General Larry Ellis, a highly decorated veteran who served under ten presidential administrations, including serving as the commander of the U.S. Army Forces Command under George W. Bush endorsed a presidential candidate for the first time in his 45-year career. He said he is getting involved in politics and endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris because of the severity of the threat Trump poses to our nation, and the values he spent so many years fighting to defend. He also noted that it was "not a decision I take lightly, but one I believe necessary." General Ellis says Trump has demonstrated that he is wholly and dangerously unfit for Commander-in-Chief. "He praises and emboldens our enemies that seek to weaken our country. He has denigrated our brave men and women in uniform." Ellis added that if any service member were to ever "act just a bit like" Trump, "then he or she would be immediately removed from the leadership position, admonished, and separated from military service."
