From Wikipedia:
He was appointed Air Force Chief of Staff by President George H.W. Bush
In 1996, McPeak served as Oregon state chairman for the Bob Dole for President campaign. During the presidential election of 2000 McPeak endorsed George W. Bush and served as co-chairman of Oregon Veterans for Bush.[1]
As the military and foreign policy of the Bush administration coalesced, however, McPeak expressed strong objections, especially with regard to the 2003 invasion of Iraq. McPeak later openly campaigned for Howard Dean’s nomination, and when Dean withdrew, acted as an adviser for the John Kerry campaign. He was also one of twenty-seven signatories to the statement of the “Committee of Diplomats & Commanders for Change” calling the Bush Administration a failure at “preserving national security” and calling for Bush not to be re-elected.
Any adult that goes from supporting conservatives to limp wristed liberals is a mental basket case.
The General sounds like a good man to me...There are liberal generals, I guess. Backing two losers like Dole and Kerry wasn’t too smart. The General is entitled to make mistakes.
