Nearly 500 national security experts – both civilians and former senior uniformed officers — have endorsed Joe Biden for president, saying the “current president” is not up to “the enormous responsibilities of his office.”

Addressed to “Our Fellow Citizens,” the 489 national security experts include 22 four-star officers. The letter never mentions President Trump by name.

Among those signing the letter is retired Air Force Gen. Paul Selva, who stepped down last year as vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs, the Pentagon’s No. 2 officer. Selva could not be immediately reached for comment.
