Retired US Army Gen. Stanley A. McChrstal endorses Kamala Harris in New York Times op-ed

 "As a citizen, veteran and voter, I was not comfortable with many of the policy recommendations that Democrats offered at their convention in Chicago or those Republicans articulated in Milwaukee" ...

"I’ve thought deeply about my choice and considered what I’ve seen and heard and what I owe my three granddaughters. I’ve concluded that it isn’t political slogans or cultural tribalism; it is the best president my vote might help select. So I have cast my vote for character, and that vote is for Vice President Kamala Harris.

Ms. Harris has the strength, the temperament and, importantly, the values to serve as commander in chief. When she sits down with world leaders like President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine, representing the United States on the global stage, I have no doubt that she is working in our national interest, not her own."

US Army General (ret.) Stanley Allen McChrystal is best known for his command of Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC) from 2003 to 2008 credited with the operation under his command resulting in the death of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, leader of Al-Qaeda in Iraq.
