Hillary's Military Experience?

And Bush went awol when he was in the military...

That is why the president needs to be surrounded by the best military & economic people we have, the more the better.

More views to every issue, & she would do just that. THAT is what I WANT a president to do. Not pretend to know everything, but ask all the advisors she can do help make things better.

The quote below is a description of the committee's jurisdiction from their website. Any bill that the Senate intends to consider (including budget bills) that includes provisions that fall under that jurisdiction would first be considered by the full Armed Services Committee, which would then either recommend or vote down the bill (the committe may also propose or add amendments). In addition, the committee would have oversight over these types of activities conducted by the federal government, so they would hold hearings on these matters (including closed-door, secure hearings) in which they would be briefed on and ask questions about policy relating to matters under their jurisdiction. They may also originate legislation relating to these issues.

"Aeronautical and space activities peculiar to or primarily associated with the development of weapons systems or military operations; the common defense; the Department of Defense, the Department of the Army, the Department of the Navy, and the Department of the Air Force, generally; maintenance and operation of the Panama Canal, including administration, sanitation, and government of the Canal Zone; military research and development; national security aspects of nuclear energy; naval petroleum reserves, except those in Alaska; pay, promotion, retirement, and other benefits and privileges of members of the Armed Forces, including overseas education of civilian and military dependents; selective service system; and strategic and critical materials necessary for the common defense.

Comprehensive study and review of matters relating to the common defense policy of the United States."

BY THE WAY - anyone who actually believes that Hillary tried to ban military uniforms in the White House is simply a complete sucker. That's like committing political suicide in this country - you don't hate the military. Its a lie, spread by conservative talk show hosts, and its been denied and disproven time and time again.

Since Bush's claim to fame is his entrenched declaration that because we are at war he is the commander in chief and so he has assumed the self-anointed role as our dictator, it leaves the Department of Defense, such as the Senate Armed Forces Committee, left with not a whole lot of power. Basically they serve as an oversight committee on appropriating money to the military for operations like war, like with Iraq. Since Clinton is on that committee, she could have halted funding for that war, but she hasn't, even though the majority of American's want the funding to stop. So, on just that account, she is basically a traitor to her country and her constituents. So, don't vote for her, because she has no plans to stop it.

She's under the control of the same people that control Bush, the Illuminati Rothschilds of England who want to destroy our country because we are a democracy which they detest and are only using us to fight their wars for a global takeover. If they aren't able to accomplish that, they'll resort to a nuclear World War III to depopulate the planet and get rid of countries like ours, Russia, China and all the industrialized nations.

Considering the rumors (and they seem to be true) about Military not being permitted to wear their Uniforms in the Clinton White House.....I would say she should have nothing to do with anything remotely military.

Update: Look fools, When Clinton was in the white house it didn't matter that he was a draft dodger, Then all of a sudden it was important that bush was "hiding in the air guard" Now its not important that a military nothing wants to be in the white house. So only a Democrat needs no military experience...What a load of Bull.

if your trying to figure our if she will support them

McCain would be a better choice,

but Clinton is still a better choice than Obama for Military issues

i work at the American Embassy in Iraq, it is common for Military not to Wear uniform while doing official duties for the Department of State and Presidential Details,

it is to throw every on on a equal playing Field,

instead of reading from a book of quotes they maybe or maybe not be true, people need to find out the full detail of a situation before that past judgment ,

Plus the Secret service is not allowed to Discuss anything about a President or their Family, so take books of quotes with a grain of salt

Military experience only matters when a Democrat with active duty experience is running against a Republican without active duty experience or with only reserve/NG experience. Otherwise it's not an issue.

hmmm like when she voted No:

Vote to pass an amendment to reaffirm support for all men and women of the United States Armed Forces, to strongly condemn any attacks on General David Petraeus and all members of the US Armed Forces and to specifically condemn Moveon.org's advertisement about General David Petraeus.

Can't wait for how she supports our troops, as this was nothing more then a freebie show of support vote.

So we know she don't support them, I will assume she is on the committee for the purpose of helping to prevent congress from supporting our troops.

Is that like Kerry being on the Senate Intelligence committees and the Foreign relations Committee, in the 04 election??

But still blaming the president for "lieing' when he had the same intelligence info available to him.

Did you know that the Secretary of Defense is a civilian? and so is the Commander in Chief? It's supposed to be that way, so the military doesn't take over the country.

Comrade Cliton's position on the Armed Forces Committee simply means she has a say over the military budget. She accepts "contributions" from defense contractors to help her decide which, if any, weapons American taxpayers will buy for our defense. She has absolutely no knowledge of anything military except when she and her impeached husband were using military officers as waiters for White House coffees.

I found out that hillary did pass a bill to help wounded soldiers, but I don't think that she has any knowledge of actual military life.
