WASHINGTON (WNDU) - VoteVets, the largest progressive group of veterans in America, is endorsing South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg for president.
It is the first presidential endorsement for the group, which represents more than 700,000 veterans, military families and civilian supporters.
"We need a candidate who will win," VoteVets Chairman Jon Soltz says in a release. "Bar none, Pete gives us the best shot at doing just that. It is time to rally around him, and stop the walking, talking national security threat that is Donald Trump."
Buttigieg is a veteran himself. He took a leave of absence as mayor of South Bend in 2014 and was deployed to Afghanistan for seven months.
"I'm honored to have this endorsement from my fellow veterans as we seek to take on our nation's most urgent challenges and pick up the pieces and put the country back together after Trump," Buttigieg says in the release.
He was honorably discharged from the U.S. Navy Reserve in 2017.
Buttigieg has vowed to bring all U.S. troops home from Afghanistan within his first year as president.

Buttigieg worked 3 years for the CIA front Company McKinsey & Company.
Women know that word, because that’s where we get stitches during normal childbirth.
Woah!
I would think “stealth transition” would be illegal, because you have to lie about your health and medications.
First time I’ve read the truth about what that Buttplug actually did overseas.
More info, please.
Up the poop shoot...Vets?
That assumes that
1. all women are 100% conscious when giving birth,
2. no drugs of any kind were used,
3. the doctor delivering the baby used that word,
4. they actually heard him/her say it,
5. they knew what the word meant AND
6. all women need stitches.
ERGO not all women know that word.
I don’t understand #1 and 2. Unconscious women don’t get cut, and drugs increase the skin’s elasticity? #6 I assumed was around 80%. #4: been too long for me to remember how I learned that word. Probably because I asked the doctor about whether I’d need to be cut.

Congress Sniffing Around Botched McKinsey Studies Depicted as Impairing Intelligence Agencies

After a series of scandals, yet more of McKinseys dirty laundry is getting aired. Its bad enough that, to name a few of the rash of well-deserved critical stories, that the storied consulting firm is implicated in criminal fraud in South Africa, or that its work for the Saudi government resulted in the persecution of Twitter dissidents that McKinsey identified, or that a contract in Mongolia served as a vehicle for three officials to take illegal payments.
But with the US intelligence apparatus, McKinsey looks to have committed a cardinal sin: doing work that was so shoddy that not only is the client complaining about it, but it can actually show that the engagement did harm.
Mind you, its not as if poor quality consulting studies are unusual. Consulting often winds up being a lot like therapy, so the hired guns may not be providing the greatest advice, but the client executives come to rely on them anyhow, turing the advisors into enablers. As one fellow McKinsey consultant observed, The problem with consulting is you are hired by the problem and The most profitable clients are the most diseased.
So it is not at all good to see McKinsey take organizations that are pretty competent, namely the CIA, NSA, and other intelligence, and make them worse off.
