Military Officers and Politics: Just say No
10/25/2020
By James Durso
Proving that old soldiers never simply fade away, many of America’s retired generals and admirals recently voiced their support for presidential candidates Donald Trump or Joe Biden.
And in an interesting turn, Stanley McChrystal who commanded NATO forces in Afghanistan, and who resignedafter a media report that he mocked then-vice president Joe Biden, announced he will endorse Joe Biden for president.
Does this mean he hates President Trump or loves Joe Biden? He may not be sure himself, but he said he agonizedover it, though his rationale – that the Obama administration had a better staff process – ignores the results of that process: a campaign in Afghanistan where NATO forces “underperformed†to put it politely.
