Stars and Stripes weighs in on last night’s questioning of Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump.
They also have a chart in the article on how many (retired) officers of each service have endorsed each candidate.
The overwhelming majority of Army and Marine Corps officers have endorsed Mrs. Clinton; the reverse is true for the Navy and the Air Force (though far fewer officers of those services endorsed either candidate).
I am not big on retired military officers endorsing candidates using their military service or rank as the reason for the endorsement.
I am a strong proponent of the idea the military is subservient to the civilian government. Though I support Hillary Clinton, I have not come out locally and said “I endorse Hillary Clinton.” (I suppose that makes me a hypocrite.)
Damn, sometimes wrestling with moral positions is tough. I don’t want to endorse a political candidate, because of my military affirmation, but at the same time I don’t want a fascist wannabe elected.
