I don't think who is CIC matters much. They couldn't meet recruitment goals in the Clinton years and aren't even coming close to meeting those goals now. Kids now want to go to college and then find a job. They sure as hell don't want to put theirselves in harm's way. The CIC doesn't matter for recruiting as few kids can even name the VP, much less the president

IMHO the CIC matters. 'nuff said here.

You are wrong!! The military does care who the CIC is. They know that he is their boss. Clinton weakened the military with "don't ask, don't tell", making officers serve tidbits to people that said that they hated the military,not to mention the head guy refusing to serve and putting in writing how much he hated the military. Now tell me that it does not make a difference. The military wants someone in charge that they can trust and respect.

Who the CIC was mattered when I was in.
We thoroughly hated Clinton, wished he'd eat bad fugu or something.
Pun intended.
