IMO it's an outright slap in the face of those who have served.
I served eight years while slick willy (and his hag) was CINC, it was the the worst eight years of my SF career. That witch single handedly destroyed the morale of the US military.
Make no mistake, Senator McCain is a democrat and I'm betting he's looking to serve as VP with billery as president in 2008.
SOWF could have cancelled the dinner, or just said no thank you to Senator McCain's request. (I would have cancelled the dinner.)
This is going to hurt SOWF very badly, thanks to the witch from NYC.
Senator Klinton thank you for destroying yet another great institution.

TS...McCain being on the board of directors...you'd think he'd have a say in who might replace him. Ah well. Supposedly hitlary is not receiving money for this speaking engagement.

SOWF says McCain recommended Hillary to replace him, and his staff assisted with getting her.

And SOWF is losing support over this. A lot, and some big supporters.

Email address to SOWF
I just sent them an email, letting them know my opinion on this subject, and suggest everyone on here do the same.

Already did, twice.
They are just sending out form letters.
When you get your reply, I bet that they "just received news of another fallen warrior".

I called instead of the email thing and voiced my discontent.
In the book "Dereliction of Duty" the author a retired Air Force LTC stated that Hillary Clinton did not allow military members to wear their uniforms in the White House.
Now she's on the Senate military sub-committee and giving speeches on behalf of SOWF. Wonder what she's up to?

I suspect she's posturing for a future run.

Doc,
My best friend's husband (Master Sergeant at the time) worked in the White House during the last year of George Bush's presidency and the first two years of the Clinton's. I asked him why he could only wear his uniform on Friday, and I couldn't believe some the things he told me about how the Clintons treated the military. He couldn't wait to get out of there and back to 1st Cav.

Dick Morris was on Fox News last night SLAMMING Hillary. Said he's totally opposed to her being President. Said the plan all along was 8 years for Bill and 8 for Hillary. Claimed that all of the Clinton scandals were caused by her (I think he forgot one of them).
She is dangerous in 2008. We need to get someone ready to beat her.
