Title: 88 former military leaders write letter backing Donald Trump for president
Post by: James on September 06, 2016, 11:48:10 AM
Washington (CNN) — Donald Trump's campaign released a letter Tuesday signed by 88 retired military leaders endorsing his presidential candidacy, including four four-star generals and 14 three-star flag officers, according to the campaign.

The group, which was organized by Maj. Gen. Sidney Shachnow and Rear Admiral Charles Williams, praised Trump and declared that "the 2016 election affords the American people an urgently needed opportunity to make a long-overdue course correction in our national security posture and policy."

Also included in the letter was Gen. Burwell Bell, a retired four-star general who commanded US forces in Korea from 2006 until his retirement in 2008, and a notable inclusion in light of Trump's rhetoric allowing for the possibility of nuclear proliferation in the Asia-Pacific region.

"We support Donald Trump and his commitment to rebuild our military, secure our borders, to defeat our Islamic supremacist adversaries, and restore law and order domestically. We urge our fellow Americans to do the same."

A chunk of military folks endorsed the republican candidate for president, and Repubs are running around celebrating like they won the lottery.

I assure you, nothing you say could confuse anyone.  You seldom get the sarcasm/dry humor.that occurs on this board and often find yourself responding in a serious fashion.  I can't understand why a half wit like you actually comes to the board.  Most of the subject matter goes 2 miles over your head

I guess you are being snide and therefore not to be taken seriously. Could you pull up one of my recent 15K responses. I thought I'd moved past that.

In your opinion, I am politically bias. Aren't you politically bias too?

The Army ... quietly issuing him a scathing reprimand following a criminal investigation that concluded he had wrongfully released classified information, [for the book/movie Black Hawk Down]



Then there is

“I knew that my God was a real God, and his was an idol.”

Yeah, I noticed that "Disgraced and Little-Known Generals" bullshit headline in the other thread.  But then they buried a little hedge in their story to be safe: “To be sure, scores of the signatories had exemplary military records and continue to work in public service”

So WTF.  Who the hell do they think they are, to publish this shit with that 100% misleading headline?

Seriously?  So he was given a written reprimand, after he retired, for improperly disclosing classified intel in his book (which he denies), and that makes him a disgraced former general?  Despite the fact he served 37 years, retired as a three-star general, and had one of the most successful careers in Army history?  Unreal the lengths liberals go to try and demonize people.  

And are you also suggesting the quotes make him a disgraced former general??

FOX is playing right along with the rest of them.  A Globalist Billionaire Club all on the same team, all with the same interests, all performing in the same stage-show.  Any "differences" they claim aren't coincidentally things the wealthy are unaffected by.

I just looked at the list and is not really that impressive.  Very few recognizable names, a ton of Brigadier Generals and Rear Admirals,  some of them were drummed out of the military from crimes and violations.
