It's quite possible that he's the only former military big-hitter with the balls to do this.    

But I'm hoping that this starts something big.

I hope they vote that way, but I do not want any current brass to EVER endorse a candidate of any political party.  After retirement, feel free.

I understand and agree with the sentiment overall.

Here, the point of leading with it is to emphasize that, despite disagreement with Biden on these issues, he's still clearly preferred to the alternative.

This licenses others with similar views either to vote for Biden or at least stay home.

I think he is zoned in on saving human life by any means necessary. Give him a pass.

Well that would have been an odd opening line.

Rather than seeking to build on the legacy of the Republican Party’s founders, of which Trump is surely ignorant, Trump has posited a single purpose for the GOP — the celebration of him.

 

Quote

Consequently, America has watched as the Republican Party stopped pursuing its animating principles of freedom and opportunity. It has given up its voice on things that mattered and instead bent the arc of the party towards the baser motives of one man, who is neither a Republican nor a conservative.
