"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.
WASHINGTON — More than 200 retired generals and admirals endorsed Joe Biden for president in a letter published Thursday, saying he had the character and judgment to serve as commander-in-chief instead of President Donald Trump, who has failed"to meet challenges large or small."
"My own personal view is that I have a duty to be involved in civic matters of the nation that I'm a citizen" of, retired Adm. Steve Abbot said of his decision to sign the letter. Story continues"Over the past four years, I've seen what is a clear manipulation of our military to serve his personal needs," Abbot said."The military has been a loyal, reliable constant in this country because of its apolitical nature. And here we had a president working to undermine it."
"We are Republicans, Democrats, and Independents. We love our country. Unfortunately, we also fear for it," they wrote. "The current President has demonstrated he is not equal to the enormous responsibilities of his office; he cannot rise to meet challenges large or small. Thanks to his disdainful attitude and his failures, our allies no longer trust or respect us, and our enemies no longer fear us," the letter says.
