Letter to the editor: Military generals’ endorsement of Harris is telling

Tribune-Review | Friday, October 11, 2024 5:00 a.m.

The letter “Trump is the tough leader we need” (Sept. 27, TribLive) talked about Donald Trump’s toughness and said he can’t be bought. I would remind voters Trump spent three hours alone with Vladimir Putin; one can only imagine what they discussed, aside from Putin’s knowledge of Trump’s proclivities during his Miss USA event in Moscow.

Just as important is the recent endorsement of Kamala Harris by Gen. Stanley McChrystal, former commander of U.S. and NATO forces in Afghanistan and Iraq who even disparaged Joe Biden and resigned afterwards and never worked for Trump. Please read what this patriot said about leadership and character that is needed for the most important job in the world.

Additionally, Marine Gen. John Kelley, former Secretary of Defense Gen. James Mattis and other retired top military officials have backed Harris over Trump, as have hundreds of top national security officials.

The future of democracy is just as important as individual pocketbooks. I trust these decorated war veterans’ experience in leadership more than I trust the self-described “stable genius” who stated the Medal of Freedom is more important than the Medal of Honor.

Also, I don’t think most Americans realize Europe suffered a higher inflation rate (11.5% in 2022) than the U.S. Apparently that damn Biden even screwed up Europe!

Make an educated vote.
