The USA Today reports that “Donald Trump got the backing of 88 retired U.S. generals and admirals Tuesday.”

“’It is a great honor to have such amazing support from so many distinguished retired military leaders,’ Trump said in a statement. ‘Keeping our nation safe and leading our armed forces is the most important responsibility of the presidency.’”

“The list of admirals and generals who signed the letter includes four 4-star and 14 3-star flag officers.”
