i got out of the navy after 5 years when clinton was elected and everything i was scared of happened on his watch

Me too. I did six years and I got out during the Klinton purge (1994). Pissed me off. Klinton did everything he could to gut the military and I didn't think the senior leaders were doing near enough to take care of their people (bunch of lousy careerists as far as I'm concerned; not a one of them quit/retired in protest, per Bill Gertz).

I got into the Navy during the Reagan administration and I got out during Klinton's. The degradation during that six years was downright frightening.
