Gov. Bill Richardson has no military experience. He has said a deviated septum that caused breathing problems kept him out of the draft during the Vietnam War.
But Richardson has several experienced military men as campaign advisers.
Among them are a trio of retired generals who have been critical of the war in Iraq. These include:
• Retired Army Brig. Gen.
John Johns
, who campaigned with Richardson in New Hampshire last week and previously in Iowa.
The Des Moines Register
said Johns, a counterinsurgency expert who served in Vietnam, had previously backed Republican Sen. John McCain for president but now is supporting Richardson.
• Retired Army Lt. Gen.
Robert Gard
, who has been publicly critical of the Iraq war and has made public appearances with Johns to talk about Iraq.
• Retired four-star Gen.
Volney Warner
, another counterinsurgency expert and Iraq war critic. Warner lost a granddaughter in Afghanistan.
Richardson in news releases has said that retired Army Lt. Gen.
William Odom
— another outspoken war critic — supports his plan to quickly get all troops out of Iraq. However, a Richardson spokesman said Odom is not affiliated with the campaign.
Also advising Richardson is former Assistant Secretary of Defense
Phillip Coyle
— although Coyle also is advising other candidates, Richardson's spokesman said.
