To the Editor:

Last week, Military Times and the Institute for Veterans and Military Families released another presidential poll among active-duty personnel, conducted Oct. 12-14. Gary Johnson received 27 percent.

With tensions running high between the world powers, it makes sense to me to consider that Weld and Johnson are experienced in governorship. Their platform is one of trade and peace-building. Out of the options on our ticket I trust them the most to avoid bloodshed in the coming years.

The President must be able to work with other nations leaders as well as congress. Does anyone really believe that Clinton or Trump will be successful at either?

I would like to see some coverage on the other candidates on the ballot. Is this not what the media is supposed to do?

I believe that Johnson and Weld's economic, tax and foreign policies would strengthen us and help us right this ship and put us in a much better spot down the road.
