Retired military generals have described Donald Trump as a “danger” to America’s security as they endorsed Kamala Harris.
On the eve of a critical debate between Ms Harris and her Republican rival, 10 former top US military chiefs released a letter calling the vice-president the only candidate “who is fit to serve” in the country’s highest office.
While Ms Harris had “demonstrated her ability to take on the most difficult national security challenges in the Situation Room and on the international stage”, they wrote, Trump posed “a danger to our national security and democracy”.
The letter, signed by retired General Larry Ellis and retired Rear Admiral Michael Smith, among others, accused Trump of disparaging service members and putting them in “harm’s way”, including with his deal to free 5,000 Taliban fighters.
It coincided with a new Harris campaign advert placed in Palm Beach featuring Trump’s most senior former officials warning of the risks of his White House return.
The attack advert shows a montage of scathing comments about the Republican ex-president by some of his most senior former cabinet officials in what appears to be an effort to goad him ahead of their televised live showdown on Tuesday night.
“In 2016, Donald Trump said he would choose only the best people to work in his White House,” the attack advert’s narrator said. “Now those people have a warning for America: Trump is not fit to be president again.”
I want to be the one to point out that retired generals making political statements is heavily frowned upon, so for them to take a step beyond that and ENDORSE A CANDIDATE is practically unheard of except in fringe cases like Michael Flynn.
Upper brass is a pretty exclusive club, and retirees don’t generally make political statements to avoid stepping on the toes of the currently serving generals/admirals. If multiple generals/admirals felt the need to take this step, they would’ve done it with the knowledge and consent of current leadership.

If appeals to conscious thought worked on Repubs, Donald wouldn’t have gotten in there in 2016 to prove he is unfit. Unfortunately, all Repubs are dimwitted cultists or sociopaths.
Wait, but the folks on lemmy.ml told me that a vote for Kamala was the same as voting for Trump, especially the single issue voters on Palestine. How is it possible that Trump is more dangerous‽

Do you think that we give a fucking shit what US military generals have to say?
It seems to have upset you. Are the other MAGA campaigners equally mad?
All of the US’s generals should be in prison, not giving interviews. They’re some of the worst people on Earth and their endorsement of Harris should make you extremely concerned.
Also, America was never great.
I actually think MAGAs such as yourself are also amongst the worst people on Earth. You love genocide so much you want Donald back in to “finish the job” in Gaza, bomb the fuck out of Yemen, aid Russia in demolishing Ukraine. Along with ensuring human rights erode even further in America. It is disgusting that you are on here every day campaigning for Donald.
“If you’re not with us you’re with the enemy!”
Harris is going to help Israel finish the job in Palestine. They’re already expanding the extermination campaign into the West Bank right now, and she will just continue Biden’s unlimited support for Israel.
And that’s why she’s being endorsed by generals. They love genocide.
If you’re not against the worst option you are for the worst option. You are a MAGA.
You want it to happen faster and more thoroughly, and you want genocides elsewhere. You want LGBT people scared and closeted for their safety. You want mass deportations in America. You are a disgusting individual, especially pretending to care about this issue to campaign on behalf of such an awful piece of shit.
I’m trans. They’re going to fucking kill me.
I still won’t vote for genocide. I’d rather die.
Trump is a danger to lgbtq people
Trump is a danger to illegal aliens
Trump is a danger to progressives and liberals
That’s all some people want to hear.
The fuckwit is a danger to everyone.
