as well as the non-commissioned officers and the officers. By exclusively highlighting 18 high-ranking officers, it neglected the 980 other soldiers who signed up by initialling our letter.
