Saw that, do not believe it in any way, other than she wants people to THINK that she supports the military.

I think I would rather clean latrines for a year with my only toothbrush rather than salute that bitch one time.

How long has it been since anyone cleaned a latrine with a toothbrush?

How I wish the Army had kept those old latrines with have a dozen sinks, exposed copper pipes, trough urinals, open crappers, etc......

There was lots to clean and polish!

Almost as good as digging a foxhole under a barracks or 20 laps in the low crawl pit.

All this from the woman who as Last Lady would not allow military officers to wear their uniforms in the White House.... oxymoron alert, dichotomy alert, let's switch sides again alert - why don't people keep track of what she's said, versus what she's done, versus what she says when she changes her mind or meets a new group of 'constiuents'?

I hate to tell you, but the 1943 splinter barracks are alive and in use on Ft Bragg.

The gang toilets are now walled off, but the gang urinals are still common, as is the single, six-headed shower stall.

Most of the 18Xs stayed in them during SOPC. Training Group was back in them for a while, and IIRC, some battalions of Training Group are still in them.

And they are conveniently located right off the end of the Pope AFB runway, in case you needed flight information.

This is the same witch that called "ALL" the "contractors" mercenaries.

I'm not a contractor but I know the difference between a retired "patriot" that sill wants to help in the effort and someone that will kill anyone for money.

hillary clinton, in my opinion is the most vile and the worst sort of scum this country ever produced. I would not piss on her if she was on fire.

Like The Reaper, I'd rather go to jail than to ever salute that two faced witch.

I don't think she's trying to fool herself; she’s just trying to fool people with short memories. She is a two faced lying bitch that’s as useless as tits on a fat man IMHO, but unfortunately she's smart and she’s trying hard to fool as many as she can. I'm just hoping the masses see through her and her bull, and cast their votes for a better choice.

I posted this, some time ago. You neen't read it through unless you want to, I've extracted the pertinent info.


http://www.professionalsoldiers.com/...ead.php?t=2655


"We were given a behind the scenes tour of the WH, normal tours shut down for 4 days a year while the Christmas decorations are put up. We were allowed to go just about anywhere we wanted, and were provided with a Secret Service Agent (presidential detail) as our guide, I was excited as I presumed that I would be seeing people in uniform. Every time we turned a corner I was disappointed, there were NO UNIFORMS, only suits. I did not see one individual in military uniform in the WH, that REALLY F-ING PISSSED me off. I was grumping pretty loudly about it when our SS agent took me aside and asked me if I was trying to get him in trouble, my response “No of course not, but don’t these f-ing people realize how we got a WH in the first place”, that people in ragtag uniforms fought and died in order for us to have this place”. He informed me that the rule is, “If you are in the military, and assigned to the WH, you are ALLOWED to wear your uniform 1 day per week, but they would prefer that you didn’t”. I found out later that it wasn’t Bill, but in fact Hillary who didn’t want to see military uniforms. That really pissed me off, and still f-ing does."

In the Senate, Mrs. Clinton has supported expanding medical benefits for National Guard members and reservists and providing aid to those with traumatic brain injury and post-traumatic stress disorder. She has also defied liberals in her own party at times, endorsing the expansion of the Army, supporting financing for missile defense, and refusing to support a total ban on land mines.
This whole article is BS. This type of writing seems to be the norm and has ruined the credibility of legitimate journalist. All Senators including Democrats support their States reserve and NG. Every Senator has supported some kind of military program during their term, usually the ones that benefit their State.
"Endorsing the expansion of the Army" specifics please! If the land mine quot is true. True in the sense that she actually voted on something. I'm sure a little investigating will turn up a positive connection.
Did you notice every quot that showed a negative opinion to wards her wasn't backed up by a name. But every positive opinion had a name.
Maybe because it not a good idea/against regulations for any Armed service member to bad mouth Senators, congressman and Presidents. Hell you can't bad mouth Fags today. They actually found a retired Major, WOW!. Couldn't find anyone else I guess.

I wonder if anyone will bring this up publicly with her and ask if she still feels the same way since shes so "pro military" all of a sudden?

Throwing the BS flag

Sorry, it's bull. She doesn't give a crap about the military, just our votes. Endorsing an expansion of the Army? Her freakin' husband was the one to cut the military back!
