Most military folk won't support Biden or his affiliates like Harris, and most notably llan Omar who has shown disdain for the military by her remarks on their involvement with Somalia, and how "Some people did some things".

Biden isn't going to be commander of anything. He's just a place holder. I don't even think Harris is going to be either. Heaven forbid if they win, (I really don't think they will though because the mail in ballots are already shown to be fraudulent and people are backlashing against them like crazy) Harris eligibility of being a natural born American citizen will play, Nancy Pelosi, if the Dems retain the house, will use it to push Harris out and will become the sitting president. And I doubt things will go smoothly. There will be a civil war, which is why I am already making plans to sell all my assets and move my family to Poland if Biden wins.

That's certainly not the only reason or a very good reason, but there are so many good reasons not to vote for Trump. Too many! Among them is Trump's utter lack of respect for telling the truth. Honesty. Just for starters. He just says what he likes no matter the facts to the contrary. Whatever suits his agenda. Period. Like this about absentee voter fraud. Trump has never been able to substantiate his claims, and no one else has either. No matter. Trump says so and now it's a thing. That's some scary deep trouble water Trump is leading America into...

"The COVID-19 pandemic has brought absentee and by-mail voting to the forefront of national attention in ways few could have predicted. BPC elections experts predict that as many as 70 percent of all ballots cast in the November election will be cast by mail.

As rates of absentee and mail voting increase, some government officials have raised concerns that more mail voting will lead to widespread voter fraud. Not only are rates of voter fraud extremely low, but even before the pandemic all states allowed some form of absentee voting, with the majority of states allowing no-excuse absentee voting or all-mail voting (also called vote-by-mail or VBM).

We sat down with three experienced state and local election officials and members of BPC’s Task Force on Elections to better understand the precautions that they take to make sure the absentee voting process is secure and reliable. Below are some highlights of our conversations, edited for clarity."

So you say the rate of fraud is very low, but Trump has said it is high, and THAT'S the reason to vote against him??!!
Because you believe he is WRONG??!!

There are currently 411 one stars, 299 two stars, 139 three stars, and 37 four-star active generals and admirals, with several more appointed recently
That makes 886 on active duty. 4700 retired.
You could find 200 nutcases easily.

More than 200 retired generals, admirals endorse Biden, including some who served under Trump

https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/202...LDyZSHHIIFIVCU

"Our allies no longer trust or respect us, and our enemies no longer fear us," the former officers and officials wrote in a letter released Thursday.

WASHINGTON — More than 200 retired generals and admirals endorsed Joe Biden for president in a letter published Thursday, saying he had the character and judgment to serve as commander-in-chief instead of President Donald Trump, who has failed "to meet challenges large or small."

Some of the officers who signed the letter supporting Biden had retired only in the past few years, including Air Force Gen. Paul Selva, who served as vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff under Trump before he retired in August 2019; Vice Adm. Gardner Howe, a Navy SEAL leader who also retired last year; and retired Adm. Paul Zukunft, who oversaw the Coast Guard until 2018.

The list of signatories featured 22 retired four-star military officers, among them Navy Adm. Samuel Locklear, who oversaw all U.S. forces in the Pacific from 2012 to 2015, and Adm. Harry Ulrich, who commanded U.S. naval forces in Europe during President George W. Bush's administration.
Is this the same 200 lawyers and lawmakers who opposed building the wall? How about the same 200 that opposed a racist president? Or perhaps the same 200 who opposed the Kavanaugh appointment? Or perhaps the same 200 that were for impeachment?

These articles are far past their prime in effectiveness. Quite boring and lacking in original content.

It isn't what I say, and if Trump says otherwise, he should do more than just say so to back up his beliefs and positions. Immigration policy and good supreme court justices matter. Most definitely, but following Trump's lead based on falsehoods is not a good idea. It's the kind of mistake that has caused many a problem over the course of human history, but given your reply, I suspect you are yet another who doesn't understand the importance of getting our facts right. The importance of sound reason and logic, let alone honesty, integrity and all else I think our founding fathers had in mind to promote a strong and just union.
