Editor's note: Military Times has invited Donald Trump's campaign to provide a commentary from one of its senior military supporters. We expect to receive a submission in the coming days.
In less than 100 days, Americans will go to the polls to elect the 45th president of the United States. As a proud Marine and an even prouder American, I would like to offer a few thoughts on one of the most important duties that the president fulfills, commander in chief, and why I am confident that Hillary Clinton is the right person for the job.
On Jan. 20, 2017, our new president will assume command of the roughly 2.1 million men and women serving in our armed forces, both in active duty and reserve roles. The commander in chief will become responsible for sending them into harm’s way, and caring for them and their families when they return. She will have to work every day to keep our country secure in the face of increasingly complex challenges.
