Retired Adm. William McRaven, the former commander of the U.S. Special

op-ed for the Wall Street Journal, the retired admiral talks about the
ballot he cast this week in Texas.

Â*Â*Â* 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:

Â*Â*Â* 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 must have written that 4 or more years ago.

Uh, no.
