Remember the story from early in the Clinton years, when some unfortunate military officer was assigned to ride in a limousine with Chelsea? She freaked out like Freedy Krueger had gotten in the car with her.Thanks for the flag to this thread, Sabertooth.Her parents had drilled her to loathe the military from birth.
The Officer never broke decorum. He simply exited the car and didn't say a word.
"'During Clintons first year in office,' writes (the U.S. Marines) Lt. Col. Tom McKenney in the (1994) book, 'The Clinton Chronicles,' 'an incident occurred which was buried by the news media.'
'The occasion was a departure for a state function, a routine operation,' Col. McKenney writes. 'Vehicles were lined up outside the White House...
Young Chelsea Clinton, like everyone else, was assigned a specific sedan.' But when Chelsea was about to get into her limo, she turned around and declared: 'I wont ride in this car! Theres a military man in here, and I dont ride with military men!'The 'military man' happened to be a senior U.S. officer.
Being a gentleman, however, he quietly got out of the car and found another ride.In a separate incident, Chelsea asked her young Marine security escort to wear civilian clothes in the future. 'My family doesnt like military people,' she explained.
Where, do you suppose, the 'young Chelsea' acquired such attitudes? At her home, of course.
And those are the two women (Hillary and Chelsea) whom President Clinton sent in March (1996) to boost the morale of our troops in Bosnia?
Thats like sending 'Hanoi Jane' to cheer up U.S. troops in Vietnam'!"
