Hillary's Military Support

Former President Bill Clinton gave a speech in the Panhandle of Florida last night, where he spoke about his wife's strength with military voters and her ability to rebuild a depleted military. Though he was speaking in an area heavily populated with active military and veterans, about 85 people actually attended the event. Click here for other articles.

Clinton credits his wife's supposed gaining of support among the military to her cold and unwanting seat on the Senate Armed Services Committee. I personally don't know anyone in the military who would vote for Hillary Clinton, even if they didn't like the other choices, they would not vote for her. That's not to say that there aren't people in the military who won't vote for her, there are a few bad apples on every tree. But many of these will be the type of people who flee to Canada to avoid deployment, those who joined because they thought it would be easy and that there wouldn't be any chance of a war. The same people without honor, discipline, courage and integrity.

Slick Willy also said that military voters should be concerned about how the next president goes about rebuilding a depleted military, and that Hillary was the best man for that job. The military is not depleting, most enlistment goals are being met or exceeded. That is not to mention the great number of people re-enlisting. Click here for details.

One great quality about most of the people I have met in the military is their sense of duty, and personal responsibility. They take care of themselves and what is theirs. Why would people with these values vote for someone who supports irresponsibility and is actually planning on funding it throughout our country? Then there is the woman factor (if that is what we are calling her), but that is another post, another day.
