Overview: This is a story of big-city behind-the-scenes politics — of scratch-my-back and I’ll-scratch-yours backroom dealings.

He may speak a bit differently than the 28 flag officers who have endorsed Hillary Clinton. The Osama part is over the top, but he gets it about readiness, just like the 28 flag officers. This Gulf veteran knows who should be Commander in Chief:
