Retired Adm. William McRaven, the former commander of the U.S. Special
Operations Command, is perhaps best known to Americans as the Navy SEAL
who oversaw the 2011 raid that killed Osama bin Laden. In a new op-ed
for the Wall Street Journal, the retired admiral talks about the ballot
he cast this week in Texas.

Truth be told, I am a pro-life, pro-Second Amendment,
small-government, strong-defense and a national-anthem-standing
conservative. But, I also believe that black lives matter, that the
Dreamers deserve a path to citizenship, that diversity and inclusion are
essential to our national success, that education is the great
equalizer, that climate change is real and that the First Amendment is
the cornerstone of our democracy. Most important, I believe that America
must lead in the world with courage, conviction and a sense of honor and
humility.

He added, "I voted for Joe Biden."

Taking aim specifically at the president's repeated insistence that the
United States is held in higher regard thanks to his leadership, McRaven
also wrote, without ever mentioning the incumbent president's name:

Now, the world no longer looks up to America. They have been
witness to our dismissiveness, our lack of respect and our transactional
approach to global issues. They have seen us tear up our treaties, leave
our allies on the battlefield and cozy up to despots and dictators. They
have seen our incompetence in handling the pandemic and the wildfires.
They have seen us struggle with social injustice. They no longer think
we can lead, because they have seen an ineptness and a disdain for
civility that is beyond anything in their memory. But, without American
leadership the world will indeed be transformed, just not in the way we
hope.
He seems to disagree with Biden on a=lmost everything.

He just doesn't like people who stop the endless wars. Bad for
business.
