Meet Donald Trump's 88 military advisers

Donald Trump said Wednesday at a town hall forum hosted by NBC News that he will rely on a set of 88 admirals and generals to be prepared to make decisions as commander-in-chief.

"We have admirals, we have generals. We have colonels," Trump said. "We have a lot of people that I respect. And I think I’ve learned a lot."
