McChrystal backs Harris for president in New York Times op-ed
Retired Gen. Stanley McChrystal announced in an op-ed published Thursday that he would be endorsing Vice President Harris for president, saying “I have cast my vote for character.”
“Ms. Harris has the strength, the temperament and, importantly, the values to serve as commander in chief,” he wrote in The New York Times. “When she sits down with world leaders like President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine, representing the United States on the global stage, I have no doubt that she is working in our national interest, not her own.”
McChrystal, who did not mention former President Trump’s name in his op-ed, noted that he tends to hold centrist positions on issues and “was not comfortable” with the policies that Democrats and Republicans advocated for during their respective conventions.
Still, he said, “although I have opinions on high-profile issues, like abortion, gun safety and immigration, that’s not why I made my decision.”
“Our president,” McChrystal suggested, “must be more than a policymaker or a malleable reflection of the public’s passions. She or he must lead — and that takes character.”
“I’ve thought deeply about my choice and considered what I’ve seen and heard and what I owe my three granddaughters,” he explained. “I’ve concluded that it isn’t political slogans or cultural tribalism; it is the best president my vote might help select. So I have cast my vote for character, and that vote is for Vice President Kamala Harris.”
McChrystal has criticized the former president in the past. During an interview in 2018, he said he would turn down an offer to join the Trump administration and said, “I don’t think he tells the truth.” He also said he believed Trump was immoral.
The GOP nominee lashed out at the retired general several days after the interview, writing in a post on the social platform now known as X, “‘General’ McChrystal got fired like a dog by Obama. Last assignment a total bust. Known for big, dumb mouth. Hillary lover!”
Ten retired top military officials have backed Harris over Trump in the presidential race, as have hundreds of top national security officials.

9 out of 10 Operators Agree: "The Pope" is the Right Man for the Job
One of the most experienced Afghanistan hands I know had this to say about General McChrystal in an email to me yesterday:
All the heavy breathing about him being A Killer Man and not right for COIN is way, way off base.
"Dalton Fury" the nom de plume of an old Delta commander (and the brother of one of America's most legendary warriors, if I am correct) had much more enthusiastic words for McChrystal. Gang, this piece on Small Wars Journal is the only must-read profile to have been written about General McChrystal since his nomination. It's worth about eight times what those features in the Post and Times are worth. Read this, because this is the no-%$#@ Inside Baseball stuff. (In fact, I am a little surprised anyone is allowed to write about this stuff. One of the reasons I have never written about my time in Iraq, for example, was because of the kind of op-sec stuff talked about here.)
I served as a staff officer under McChrystal in the late 90’s before leaving for 1st SFOD-D. My Ranger peers and I had a unique opportunity to see the good and the bad in the 1976 West Point graduate. I think if McChrystal were wounded on the battlefield, he would bleed red, black, and white – the official colors of the 75th Ranger Regiment. He is 110% US Army Ranger, rising to become the 10th Regimental Commander in the late 90’s, and still sports the physique to prove it. Even with a bum back and likely deteriorating knees after a career of road marching and jumping out of planes he doesn’t recognize the human pause button. Maybe by now this is a good thing as the junior officers of today might be able to keep pace with the General.
As the Ranger Regimental commander, McChrystal was considered a Tier II subordinate commander under the Joint Special Operations functioning command structure. The highest level, Tier I, was reserved exclusively for Delta Force and Seal Team 6. This always seemed to bother McChrystal. His nature isn’t to be second fiddle to anyone, nor for his Rangers to be considered second class citizens to the Tier 1 Special Mission Units.
Terms like “kit”, often used by Delta and Seal Team 6 operators to collectively describe the gear, weapons, and equipment an assaulter carries was banned from the Ranger lexicon. The term “assaulter” or “operator” was also verboten speak within the Regiment. The men wearing the red, black, and white scroll were Rangers, not assaulters and not operators. They also didn’t carry kit. They carried standard military issue equipment.
McChrystal also deplored the idea that the Regiment served as an unofficial farm team for Delta Force, or even the US Army Special Forces Green Berets. In his eyes, the Rangers were just as skilled in their primary mission of Airfield Seizures and Raids as Delta was in land based Hostage Rescue or the SEALs were in assaulting a ship underway. All things being equal, McChrystal was right. The Rangers were, and still are, just as skilled in their Mission Essential Tasks as are the Tier I units in theirs. He believed that losing quality officers and non-commissioned officers to what many considered the true tip of the spear outfits – those granted the most funding, most authority, and given the premiere targets - hurt the Regiment.
Even just a Google search will bring up “The Pope” is Stanley ‘DARPA’ McChrystal
The trouble with appointing Stanley McChrystal to run the Af-Pak war was always his temperament and his history. He is a driven man, strong-headed, amazingly disciplined, extremely able in a limited fashion - and clearly unused to compromise or getting along with people as powerful as he is. Diplomat he is not. As head of JSOC, moreover, he has always regarded himself as above political management, running a part of the military that seems at times to answer to no-one, and that, under Bush and Cheney was unleashed to do whatever it wanted, including, of course, brutal torture in the field, condoned from the very top.

General Stanley McChrystal was known as the Pope.
During the 1993 siege on the Branch Davidian compound in Waco, Texas, JSOC provided equipment and trainers to federal forces. (JSOC did not participate in the raid.) At the time, Attorney General Janet Reno complained that getting information out of JSOC was like trying to pry loose the Vatican's secrets. Some jokingly called the commander of JSOC "the Pope," but it wasn't until Stanley McChrystal took charge in 2003 that the name stuck. In many ways a warrior-monk, he was known for relentless schedules, minimal sleep, intense physical fitness, and eating only a single meal a day. When he left JSOC, he took the papacy with him.
