Damn right, she took an oath! That's what we do in the military, (I'm a vet), we take an oath to defend our country with our lives and we take it seriously. Men have sworn, served and died after taking that oath so you can't be surprised when I refuse to support a person who chose not to fufill their oath of office.

Nothing in the oath she took precluded her from stepping down in order to 'save' her family and end the endless salvos of lawsuits. Now I am not a vet so maybe in your way of thinking I have NO 'right' to say what I think. See now I find it abhorrent the nonstop frivolous law suits were filed for the purpose of either bankrupting her and her family or to run her out of the office. Even some battles require an evaluation IF a different or wiser path wins the war.

Personally, while I like her, my concern is whether or not her loyalty to lord McCain has forever tainted her credibility. He is not credible to me and I only voted for his ticket because she was on the ballot.

Consider if, in the military, your unit/ship/base was taking devastating fire not because of the mission or location of the unit/ship/base but for personal attacks of its commander.
And consider if your commander knew that if he or she moved to another unit, that devastating fire would follow them and not continue to fall on your unit/ship/squadron.

Now the personnel of that unit/ship/squadron would not or should not ask their commander to move, especially if they took those attacks personally or that any attack on one of their own is an attack on all of them.

And that commander's superior officers should not move that commander because that would be a sign of weakness.

But consider if that commander himself or herself decided to move to a location where they could more effectively deal with the attacks themselves rather than put their troops, sailors or aircrews in harms way. They would then draw fire away from that unit/ship/base. Would that not be a good move?
