500 Admirals, Generals to Endorse Romney

[BigBadBrian]

Nearly 500 former military admirals and generals are poised to endorse Mitt Romney, the Washington Free Beacon has learned.

The group will post a full page ad in the Washington Times on Monday. The advertisement will have the headline, “We, the undersigned, proudly support Governor Mitt Romney as our nation’s next President and Commander-in-Chief,” followed by the names of the former military commanders.

A spokesman for the group emphasized its independence from the official campaign. The Romney campaign has not sanctioned this ad buy, a spokesman said, and the members of the group are paying the fee themselves.

The spokesman added that 389 of the individuals on the list are on the Romney Military Advisory Council, too. The Romney campaign has already announced these individuals’ endorsement.

“They have 389 on their list,” the spokesman said, while “we have almost 500.”

The list comes as a Military Times survey revealed that active duty, National Guard, and military reserve members support Romney over Obama by a two to one margin. link

I own a boat so that would make me admiral of my navy... unless it's one of those days when Mrs Z feels it's her day in the captain's chair...

Shame how our military is exploited for a politician's personal gain

Shame that you think that based on some BBB bullshit...

These people are retired and now private citizens. Military personnel are not allowed to support any politician while they're in an official capacity.

TheBlaze was sent an advanced copy of how the ad is expected to appear:

Did you hear about the 4 star general that ate a bunch of laxatives?






















He was relieved of his duty.

Don't give a flying fuck about some former general/admiral's choice for president. I'm not really under their command anymore, so whatever comes out of their "senile/overpaid schill for the defense industry" mouth is meaningless.

“They have 389 on their list,” the spokesman said, while “we have almost 500.”

Yeah, but ours goes to 11.

BTW, this endorsement came from "The Blaze". Glenn Beck's stupid-ass news site.

Here's a classic from that coked-out zoocrew DJ:

And this means what? The military, or more correctly, the retired military doesn't support Obama!
Out of all the retired military personnel they could only find 500
