I was disappointed too... I wanted a fighter.... not some almost crying Hillary story about flying into Iraq blacked out...
Where have the blustering and fightin' words from the GOP gotten us ever since Ronald Reagan? Nowhere, because they have consistently underestimated the evil anti-Americanism of the Dem party. Even Trump's genius was marred by his obstreperousness -- I so wished he would just put the knife in and shut up about it, drawing less fire, and let the cumulative effect speak for itself.
Secondly, most Hillary stories, and especially Hillary's story about dodging bullets flying into a war zone, is a pack of lies. By contrast, Sarah's story was truthful. Many on FR posted at the time multiple photos and videos of the troops who, without preparation, responded with overwhelming joy when the presidential group arrived in complete secrecy and surprised them.
