Great point Lisa!
That would be ironic!

It would be difficult but not insurmountable. A lot of the don't ask, don't tell types would seize on the opportunity. The military is generally a group of over-achievers that want to do something for their country despite who leads it. This was evident in the days of LBJ. We had the draft, but we also had a high rate of volunteer enlistment, and this was during a very unpopular war, and most of the service members couldn't stand LBJ. Hillary is polarizing, she would make a terrible CIC but the military would use that as a recruiting aid, in that they would present the fact that more than anytime in History we need a strong military.

If you will recall, the US Military suffered enormous loss of morale during the reign of Slick Willy. Talented officers and NCO left the service in droves.
I can only presume that a Hillary victory would incur similar devastation.

While only First Lady she created many problems for the Armed Services and those acts have not been forgotten.
If satan has his way and Hillary wins, we can only hope that the spirits of patriotism and American tradition hold a stronger grip than the fear of Clinton's PC dismantlement of our forces.

I suspect that there will be a near mutiny in the ranks if Mrs. Clinton becomes President. She will not be an inspiration.

Man, you got that right. I was in the AF during much of the Clinton presidency and the disdain they had for the military was palpable. And she was as notorious for disrespecting us as he was.

Wouldn't it be great if we didn't need all this military?
