Her Marine lie claimed that she was turned down for being female. Age wasn’t part of the story.
From the Daily Caller fact check:
The Washington Posts fact-checker, Glenn Kessler, gave Hillary Clinton two Pinocchios a rating given for significant omissions and exaggerations for an old story she repeated this week about the time she says she applied to the Marines in 1975.
Hillary Diane Rodham was a rising legal star at the time and would soon marry future President Bill Clinton when she claims she went to a Marine recruiting office in Arkansas to sign up for the Corps.
But a young recruiter rejected the 26-year-old, telling her that she was too old, but that the Army might take her.
He looks at me and he goes, Um, how old are you? And I said Well, Im 26, Im going to be 27. And he goes, Well, thats kind of old for us,’ the recruiter told her, she said Tuesday.
