Why did Bill decimate our military? What was he thinking?

Question

If elected, will Hillary continue the devestation?

Answer 1

he did all his great economic surges by gutting the military budget....he went from 15 fighter wings to 4 for one thing...sure he saved a lot of money....barracks that need yearly repair because they were built in the 1950's(82nd Airborne,Ft Bragg) didnt get any repair money for 5 years.....toliets,sinks all broke....oh,he was a great leader and fine budget guy.....stupid as all hell,but great..Regan on the other hand outspent the USSR into bankruptcy trying to keep up with us...now there was a leader

Answer 2

The Clinton's sold us out to get money for the 96 campaign. They have show their disregard for the American people but yet some liberals still think they are good for us. Naturally the favors party leaders owe Bill will help Hillary but lets hope the people will not be fooled into electing her.

Answer 3

While Clinton was President legislation was passed through Congress that changed the contracts our military personnel sign when they enlist/re-enlist (and this applies to officers as well as enlisted in case someone wanted to make that arguement).

They now read, "you must fire on unarmed American civilians if ordered to do so under United Nations authority." Wonder why the Demonrats fail to explain why Clinton sold out American sovereignty to the United Nations?

Answer 4

He wasn't thinking. I wonder if he has trouble sleeping at night.

On another note, based on what we know about China today, I wonder if Bill and Hillary will ever be held accountable for selling our military technolgy to China in return for campaign contributions. Experts claim that it advanced China militarily by 25 to 30 years within just a few months time period.

Answer 5

Bill thought since he was in charge the world will love us and not try anything.
Meanwhile in reality after he tuck tail and ran after Blackhawk down which inspire bin laden to pull 9/11.

Hillary will do the same.

Those are two peas in a pod.

Answer 6

'Decimate' means to destroy 10% of something. He did more than that. During that time, we began to believe that one could solve all problems by launching rockets at people from off shore. And now any conflicts that are more complicated than that anger us American.

Answer 7

During the time that Bill Clinton was doing everything he could short of running to Canada to dodge the draft he wrote a letter in which he said, "I loath the military", referring to the U.S. military.
the simple and accurate answer to your question is that when given the chance we all try to destroy that which we loathe, and this is exactly what Bill Clinton did.

Answer 8

Another repuglican myth, it seems funny to me that Bush in such a short time made our service people the best in the world, good enough to invade Afghanistan and attack Iraq for no reason at all. Bush is a marvel isn't he for being such a wonderful idiot.

Answer 9

good question,one that you could direct at reagan. give examples of the decimated military please. seems we had enough to invade two countries and win. we might fail at the occupation,but that isn't the fault of the military.

edit reagan made military cuts and had a bad sucess rate with troops. beruit 243? killed and he ran. grenada 19 killed over nothing.

Answer 10

What was he thinking? He was thinking, Where is Monica--I need a bj. Hillary was 'acting' president, why do you think she doesn't care that while she ran things, Billy got his bean-snapped? So to answer your second question--yes she did it before, she will do it again.
