My husband (unfortunately) was working in the Pentagon for two years midway through Clinton's Presidency and they were constantly having to fight Clinton's political appointees for everything!
If it had not been for Newt Gingrich and the "Republican Revolution" we would not have had the weapons that have helped us to win this war so far.
I also recall that during the Kosovo police action Wesley Clark nearly used up our tomahawk and cruise missile strategic reserve.
The Clinton administration also civilianized many important logistics operations which put our troops in that convoy that was attacked in harms' way. They did not train for or have the proper protection.
I could go on and on. Clinton downsized the military, not the federal government and it was the support structure that was downsized.
My husband was there and he fought against it. So, we all know that Morton Kondracke is on the receiving end of the Democrat talking points.
From now on I will take that in consideration everytime I hear him open his prissy mouth.
Which was proven a bad idea in Yemen when the USS Cole was attacked. Clintoon's thugs set up deals to fuel up in port to "save money" when we used to fuel those ships at sea. What idiots. My brother just retired from 20 years in the Air Force. He's seen it all. The horror stories during the Clinton years are awful. The number of good men that just quit. He even told me Clinton wouldn't survive a visit to his base. They hated that man.
