I&#8217;m not a single-issue voter, but, honestly, if I care about National Security and the way the troops and veterans get treated by the government that we all faithfully served, a vote for Hillary Clinton would reflect that I don&#8217;t care about national security, or the troops,  or veterans.<\/p>\n<p>Her husband balanced the year-over-year budget on the backs of veterans and national security. He drew down the force to dangerous levels without backing off from their deployments. There was money for &#8220;meals on wheels&#8221; missions, but nothing for training to fight our nation&#8217;s enemies. He tossed elderly vets off of Tricare and threw them on to Medicare to save a buck. Obama has done a good job of that already, she doesn&#8217;t have much room to move in that endeavor, but she still can screw vets.<\/p>\n<p>Hillary has no respect for veterans &#8211; remember her story about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/news\/fact-checker\/wp\/2015\/11\/12\/hillary-clintons-claim-that-she-tried-to-join-the-marines\/\">trying to join the Marine Corps<\/a>? She comes off as being a patriot trying to serve her country and some nebulous Marine Corps recruiter comes off as a sexist jerk. You and I both know that the story was a self-serving lie. She wouldn&#8217;t have put on a uniform with a gun to her head during the mid-70s.<\/p>\n<p>Then there was the story about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/news\/fact-checker\/wp\/2016\/05\/23\/recalling-hillary-clintons-claim-of-landing-under-sniper-fire-in-bosnia\/\">the sniper fire at an airport in Bosnia<\/a>. You know, like it was nothing to her, another day at her dangerous job for the American people.  If she had ever dodged sniper fire, there would have been a long list of aids and confidants who would have been fired for the incident. And some poor Joe would have had to carry the sow to cover, she could never move those fat ankles fast enough to dodge sniper fire. And what self-respecting sniper could miss a target that prominent, anyway?<\/p>\n<p>And then there was Benghazi &#8211; she hung good Americans out to die and suffer, while she told Americans that our Constitution was at fault for allowing a video to be made that angered Muslims. All the while, the CIA was running guns out of her embassy. She created the circumstances, but didn&#8217;t have the gumption to own up to it or protect or rescue the people who were working at her direction. It was easier to lie than to do the right thing &#8212; like it always is in life.<\/p>\n<p>Things are horrible for veterans, but they won&#8217;t get better with Clinton as President. Will Trump do better? I don&#8217;t know, but I know he can&#8217;t do worse. At this point, all I can concern myself with is having a measure of influence in Congress that will negate any damage that the Executive can accomplish. The Congressional GOP didn&#8217;t want to do anything that would get them called &#8220;racist&#8221; so Obama had a free hand with them &#8211; I expect the same thing when they face Hillary. The little marshmallows. There won&#8217;t be anything politically correct involved if they oppose Trump in any way.<\/p>\n<p>Like I said, I&#8217;m not sure what I&#8217;m going to do on Election Day, but, no one who cares about the troops or cares about veterans can, in good conscience, pull the lever for Hillary Clinton.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I just finished watching &#8220;13 Hours&#8221; for the hundredth time, so this post reflects the feelings &hellip; <a title=\"#NeverHillary\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=67198\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">#NeverHillary<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[47,5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-67198","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-liberals-suck","category-politics"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/67198","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=67198"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/67198\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=67198"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=67198"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=67198"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
