Here’s a small Clinton ‘military compilation of various threads on the FR forum
Dems Attack Bush's Use of Aircraft Carrier for Speech
Naaaaaaaaah, the Dem's wouldn't do that.
Presidential visits to Navy ships
President Clinton piped aboard the USS Independence, April 17, 1996.
"On the Senate floor Tuesday, Sen. Robert Byrd (D-W.Va.) questioned "the motives of a desk-bound president who assumes the garb of a warrior for the purposes of a speech."
I guess that nobody remembers when Bill Clinton wanted to have a "photo op" with the Navy at Vietnam where the American flag was to fly lower than the Vietnam flag?
SEPTEMBER 18 2000: Clinton finally makes it to Nam?
OCTOBER 16 2000: Flag flap follow up
DECEMBER 18 2000: Flag-flap vindication
So, Bush has a photo op on an American carrier where he evokes pride in our accomplishments and the Democrats cry fould, yet Clinton attempted to stage a Navy photo op where he diminishes the Navy and makes them subordinate to a dictatorial regime.
