Admiral McRaven for Biden
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. -- 220,000+ Americans will never recover from the incompetence of Donald Trump. :( |

Military people think we should still be grinding deeper into those no win wars Trump pulled us out of and if you think the Iraqis or Afghanis are "allies" you are still drunk from the Bush/Cheney/Wolfowitz Kool Ade. You're nuts. What wars has Bomber Trump pulled us out of? Because a war ends doesn't mean Bomber Trump ended it. You're alway whining about bombing, but when Trump B-52's Afghanistan to hell you make like he's a peacenik.. Get real. Talk about Kool Ade. |
