Dear Members of Congress, The United States military answers to one chain of command: the Commander in Chief, the Congress, and through them, the American people. It is not a shared asset. It is not a joint venture. And it is not available for merger with any foreign state — ally or otherwise. Yet Section 219 (formerly 224) of the FY2027 NDAA would do exactly what its authors insist it doesn’t: install a Pentagon “executive agent” charged with promoting the long-term integration of joint capabilities between the United States and Israel — including network integration and data fusion of our military systems. Our data becomes their data. Our supply chains become their supply chains. Our procurement priorities become negotiable with a foreign government that American voters cannot hold accountable. This was buried in a $1.15 trillion bill with virtually no public debate. When Representative Khanna moved to strike it in committee, the amendment was voted down. And we know where the pressure came from: Prime Minister Netanyahu personally wrote to an Indiana congressman, Rep. Marlin Stutzman, urging this “new framework” — and a week later, the companion resolution appeared. A foreign head of state is drafting the architecture of American defense policy, and Congress is obliging. Defense cooperation is one thing. Structural fusion of defense industrial bases, data networks, and weapons pipelines — engineered to be impossible to untangle — is another. Once integrated, we lose the ability to say no. That is not alliance. That is entanglement without exit. I am asking three things: 1 Allow the Massie-Khanna amendment to strike Section 219 to receive a floor vote. 2 Vote yes on that amendment. 3 Reject the Senate’s parallel provision (Section 1217) and any FUTURES Act framework that replicates this integration by another name. If Congress wants to aid Israel, put it to an open vote, on the record, where constituents can see it. Do not fuse our military into a foreign state’s war machine through a buried provision no voter approved. Our armed forces belong to the American people. Keep it that way. Sincerely, A Voting Constituent
