200 Retired Generals and Admirals Support Biden

This news article is really quite surprising to me and really quite a bummer for those of us that support Trump and support our military.  

WASHINGTON — More than 200 retired generals and admirals endorsed Joe Biden for president in a letter published Thursday, saying he had the character and judgment to serve as commander-in-chief instead of President Donald Trump, who has failed "to meet challenges large or small."

Some of the officers who signed the letter supporting Biden had retired only in the past few years, including Air Force Gen. Paul Selva, who served as vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff under Trump before he retired in August 2019; Vice Adm. Gardner Howe, a Navy SEAL leader who also retired last year; and retired Adm. Paul Zukunft, who oversaw the Coast Guard until 2018.

"We are Republicans, Democrats, and Independents. We love our country. Unfortunately, we also fear for it," they wrote.

The retired officers and officials said the country needs a principled, honest leader who shows empathy for fellow citizens, values alliances, makes informed decisions and takes personal responsibility.

"While some of us may have different opinions on particular policy matters, we trust Joe Biden's positions are rooted in sound judgment, thorough understanding, and fundamental values," they wrote.

"The current President has demonstrated he is not equal to the enormous responsibilities of his office; he cannot rise to meet challenges large or small. Thanks to his disdainful attitude and his failures, our allies no longer trust or respect us, and our enemies no longer fear us," the letter says.

"Climate change continues unabated, as does North Korea's nuclear program. The president has ceded influence to a Russian adversary who puts bounties on the heads of American military personnel, and his trade war against China has only harmed America's farmers and manufacturers," it says.

Several retired African American military leaders signed the letter, including retired Lt. Gen. Walt Gaskin, who commanded Marines in western Iraq; retired Lt. Gen. Willie Williams, who served as the No. 3 in the Marine Corps; and retired Lt. Gen. Ronald Coleman, who became the second African American in the Marine Corps to reach three-star rank.

A number of retired ambassadors also signed on, including Robert Blackwill, who was Bush's deputy national security adviser; James Cunningham, who was ambassador to Israel and Afghanistan under both Republican and Democratic administrations; and Robert Ford, a former ambassador to Algeria and Syria.

We have a few thoughts about this.  We continue to believe that the vast majority of people who serve in the military are Trump supporters.  You can see it when Trump visits military bases and the soldiers go about as wild as folks do at Trump rallies.

We also know that the swamp is very deep in D.C.  If these top brass have been hanging out with the power brokers of D.C. for the past 30 years of their military careers I suppose it's very possible that some of them contracted swamp fever.

It's very hard for us to understand how they can be watching the same feeble Biden that we can all see and believe he would make a strong commander in chief.

Also please remember that the Air Force Academy in Colorado has done away with almost all of their Christianity and traditional Christian services and some years ago even allowed a High Place to be erected on their campus so pagans and heathens could worship their gods while on campus.

We blogged on this story over 10 years ago and you can see our blog post here;  https://thetrumpetblows.blogspot.com/2010/02/air-force-witches.html

Certainly it's true what 1 John 5 has told us all along, "The whole world is under the control of the Evil One."
