Though I almost bit my tongue in two during his Presidency,... I know that once our troops are committed, it can only serve to cause GREAT HARM to MORE OF OUR TROOPS if we undermine the role of a Commander in Chief.
EVEN with Clinton as President, there are people who would never obey an unlawful order. The Military has intelligence they gather, and base intervention/action and responses on. I don't doubt Clinton used it to "wag the dog", but it was probably suggested that such action take place WELL BEFORE HE USED IT. Or, he didn't use it the way he was advised to use it. In otherwords, he didn't go far enough. Because he is a coward.
Though we could not stand Clinton, we still stood united in supporting the decision of the "Commander in Chief". We still admired the fact, that despite political differences, the Republicans stood behind him too. Because to do otherwise, endangers our troops. IT doesn't matter if the President is Democrat or Republican. To suggest otherwise would be the epitomy of hypocrisy.
