In 1988 General Paul X. Kelly, a retired United States Marine Corps General, made it known that he endorsed candidate George Bush for President of the United States. That simple endorsement broke open the dam, emboldening future generations of retired Generals and Admirals to make their views known during each election cycle. What are the impacts, good or bad, when retired military Generals and Admirals stand on stage to support a candidate for President? What impacts do these endorsements have on the military members still serving? Can or should anything be done about these endorsements? Join Bob Hein and Steve Leonard as they discuss these issues and more on this episode of The Smell of Victory Podcast!
