Former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and North Carolina native Gen. Hugh Shelton is among 19 retired military officers pledging support to Hillary Clinton.
Shelton made headlines in 2004 for his decision not to support then Democratic presidential nominee Gen. Wesley Clark. Clark did not win the nomination, but joins Shelton on the list of Clinton supporters.
In a press release, the officers repeat Clinton's phrase "who can be Commander-in-Chief on day one," and cite her experience on the Senate Armed Services Committee as reason for their support.
