Bagram G.I.: Troops Waited While Hillary Chowed Down

New York Sen. Hillary Clinton forced U.S. troops stationed at Bagram air base in Afghanistan to wait for their Thanksgiving dinner last Thursday, while she and her entourage arrived late, then cut in line and were served first.

A soldier who witnessed the scene tells NewsMax:

"Thanksgiving Dinner started at 3 p.m. that day, so the line was forming around 2:30 p.m. She didn't show up until around 3:30 p.m.

"Once she got there," our source maintains, "Clinton and her entourage bumped everyone in line, forcing them to wait almost an extra hour."

The brass at Bagram apparently had a hard time rounding up New Yorkers who wanted to have dinner with Mrs. Clinton. Only six G.I.'s responded to an email sent out last week that stated, "Looking for military members from New York and Rhode Island interested in meeting their Senator/Congressman."

People Magazine was on hand to cover the event and wanted to interview the troops for reaction to Mrs. Clinton's visit.

"But they were getting declined left and right," our source said. "People were actually telling the reporters 'You don't want to print what I think about her and her visit.'"

After Clinton and her entourage departed, the only topics G.I.s wanted to talk about were "how great the food was and how fantastic they thought George Bush's visit to Iraq was."

Good find! Bookmarking!

[Keith in Iowa]

Most excellent treatment of her Royal Heinous.

[WackyKat]

I take it Hillary won't be getting the military vote in her presidential run

[Ronin]

Bet she didn't leave a tip, either.

Heh, heh, heh, heh....

[kattracks]

She'll probably see to it that military absentee ballots are somehow "lost".

[Bullish]

Of course this report will never see the light of day outside of Newsmax and FreeRepublic.

Afghan hero in Afghanistan on Thanksgiving: "Look!!!! Quickly. At the monitor.
Its our President Bush in Baghdad. He is soooo GREAT!!!!!

Her Royal Highness (D,NY): " [scheming] Damn $@#^%@^%^%$#%$#%@$%
At least I still have a thousand FBI files to manipulate. "

====== O == O ====== MONITOR ========

For a contrasting opinion from the soldier that sat next to Bush in Baghdad.

[Thommas]

..the troops know the difference.

When I was in the Infantry, 'lo 20 years ago, the Officers knew that the quickest way to garner the detestation of the soldiers was to eat before the last man was served. An exception could be granted to the Officers who elected to serve the troops their meals for a while.

Here we see the perfect contrast; the Commander in Chief serves the troops and then sits down for chow, resulting in respect. The bearer of Old Crusty shoves into line, forcing the common troop to delay a holiday meal, resulting in contempt.

The elitist Dems just don't get it.

CLICK TO RELOAD HILLARY:

typical bump

""Once she got there," our source maintains, "Clinton and her entourage bumped everyone in line, forcing them to wait almost an extra hour."

Compared to Bush who shows up makes his speech, and then the only one he cuts in front of is one of the chow slingers so he can serve troops their dinner and say hi.

[Brad's Gramma]

Bookmarked!

[coydog]

See how they're all looking away as much as possible? There's no love here...

[Texas_Jarhead]

unsurprising BUMP

[Texas_Jarhead]

"The elitist Dems just don't get it."

I disagree. They get it but they just don't care.

[billhilly]

Her contempt for the military, expressed early in her husbands first term, continues. It appears that there may be some contempt for her from the military.

[squidly]

That's the sad part.

[TheErnFormerlyKnownAsBig]

It's bad enough when you get to Thanksgiving chow late and have to eat the leftovers. But to have to eat looking at Hillary's face, with that pink eyeshadow on, that would make everything come back up.

"Last one in line has to eat across from Hillary."

I read where the troops in Iraq wiped a personal item of Geraldos on their "private Johnsons" before they gave it to him. I wonder what the mess crew had in store for Hillary? I hope she had her Hepatitis shots before she flew out.

Actually, I hope she didn't.

Gay/Bi Curious?

LOL, it sounds like a personal add you'd read in a porn mag.

[Prodigal Son]

personal add

Make that: personal ad.

ROFL

[Jeff Chandler]

People Mag will write a glowing report of the love the troops showed for her.

Hitlery: A legend in her own mind.

[DeuceTraveler]

It's typical for people to have to wait for a VIP as snags always occur, but it isn't as common for the VIPs to bump people from a food line. She is gaining some weight of late....

Don't miss this. (Not a surprise, but awfully fun to read.)

Ping!

[quietolong]

Anyone have a link the the story of When Hillary’s delegates were at the NY convention. As the color guard passed them they were spitting on them.
Need to add this to the never forget list

[Indinsumer]

Hillary is a master of deception. Let's trade her for Osama? We can do to Osama what I'd like to see done to Hillary!

[DeepDish]

I'd rather see her defeated in 2006. Humiliatingly so.

[Gracey]

Still trying to figure out the purpose of her visit.????!!!

[gatorgriz]

I'll bet the Queen left a tip; something Clintonian like:

"Plant your corn early."

[RandallFlagg]

I'd rather see her defeated in 2006. Humiliatingly so.

You'd better get some padlocks and chains and secure those cemetaries.

Ya know? The "Zombie Vote?"

[Chad Fairbanks]

THanks!

NM. Dishing the dirt on the Clintons 24/7!

[RIGHT IN LAS VEGAS]

NO-ONE HAD TO BALLS TO SMACK HER!

that is all.

[CyberAnt]

Exactly!!

[Quix]

SOME prefer

her unroyal lowness, her hideous heinous.

Perhaps the GI's are among the SOME.

Hillary's delegates spit on and taunt Police Honor Guard at her Convention

[Quix]

. . .

a legend in her own mind . . .

which means it rattles around like a beebee in the Epcot dome.

[Quix]

What a wonderful, patriotic idea!

[Quix]

She and all her cohorts together are not 1/100th worth a career of a buck private.

[DaughterOfAnIwoJimaVet]

You're welcome. Cool, huh? : )
