What are your thoughts on Hillary as Commander and Chief of the military?

Question

I am having a little trouble with this one. What do you think?

Answer 1

First, it will never happen. To those that think it could not be worse than it is now.
You all have short term memories or to young to remember. Go back to late 70s under the Carter administration.
We had just gotten out of an unpopular war in Viet Nam. The economy was going down. He gutted the military, cut programs, no pay raises. Moral hit all time lows. Equipment had no spare parts, no money or research for new programs and replacement technology. Mission readiness was at all time lows.
We got smart and elected Reagan and returned the US stature in the world.
If you don't think it could get worse, just see what happens if Hilliary gets elected.
"Those that don't remember history are doomed to repeat it."

Answer 2

I do not think one should simply equate the fact she is a women therefore she could not possible understand what a mostly majority male military force has to achieve, go through or do in order to achieve success in peace or war. Not to mention when one talks about combat, it is an all male military. With exception of some accidents or mistakes that put woman in front line combat situations. As far as groundpounders are concerned. I think she will be a bad commander an chief do to her ideology of being mostly a pacifist. Lets not even delve into the fact. That the Democrats as a party have almost always been bad for the military, military R/D research and so on. Not to mention their record as Commander in Chief in the past has not been stellar. With maybe an exception for FDR. So while I feel she might be good on foreign policy, that's about it. What can be said about a Commander an Chief who put her beliefs on what the latest polls says at the time. That votes for a declaration of action. To later recant it because the polls go south. A woman that had a chance to cut the purse strings for what she says is an unjust war. But does not as long as her and her fellow Democrats get their payoffs. So a good Commander and Chief, No! She doesn't even know what she believes. She does not have an exit strategy for Irag. Just talks allot and produces no outcome on anything she promises.
Peace!!! Love!!! Health!!!

Answer 3

Had a democrat been in office when the WTC was attacked, he wouldn't have had the grapefruits to do anything about it.

Did we sit around with our thumbs up our butts when the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbour? No. We locked, loaded, kicked butt and took names.

When are you bleading hearts gonna stop crying about why we went to Iraq. As I recall we chased the Talaban out of the country in three days.

Hillary as Commander in Chief of the military would be the worst thing to happen. For one she was already the president for eight years. Sure Bill had the official title, but her name was on a lot of pieces of legislation. The First Lady NEVER signs legislation. It is not her position. It shows how weak the democratic party really is.

Obama won't get elected either. In fact, the democrats have the weakest group of candidates out there.

Don't put Hillary on a pedistal, her position is cooking, cleaning and pampering Billy Boy to keep him at home.

Like I said in another answer, if she gets elected I'm moving to Canada.

Answer 4

I doubt it-- absolutely everyone has a sequence opinion on her fostered by skill of the republicans. furnish a source on the Clinton remark-- i don't think of he ever suggested he detested the army and don't think of Hilary didn't wish uniforms interior the White abode. they could be there. Marines are on the doorways and so on. on the tip of the day, if Hillary gets elected (which I doubt), they are going to could desire to do their accountability regardless in the event that they believe or not. How can the army believe bush at present? He despatched them to conflict in Iraq on defective intelligence.

Answer 5

It is her attitude towards the military that makes her so dam dangerous. She is totally self serving & opportunistic.

If it is true that Bill had to lie about having sex with Monica to keep that information from Hillary, what does that say about Hillary's ability to read people? A husband with a known history should be easier to read than an unknown politician.

Hillary maybe be a ball bustter, but she's no Golda Mier, or Margeret Thatcher. She preaches entitlements to get her way.

Answer 6

she has no experience as an executive of anything...she is hostile to the military...I personally believe that she would only be good at screwing things up and getting people killed, yes, even more than the current Commander in Chief.

Answer 7

I think you have every right to have trouble with this one. We live in a dangerous world, and we need someone in there that understands this and is prepared to counter act that danger. What the hell would Hillary do, re-activate Madeline Albright, or worse, send slick Willie to confront our adveraries ?

Answer 8

Well business as usual, hillary will have to restart this war for israel somehow. Lies to the public and the military are sure to follow. One thing is for sure, Israel will sleep tight, while U.S. boys let the bullets bite. Nuke israel :)

Answer 9

What makes you think she'd be any worse than the guy in charge now. I know you neocons get hard or wet at the idea of "being tough," so here's an example of a female commander-in-chief for you: Margaret Thatcher, who fought the Falklands war. Whether that was a good idea, is another question, as it was war over a bunch of isolated rocky islands in the middle of nowhere.

Answer 10

Could she be any worse? We are in a devastatingly expensive war, in several countries, costing thousands of human lives, with no end in sight. Even Repubs are admitting Bush's military course is a historic failure.

I may not really love the idea of Hillary in charge of anything, but really, how could it get much worse?
