Retired four-star Gen. Stanley McChrystal has endorsed Joe Biden for the White House, citing his time working with the former vice president under the Obama administration and saying the Democratic nominee is "someone that you can trust."
McChrystal, speaking on MSNBC Thursday morning, said Biden “is humble enough to listen to experts, is humble enough to respect people who serve and have served.”
“I think that he would surround himself with an effective team of good people, I think he would set a tone in which he would bring out the best of people. Again, not everyone will agree with every policy, nobody ever will, and that’s healthy in a democracy. But we have to believe in our values, you have to believe that your commander in chief at the end of the day is someone that you can trust. And I can trust Joe Biden,” McChrystal added when asked if he thinks Biden would be a better commander in chief than President Trump.
McChrystal is best known for his role as the former commander of U.S. and international forces in Afghanistan. He is currently a senior fellow at Yale University’s Jackson Institute for Global Affairs.
The Biden campaign touted McChrystal as joining a group of nearly 500 top military and national security officials who have already thrown their support behind the Democratic presidential nominee.

Gee, next thing you’re going to tell me is that Wesley Clark is going to endorse Biden.
Not surprising, at least to me that McChrystal supports Biden. He was a Never-Trumper all along.
If you look at top row of the ribbons on retired general McChrystal’s service dress uniform, there is a red one with yellow stars for Communist China and a pink one with green dollar signs for whore.

Pat Tillman’s Mom: McChrystal Helped in Cover-Up
“Mary explained, “I wrote the book, came out in 2008, and I indicate that McChrystal was involved in orchestrating the cover-up. He falsified the Silver Star. He was very aware that Pat was killed by friendlies. And then, when he was going to be promoted to the head commander in Afghanistan, I had contacted President Obama, I e-mailed him and written a letter and contacted members of Congress, just trying to remind them that this man needed to be scrutinized very carefully. And in the end, it turned out that he was pretty much meant for that position. He was a shoo-in. Of course, he was promoted. And, that is part of the foreword.” “

No one should be surprised by that. It is par for their course. In other words, expected. The Chesty Pullers, General Pattons, Col, Darbys, General Ridgeways, Admiral Halseys are gone forever.
POS. He’s obviously not thinking of what’s best for those young people who were under his command.
IIRC he got fired for letting his staff call Biden Bite me. What a biotch this guy is.
When Trump wins, he needs to undo the Democrat purge of constitutionalists and warriors from our military, not neglecting the service academies.

Did Stanley release the news through the Rolling Stone?
Well, I’m a retired SFC and I endorse Trump.
That about evens that out.
Odd, too. Back in 2010 Rolling Stone ran that expose that revealed how McChrystal bad-mouthed both Biden and Obama. He caught quite a ration for it, as I recall.
Not sure about the pizza thing but, I think there are a lot of Pentagon people who can’t sleep unless some of our kids are being killed in some useless war. Screw the brass that support Biden.
Wikipedia:
Four-star grades go hand-in-hand with the positions of office they are linked to, so these ranks are temporary. Officers may only achieve four-star grade if they are appointed to positions of office that require and/or allow the officer to hold such a rank.[26] Their rank expires with the expiration of their term of office, which is usually set by statute.[26] Four-star officers are nominated for appointment by the President from any eligible officers holding a one-star grade or above, who also meets the other requirements for the position, under the advice and/or suggestion of their respective executive department secretary, service secretary, and if applicable the joint chiefs.[26] The nominee must be confirmed via majority by the Senate before the appointee can take office and thus assume the rank.[26]
Ten years ago the Generals staff mocked Biden
Then he was fired by obama for incompetence in Afghanistan
Now he endorses a senile feeble Biden as POTUS
Yeah, McChrystal is a really stable guy.
Generals and Majors always seem so unhappy unless they got a war.
Oh for Christ’s sake...another Obama general even though he canned him.
Yea, like Russia.
