Hillary's War Story Bogus, Female Vet Says

With the possible exception of Rep. Anthony Weiner, D-NY, Bill Clinton's boast last week that he was ready to grab a rifle, get in a ditch and fight and die for Israel left most folks convulsed in laughter.

Until now, however, Hillary Clinton's equally implausible 1994 claim that she tried to join the Marines 19 years earlier has gone largely unchallenged.

But over the weekend a female U.S. Air Force veteran contacted NewsMax to explain why she believes Sen. Clinton simply made the whole thing up.

Among the most suspect details from Hillary's account, our source says, was her claim that a Marine recruiter turned her away because of poor eyesight.

"The only (military) jobs that required perfect or near-perfect eyesight were flying jobs or those dealing with intricate electronic maintenance or radar," she said, adding that most other jobs required "only that eyesight be corrected to 20/20, with glasses or contacts."

What about the former first lady's contention that she was rejected at the tender age of 27 because she was too old for the Corps?

That's probably bogus as well.

"The age limit for officers in 1975 was 35. Now it's age 49 maximum," the vet explained. "Hillary's then-27 years of age would not have mattered. If indeed she was then a lawyer and age 27, she would have been greeted with open arms, and would have been commissioned an officer."

What about Mrs. Clinton's sex? Wouldn't that have been a barrier way back in the unliberated 70's.

On the contrary, says our vet.

"I myself joined the USAF in 1974 as an aircraft mechanic," she explained. "They were pushing hard to enlist women into traditionally male jobs because they were trying to redefine the military for both sexes. The Marines would have jumped at the chance to recruit a female lawyer."

Meanwhile, the response to Hillary's husband's "fight and die for Israel" pledge continues to pour in.

We thought Monica Crowley's remarks on Fox News Channel's "FoxWire" Sunday night best captured the general reaction:

"Clinton isn't headed into any ditches with any guns to defend Israel. If he can't plug in his blow-dryer, he ain't going."

Can it be? Are the people and the media finally waking up to the fraudulent Xlintons?

[Oldeconomybuyer]

Most folks outside the Washington beltway and the state of New York know Hillery is full of dung.

[mewzilla]

Liar, liar, pantsuit on fire.

[FreedomPoster]

Liar, liar, crusty pantsuit on fire.

LOL at your original!

[TomGuy]

An untruth? Nawww...not from the lady who was named in honor of Sir Edmund Hillary's great feat (before he ever accomplished it). No, not her....

Dang, its difficult to calculate which is the bigger liar: Hillary....Bill....or ... Al.

Hillary's war cry:

"I'm Hillary. I've got hot flashes and a rifle!!! I'll kill you all, if you make fun of my 'saddle bag' hips!!!"

Ya gotta admit; that sounds pretty scary!!

[PGalt]

LOL!!!

[mewzilla]

Thank you verrah much :) But I can't take credit, more's the pity. Another FReeper coined the phrase long before I used it.

[Wondervixen]

I think they'd love to go on giving them a free pass, but with all the credibility under the bridge from BOTH of them the past eight years, a lie anymore just goes onto the hillarity stockpile and starts onto the downside toward the gutwrenching "When will they ever stop?" heap.

Ride that horse as a Clintonista long enough and eventually YOUR credibility is shot to hell (though we know, to the Clymer's of the world, why should it matter?)

"Clinton isn't headed into any ditches with any guns to defend Israel. If he can't plug in his blow-dryer, he ain't going."

As a Freeper posted here his "OWN" country was attacked and is at war
How come he isn't grabbing a rifle to defend the USA
Marines looking for a few good men

[uncbob]

not from the lady who was named in honor of Sir Edmund Hillary's great feat (before he ever accomplished it).

If this had been Nancy Reagan or Barbara Bush it would have been ALL OVER the nightly news ad nauseam

If it wasn't for the internet and talk radio nobody would even know about it

[small voice in the wilderness]

She had a slight hearing problem at the time. She thought the Marines commercial said The shrew. The loud. The mundane. Once she saw it in print, she graciously backed out.

[cibco]

"Marines looking for a few good men."

Good men... Clinton isn't a man and isn't even close to good.

Hillary's War Story Bogus, Female Vet Says...........

The difference between Hillary's war story and true accounts is that Hillary's begins with "Once Upon a Time"

PS The only Blow Drier Clinton is intrested in plugging in is Monica.

You are correct. Unfortunatley, the NYT, LA Times, and the Washington Post all fawn over the Xlintons, even after Whitewater,travelgate,filegate,monicagate,pardongate,and a personal favorite," Ill take a gun and fight for Israel!". Even after this creature avoided duty in Viet Nam! I will never understand the fascination that America has with the criminal Clintons.

ping!

(Don't forget: Hillary was named after Sir Edmund Hillary. Yeah.)

[esopman]

Precisely.

Your comment about the Brit who took the picture of Tenzing Norgay at the top of Everest indicates that you are very well informed about Hillary Regina.

Unfortunately, Freepers are out of the mainstream in this respect. Most of the electorate is clueless as to her true nature...such information as this from NewsMax will never appear in the NYT, even back page, below the fold.

I fear the Goebbels blizzard is about to start: a 'white out' of propaganda in support of HR's next move up the ladder. Sigh.
