With the Obama Administration nearing its end and a transition of power soon approaching, First Lady Michelle Obama says veterans must remain a top priority for the next president of the United States and that he or she shouldn't "pop off" about going to war.

The withdrawal of overseas troops and ending of the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq was a top campaign promise made by her husband, President Barack Obama, when he ran for president in 2008, and then again in 2012.

Something that the current occupant of the White House does not seem to be doing a very good job at.

This is rich coming from Michelle. As I recall her and Jill Biden were making that their project.
Also it is clear which of the candidates that are running for President now supports the military and it is not Clinton.
