I was out of the Air Force when Clinton was installed. He was a disaster for the military and healthcare. One of friends was a Navy Commander. He was torn up having to rif some fine officers and enlisted.
I knew I wasn’t the only one who experienced that!
“As a result of this policy, the military budget was reduced during Clinton’s tenure. The total number of active-duty personnel decreased substantially, and some military bases were closed. While the budget was lowered, Clinton also invested in military modernization, aiming for a smaller, more agile, and technologically advanced fighting force. There were several operations during the Clinton Administration which put stress on the smaller military. Those include deployments to Bosnia, Kosovo, Haiti, Somalia, and Persian Gulf.”
No ‘wars’ per se but LOTS of ‘deployments’ and ‘military engagements.’ *Rolleyes*
