Politico: 2 retired 4-star officers who served under Trump endorse Biden

They signed on alongside nearly 200 other retired generals and admirals.

Two recently retired four-star officers who served under President Donald Trump have joined a group of nearly 500 national security leaders in endorsing Joe Biden and condemning the commander in chief they served.

Retired Air Force Gen. Paul Selva, who was the second-highest ranking officer in the military as vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff until August 2019, signed on to an open letter released Thursday by the group National Security Leaders for Biden. He is joined by retired Adm. Paul Zukunft, who was the commandant of the Coast Guard until June 2018.

They signed on alongside nearly 200 other retired generals and admirals in throwing their support behind the former vice president. The list also includes former defense secretaries, ambassadors, and a number of high-profile Republicans,

It is rare for recently-retired high-ranking military officers to publicly endorse a political candidate or criticize a commander in chief they served. While former top military leaders have endorsed Biden and blasted Trump, Selva is the highest-ranking Trump-era leader to do so. Trump's predecessor, Barack Obama, selected both Selva and Zukunft for the jobs, but they served well into the Trump administration.

Any one outside of the DoD heard of Zukunft or Selva before today?

I bet these political generals can polish their shoes or other things real well.

More than 200 retired generals, admirals endorse Biden, including some who served under Trump
"Our allies no longer trust or respect us, and our enemies no longer fear us," the former officers and officials wrote in a letter released Thursday.

The only “deep state” is the one that President Drump is trying to build with his AG. He surrounds himself with yes men ready to do his bidding.

As an ally we trust Trump and not those generals who were nominated by Obama, We’ve seen Obama as very weak.
