Tuesday, Dec. 2, 2003 12:44 a.m. EST Bagram GI: Troops Waited While Hillary Chowed Down
U.S. Sen. Hillary Clinton forced U.S. troops stationed at Bagram Air Base in Afghanistan to wait for their Thanksgiving dinner last Thursday while she and her entourage arrived late, then cut in line and were served first.
A soldier who witnessed the scene tells NewsMax:
"Thanksgiving Dinner started at 3 p.m. that day, so the line was forming around 2:30 p.m. She didn't show up until around 3:30 p.m.
"Once she got there," our source maintains, "Clinton and her entourage bumped everyone in line, forcing them to wait almost an extra hour."
The brass at Bagram apparently had a hard time rounding up New Yorkers who wanted to have dinner with Clinton, D-N.Y. Only six GIs responded to an e-mail sent out last week that stated, "Looking for military member from New York and Rhode Island interested in meeting their Senator/Congressman." People magazine was on hand to cover the event and wanted to interview the troops for reaction to Clinton's visit.
"But they were getting declined left and right," our source said. "People were actually telling the reporters, 'You don't want to print what I think about her and her visit.'"
After Clinton and her entourage departed, the only topics GIs wanted to talk about were "how great the food was and how fantastic they thought George Bush's visit to Iraq was."
Mrs. Clinton supports the United Nations in all things and does not support her country, demoralizes the military and trashes her President. She has NO RESPECT FOR THE MILITARY AND NEVER HAS HAD she loathes them. She made that very clear with her remarks to the GI's - she is not only disrespectful to these magnificent men and women in uniform, she is a traitor to her country. NO TO MRS. CLINTON EVER REGAINING THE WHITE HOUSE AND NO TO HER SEXUAL PREDATOR HUSBAND!
