I Was A Woman In The Marine Corps In the Mid-70s. Hillary Clinton’s Story Doesn’t Add Up
townhall.com ^ | 11/30/2015 | Susan Hutchison

When I graduated from college, I decided to serve too. I was first recruited for the Marine Corps in the fall of 1975, right when Hillary Clinton claims to have wanted to join the Marines. I began Officer Candidate School with Company C in Quantico, Virginia the next year. It was the first female class required to do everything that men did, which led to being featured on the cover of Life Magazine. Although a medical issue kept me from completing my training and becoming a Marine officer, my experience doesn’t jibe with the yarn which Hillary Clinton has been selling for years on the campaign trail and is now the subject of renewed scrutiny.

Despite medical issue keeping her from completing her training, Ms. Hutchinson did at least get in. Hildebeast knows she never actually tried but that doesn't matter. Lying is what she's really good at. I seem to remember our heroic lyin' king (p)resident saying once that he considered joining the military but by the time he was old enough(78-79?), VN was over so there really wasn't much point. Yup, a real tough guy.

Trump gets raked over the coals for "thousands of Muslims celebrating 9/11".

Nobody asks Hillary about this, which is so obviously a lie.

If there’s one thing I cannot stand, it’s the “I almost joined, but ________________.” excuse. So what, you deserve an Almost Hero award?

LOL! EVERYBODY gets a trophy. My dad swore me in in 1967 since he was an O-6 and had the authority to do it. Kinda cool to salute your dad. Hell, I already said yes sir and no sir. A lot less no sirs.

Bill and Hillary were part of the anti-war movement and if she went to the Marine recruiting office at all, it was to cause trouble.

I'll relay another anecdote that reinforces the fact that Hillary is a liar. I enlisted in the USAF in 1977, and at the AFEES station where I conducted my in-processing, the ugly girls were joining the Air Force, the OK girls were joining the Army, the good looking girls were joining the Navy, and to a person the drop-dead gorgeous women were joining the Marine Corps.

Her Thighness would never meet standard.

RECRUITER: "...you"re too old, you can"t see, and you"re a woman."

HILLARY: "Can I get a second opinion?"

RECRUITER: "Yeah, your ugly too."

Lying is what she's really good at.

She just says s*** that pops into her head. With the years of alcohol abuse and age, it's getting more bizarre. Next thing you know she'll be accusing the Secret Service of stealing her World's Fair Spoon she uses to stir her drinks.

Hillary lies when she opens her mouth. Everyone knows it. Half of Americans will still vote for her. Why debunk her every utterance?

I agree. It is their way of saying, “I could have done what you did, but I didn’t.”

Just wait until she’s president and the White House strawberries go missing.

My God, no daiquiris? Heads will roll!

(Yes, I get the movie reference, but with The Mad Queen, missing strawberries is a more heinous crime.)

The fact that Hillary had a law degree proves that the Marines did not turn her away. No way would they have done that.

When most woman are preparing their wedding which was October 1975, Hillary was talking to Marines wanting to join? Doesn’t small the BS test at all. I don’t know of a single woman who a year out isn’t up to their nose in wedding stuff. Was it before or after the cake tasting that she ran to the recruiter office?
