ARLINGTON, VA -- U.S. Senator John McCain's presidential campaign today announced that 300 retired generals and admirals from around the country are endorsing John McCain for president. The retired generals and admirals announced their support with the following letter:
"We have had the honor and privilege of serving as career officers in the United States Armed Forces, and of serving shoulder to shoulder with so many of the fine young men and women who are the backbone of America's Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps and Coast Guard. It is that experience that informs our judgment that John McCain is the presidential candidate best suited to serve as America's Commander-in Chief from the day of his inauguration.

John McCain is an honorable man. This is great news!
Very nice.
General Washington says, “Capital fellow!”
Admiral Nimitz says, “Way to go, Johnny!”
General Custer says, “Ow, my heart!”
Great news! How many endorsed Bush in 2004?
Oh yeah? Well 3000 community “organizers” / gang promoters / thug activists endorse Uh-bam-uh.
And they’ve been “retired” much longer (since they dropped out of high school and became eligible for welfare, community “reinvestment”, and every other shakedown program).
Beat that.
I’d love to see a short TV with a number of these retired officers saying why they support John McCain.
As ech one speaks, tey could flash that person’s name and rank below their picture.
I think it’d be a powerful ad.
Didn’t Kerry have about 30?
Wait and see... ;-)
I see that my first commanding officer, and fellow Plankowner, on the USS Nicholas (FFG-47)is on the list.
Rear(actually Vice)Admiral James F. Amerault, USN (Ret.)
Admiral Amerault always instilled pride and inspired confidence through his strong leadership and sound judgement.....still Carrying on a Proud Tradition
Of course the dead ones likely endorsed Obama.
But these 300 generals outshine these 3000 fools anyday!
Kerry thought he didn’t need military officers, after all, he had Newsweak and the rest of the media.
I endorse John McCain also.
Hooah.
Hey 0bama has those two phuckwits Weaseley Clark and Tony McPeek-a-Boo, what more does he need? LOL
HUA! HOOO-WAAAAAHHHH!!
Impressive list
Interesting that Gen’s Pete Pace, Dick Myers (last 2 CJCS’s) and ADM Ed Giambastiani (last VCJCS), ADM Vern Clark (recent CNO), GEN Hagee (recent CMC) and Gen Schoomaker (recent CSA) did not add their names to the list.
Maybe just staying above the fray?
Thoughts?
That’s nothing, Barack Obama has 300 warlords endorsing him. These are thugs from South America, Africa, and Asia.
