Any commander worth his salt won't even think of eating until all his troops are served.
GW Bush did NOT eat at all. He SERVED!!
And that's exactly what the commanders were taught in the neck of the woods I came from.

We still eat after our troops are served, that hopefully will never change.
As for Hitlery, she is an elitist member of "The Party" (ie Orwell's 1984), so she feels she deserves to be served before the "uneducated barbaric baffoons" (to quote an ex-girlfriend's view of the military).
While I do love all these backfires from the Left and the great news about the economy, jobs, and the war, I doubt many people in the world will ever hear about them since accurate news reporting is only left to the internet and outlets like FOX which are usually lambasted as "right wing hate outlets".
Here's a quote (slightly paraphrased since I can't remember all of it) for Hillary and the President. You decide which one lived up to it. The quote, I think, is from Gen Patton. "An officer's rank is a badge of servitude. Servitude to his men".
My vote is Bush executed the intent of this quote very well while Hitlery showed why these elitest armies we fight (Iraq, North Korea, etc) where officers are royalty and the enlisted are trash are defeated time and again.

During my tours on active duty, there was a definite order in the mess line - last was the commander, and just before him was the chaplain (moi)...that's just the way it was - and is!

Oh give her a break. She was never in the service, and her husband wasn't there to share his vast understanding of military etiquette with her.

You hit the nail on the head. As a former Marine SNCO, it was the letter of the law in every leadership course that the leader eats last. Shrillery and her gang of lesbo pigs treated our troops with total distain.
Now the real question - why do people STILL support this witch? Why? I mean, she is the teflon *itch!
