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.

He thinks Joey Diapers will make a perfect puppet for him and his war profiteering friends. What kind of general endorses a guy with dementia? Our military is just like any government job where the incompetent ass kissers always get promoted. The good guys who don’t suck ass are never promoted. What a shame.
Trust to. . . . . Keep the war machine going?
Perhaps his endorsement will gain him a position as commandant of one of the re-education camps that Harris will set up.
LOL. You are so right. He did miss one.
Not afraid at all. They couldn’t handle 20000 guys in pajamas in the mountains of Afghanistan. How are they gonna handle tens of millions on home turf? They lose in every instance it’s been war gamed.
Of course he does. He was/is a prick that thinks nothing of the troops. ( re: Afghanistan.) There was a reason I hated that guy.
All the war criminals lining up for Biden, who will keep the wars going & start new ones. Ghouls.
This was the guy who got fired by obama yet he is still a lapdog for the democrats. Once a democrat general, always a democrat general.

Remember Neo-Cons like this the next time someone tries to get us all choked up and teary-eyed about the military.
Deep State Military Complex joins the The Enemy of the People Party! Not surprised.
Just as there are ObamaJudges, there are also ObamaGenerals.
Retired general or admiral grade US officers should stay out of politics and not make public announcements concerning politics.
Serving US military personnel still look to retired commanders for advice and morale so the retired commanders should stick to only advice on training, tactics and how to motivate personnel. To add politics is going against the way the military is separate from politics and honors its duty to follow the Constitution and defend America.
We are not the same USA... we are the new and depleted USSA... 3rd world, socialist nation....
He’s a great general, but endorsing a candidate doesn’t mean much to me.
Sorry, EXgeneral, Myself and an employee at Burger King are supporting Trump, SO your endorsement is now worthless.
Quite easily sadly. Tens of millions with no binding interest are no different than any disorganized military force. Not saying a new leader will not arise that could bind them together but we have yet to see them. Where is our version of Soros?
Retired military brass favoring a corrupt Deep State ISIS-creating, family bribe-taking warmonger. Whodathunkit?
Has McChrystal thought ahead to the military’s future under President Harris?
The general obamaumao the Marxist socialist fired over comments made during a Rolling Stone-d reporter’s day long workday visit.
Because McChrystal knew and knows about obamaumao’s and hitlery’s gunrunning-— and Biden’s as well (and therefore his supporting Biden is protecting McChrystal’s OWN A@@- in point of FACT!).
Spooks gotta spook— and McChrystal had an opportunity to do the right thing— but stayed in with the perpetual “war causers” not the “finishers” or “preventers”.
Another Never Trumper...wasn’t he a buddy of GWB?
Didn’t this guy get caught up in the Obama purge of senior military officers? I was thinking Obama sacked him.
