Retired Marine Gen. John Allen has endorsed Hillary Clinton, the presumptive Democratic nominee's campaign announced Monday.
Allen, a four-star general who led coalition forces in Afghanistan, acknowledged the endorsement as a "very personal decision."
"Through 37 years of service in the U.S. Marine Corps, I saw some of the toughest challenges that our nation faces around the world, and I know that America has the power to meet those challenges. However, it requires continued leadership and engagement in the world, continued partnership with our allies, and a clear understanding of our adversaries," Allen said in a statement released through the Clinton campaign. "It requires patience and a deep comprehension of the international landscape to make smart decisions about when and how to use military force as well as an understanding that other tools of American power such as diplomacy and development aid - that will [keep] armed forces out of harm's way unless it is absolutely necessary. And it requires a leader who wants to understand these complex issues and seek advice and counsel. Hillary Clinton is all of those things."

I cannot see how this is possible.
SMH.
Someone is compromised—big league.
If I remember correctly, wasn’t there some investigation concerning emails and a female .... something like that. Probably more but kept in a file for later extortion.
So much for “once a Marine, always a Marine.” Sad.
AMEN!!!!
He wasn't impeached.
Traitors first
He wasn't impeached.
He was impeached like Clinton but resigned before the Senate trail. Clinton was not convicted by the Senate and kept his title.
I have no idea what the Hæll he is talking about! Doesn't he mean continued lack of leadership... blah blah blah?
Love your tag line. First LP I bought with my own money at age 13.
Recall that Allen was implicated in part of the Petraeus affair; he was found to have exchanged hundreds of e-mails with the Florida-based seductress known for her wide ranging flirtatiousness. This from an article on the matter: “But by then investigators had uncovered a cache of personal emails between Allen and Jill Kelley, a Florida socialite whom Broadwell saw as a rival for Petraeus’s affection. “

Allen was later “cleared” by obama/clinton of any charges, but at what price?
Now we know the cost.
Since leaving the military in 2013, Allen has worked as an adviser to Secretary of State John Kerry and Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel. He has also been a special U.S. envoy on security issues in talks between Israel and the Palestinians.
That he's endorsing cankles should surprise no one.
Did he advised Hellary on Libya ???
