Ten former top US military officials back Harris, call Trump ''a danger''

2024-09-10

[GEOTV] A group of 10 retired top US military officials endorsed US Vice President Kamala Harris
It is time for us to do what we have been doing. And that time is every day
in a letter made public on Monday, saying she is the only presidential candidate fit to serve as the nation's commander in chief and calling her Republican rival Donald Trump
...The Hero of Butler, Pennsylvania...
"a danger to our national security and democracy."

The letter, signed by Retired General Larry Ellis and Retired Rear Admiral Michael Smith, among others, cited Trump's comments disparaging members of the military and his own "chaotic approach" to Afghanistan ahead of the US withdrawal, including negotiating a deal with the Taliban
Taliban

...mindless ferocity in a turban...
that allowed 5,000 of the group's fighters to return to the battlefield.

In contrast, they wrote, Harris "has demonstrated her ability to take on the most difficult national security challenges in the Situation Room and on the international stage," from Russia's invasion of Ukraine to tensions with China in the Indo-Pacific.

"Harris is the best — and only — presidential candidate in this race who is fit to serve as our commander in chief," they wrote in the letter posted on X by Harris's campaign.

So sweet of them to tell us how to think.

The Democratic vice president and Trump, who is running for the third time after serving from 2017 to early 2021, face a tight race before the November 5 election in an unprecedented contest in which the future of American democracy looms large.

The letter coincided with a new Harris campaign ad released before the two candidates' Tuesday night debate featuring former Trump officials warning that a second Trump presidency would pose major risks.

#10 #4 The 'new' Klingon strategy for AFG appears to be to create a well armed and financed Taliban tinderbox to make mischief and counter the Iranian and Paki regimes.

A paranoid person might start to think that the shambolic withdrawal was actually a plan to leave behind a whole *bleep*load of equipment.

#6 Interesting.

Is this in regards to buying evacuation time with a bunker full of cash, the surrender of tens of millions of tax payer funded equipment, or the kicking off refugees from planes in order to load war trophies?

#5 As suspected, Larry Ellis, black general.

I see preliminary indications of some success.
