(CNN) Joe Biden's presidential campaign will remove the image of a retired Army general from an ad after the general objected to his inclusion. Retired Lt. Gen. Sean MacFarland, who once led the military campaign against ISIS, was featured in a Biden campaign advertisement that showed him walking alongside the former vice president during a visit to Iraq in 2016. "Much to my surprise, I have been featured more than once in VP Joe Biden's political ad campaign," MacFarland wrote in a post on LinkedIn"A number of people have understandably inferred that my appearance constitutes an endorsement of the former Vice President. It does not," he added, saying, "To be clear, I have not endorsed President Trump, either. I object to the use of ANY military personnel in uniform in political ads - full stop."
