o Hillary also(told)a group of female military veterans that she
tried to join the Marines in 1975, the same year she married Bill
Clinton. According to Hillary, the recruiter, who Hillary claimed
didn't look any older than 21 years old, rejected her, saying
that she was too old, wore glasses, and was a woman. He then
reportedly suggested that Hillary go to the Army because "maybe
the dogs might take you."
Jerry from Baltimore, who joined the military with a special
exemption after age 27, doubted Hillary's story, given that at
age 27, Hillary was a law professor, a field that the military
was willing to make exemptions for. Since the military was also
bending over backwards for women, he thought Hillary's story was
difficult to believe.
Other callers also expressed doubts about Hillary's story, such
as Maiti from Biloxi, MS, who was active duty military and about
to retire. She said there was no way a Marine recruiter, who
would have gone through all sorts of specialized training, would
tell Hillary what she claimed unless perhaps the recruiter were
goaded into doing it by the would-be recruit. Also, when Maiti
joined in 1977, the recruiters were falling all over themselves
to get her to sign up.
She was told they already have a mascot.
