Hillary Clinton and a Strong Military
If you wait long enough, you will see everything. Like Hillary campaigning for a strong military. Who’d a thunk it? I don’t know whether to laugh or cry.
From the Wall Street Journal:
FAYETTEVILLE, N.C. — Sen. Hillary Clinton is widely expected to lose North Carolina’s Democratic presidential primary on May 6, but that isn’t stopping her campaign from spending millions of dollars on advertising and holding rallies in dozens of communities throughout the state.
and this:
“This has to be an election when voters actually hear specific solutions,” Sen. Clinton said at a “Solutions for a Strong Military” event at Methodist University in Fayetteville, near the Fort Bragg Army base. “We cannot have a leap of faith or a lot of guesswork in this election.”

Maybe you are reading the headline wrong. “Solutions for a Strong Military” could imply things that need to be done to get rid of or solve the “problem” of having a strong military.

I’m telling you, Hillary is the strongest conservative left, better get on board.

The operative phrase is “strong military”. Once they have served, America’s soldiers are often cut loose and set adrift, fending for themselves. It is now common for soldiers to be discharged with what are termed preexisting conditions, like personality disorders, which deny them care even if they in fact have been grievously injured or have suffered crippling mental disorders.
This administration has done a good job of limiting the number of soldiers and the number of families affected by one of the worst crimes ever perpetrated on this country.
Think about it–how often do we see veterans of this conflict out in public with limbs missing or with debilitating, disfiguring wounds, or with mental disorders such that they often have no idea what is going on around them? They have been failed.

To clarify, they have limited the soldiers’ and families’ exposures by recycling huge numbers of the same recruits through repeated deployments and stop-loss maneuvers while substantial numbers of young, fit individuals stay back on the homefront waving the flag, wearing Chinese-made lapel pins and car decals, and running support-the-troops cable TV morning chat shows or a variety of blogs, some of the porcine persuasion.

So what’s your point?
