Re-enlistments will dramaticaly drop, and resignations of commissions will spike. No one will want to serve leaders that despise them, will send them on “peacekeeper: missions, under fund and poorly supply them and will willingly consider them expendable, in the face of “expedient” surrenders.

Absolutely correct. Plus, some Marines and soldiers would likely find a way to get discharged early ("Bad back", "I'm a homo", whatever) rather than serve under an Obama or a Hillary.

No one will want to serve leaders that despise them, will send them on “peacekeeper: missions, under fund and poorly supply them and will willingly consider them expendable, in the face of “expedient” surrenders.

Don't forget the Clinton mindset - - picking up the trash in Haiti, and missions with no bullets and no support ("Blackhawk Down").

This is exactly what the anti war Liberals and Libertarians
want.
Our Military deserve better.

My daughters have said that they will not re-enlist in such a case.

This didn’t happen under Clinton. In fact, the entire present military leadership prospered under Clinton.

The military had to throw people out of the service so they could maintain capability with reduced budgets.

Oh, and food for thought - none of the present military leadership resigned under Clinton.

I was on the verge of joining the Navy in 1992 upon graduating from college in May of 1993. Then, Bill Clinton got elected and I just couldn't bring myself to do it, particularly after the whole "those are our fighter planes now" nonsense from the Hollyweird crowd.
