Full title:

Former SEAL Carl Higbie: ‘If Hillary Clinton Is the Commander-in-chief, Half the Military Is Gonna Get Out’

Friday morning’s guests on Breitbart News Daily included former Navy SEAL Carl Higbie, author of Battle on the Home Front: A Navy SEAL’s Mission to Save the American Dream, and the new book Enemies, Foreign and Domestic: A SEAL’s Story.

SiriusXM host Stephen K. Bannon asked Higbie if the major problem faced by the American military through the Obama years was a shortage of logistics, weapons, and equipment, or “a problem of will, of taking the fight to the enemy, of having the back of those people, like yourself, who are on the tip of the spear.”

“I think the problem is not the men. The problem is not the budgeting. The problem is the direction and allocation of assets,” Higbie replied.

If they didn’t leave under Obama why would they leave under Hillary?

Between what Clinton started and Obama “fine-tuned” moral among the good ones is in the cellar.

I remember a lot of guys got out when Clinton got reelected in 96. Didn't really hear how many hung it up when Obama got reelected.

All the good guys get out and leave the US military in the possession of the fags, transgenders and feminazi’s. We’ll be finished as a nation. Of course, that’s the objective, isn’t it.

What is the normal annual turnover rate for the US military?

Why wait? Obama has already turned the military into a social experiment.

Forgetting that those whom they try to shoot have guns also and can shoot back.

It isn't mismanagement, its a strategy.

You nailed it!

The same thing happened when we left Vietnam. I was told is was cheaper to leave the stuff than bring it back. Never made a whole lot of sense to me, but what did I know?

I don't blame them. I would too! You would NEVER know when Madam Benghazi might abandon you to be slaughtered merely due to political expedience, because she was too drunk, or because she just couldn't give a damn.

Half the secret service would resign as well.

Remember when Hillary decorated a Christmas tree in THE WHITE HOUSE with condoms and sex toys? It was her way of giving the finger to traditional Americans.

Hillary's ONE enemy - her only enemy - is traditional Americans. She'll recreate the military in her image.

If half the military got out - the traditional half - Hillary will replace them with members of the democrat base: trans-genders, lesbians, blacks, illegals, gays, and dependent angry women. The only qualifications will be "do you hate traditional Americans" and 'are you a member of a democrat victim group'.

Not that it would matter - if Hillary's President there won't be much worth protecting.

She will destroy the military...but half won't get out if she becomes CiC. Too many have too many years invested in retirement.

Now...I would say about 10% might leave...maybe a little less....but there will be those...like me...who will bolt as soon as they get their retirement...rather than staying.

Good. The second Confederacy will need a military. If Trump loses, secession is the only recourse the Southern and Plains states have.
