88 Retired Military Leaders Endorse Donald Trump
------------------------------------------------

In news from the campaign trail, Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton will
both speak at a public forum on national security this evening. This
comes as Donald Trump's campaign has released a list of 88 retired
military leaders who have endorsed Trump. The list includes Army Lt.
Gen. William Boykin, the right-wing leader of the anti-LGBTQ group the
Family Research Council. He served as undersecretary of defense for
intelligence under the George W. Bush administration. He's described the
U.S. war on terror as a "spiritual battle" between a "Christian nation"
and Satan-rhetoric that sparked widespread outrage and a rebuke from
President George W. Bush.
