Bill Clinton: American Military Is Now 'Less Racist, Less Sexist, and Less Homophobic'
Weekly Standard ^ | 11/04/2012 | DANIEL HALPER

At a campaign rally for President Barack Obama yesterday in Virginia, former President Bill Clinton talked about bringing "this country together" and crossing "all of its diversity." Then, Clinton added this:

"One of the things the decider-in-chief has to do is decide whether he’s going to bring this country together across all its diversity or let it drift apart. Look at how much stronger the American military is because it is less racist, less sexist and less homophobic and we’re just looking for people who can do the job," said Clinton.

Bill Clinton: American Military Is Now 'Less Racist, Less Sexist, and Less Homophobic'

There you have it. This is what Democrats think is important when it comes to the military. In truth, it's one reason why they're unfit to be in charge of the military.

Clinton, the military is a reflection of society at large. Put a cork in in your pie-hole.

“Bill Clinton: American Military Is Now ‘Less Racist, Less Sexist, and Less Homophobic’”

They’re also less confident that their government will have their backs if they are attacked by terrorists!

I hope it is less racist, the black power mentality was dominate in the early 70s among the NCOs, and the black ranks openly reflected black militancy.

In AIT I saw a black power wrist band wearing, non-haircut getting soldier with the banned afro-comb, wearing boots that he refused to shine, and all the other things that a washout does, (shirt tail, slouching, hands in pockets, attitude, no leadership, lazy, hostile), when he needs to be cycled out of the military, win soldier of the month.

The man was chosen by his black NCOs over not only the white soldiers, including THE obvious choice, but over a couple of very good black soldiers who were in the running, but who weren’t militants. I doubt that he made it through his enlistment, but he will always be ‘soldier of the month’ for that cycle, it was the clearest race message that I have ever seen within an institution.

Yeah, try asking that question of the families that lost their loved ones in Benghazi.

Are they now happy that their loved ones were left to die because "we aren't so militaristic, so racist, we just loved those Islamist who were murdering us."

So Bill, if the military was all of those things when you were young would you have still fled the country to avoid the draft? *COWARD!*

So Clinton, it was never about increasing opportunities for our people to serve, but all along it was about changing the minds and attitudes of America - right?

Clinton truly does suck. As does the way he measures a “strong” military.

The Left truly believes that the masses believe whatever blather the Democrat Party spews, no questions asked.

The left, in a manner of speaking, figures that flicking drops of water at your enemy wins, with minimal losses. In fact, if you looked at the death toll in America, the dead Libyan ambassador, and more, you see that Clinton, Bush II, and so on never really did a full job at beating Iraq, Iran, and the Taliban. Then there’s the problem of ground troops somehow being hours away from Benghazi, where’s the Marines or Navy SEALS to launch from a carrier? Or how about airborne SERE or Rangers from our Air Force bases? The military is a mess, an frankly, if it takes a war hawk to properly command it, so be it.

And, according to Sec. Def. Panetta, incapable of launching a rescue mission to a consulate or embassy to save 41 FedMob foreign stationed employees.

Air power alone doesn’t win; something that Clinton and Obama don’t seem to recognize.

Did he say that under oath? He’s a lawyer, you know, and lawyers are taught to never lie under oath.

In my last tour in VN, 1967-1968, my Platoon Leaders were Black, seemed to attract bad luck, the Platoon Sargent was a Jap, great guy did a couple of wars, the rest were Ridge Runners and NElanders, no queers that I know of.

No Rangers were dragged through the streets in Mogadishu as far as I have ever been able to find, the men dragged, were the crew of Black Hawk Super 6-4, and the two Delta operators who knowingly went to their deaths to fight for them.

The media, including talk radio, decided to call them Rangers for some unknown reason.

Of all of the 18 soldiers killed, 6 were Rangers.

That’s all well and good,

There is nothing well or good about it. The fact that we have been conditioned to accept it tells me this country has dim prospects for continuing to be a Constitutional Republic.

Don’t know about Bubba’s claims, but I do know that the vast majority of the military would stand in line for days if offered the chance to take a bodacious dump on the t*rd-in-chief.

Yeah I was impressed with how well they did in Benghazi - like a very cautious girl scout troop... is it safe? Is it safe to go in? Can someone ask mommy...
