Donald Trump Scoffs At Hillary Clinton Commanding The Military: 'To Think Of Her Being Their Boss?' | Huffington Post

Sexist, misogynist, chauvanist Trump seems to imply a woman as CinC is unfathomable.

Chauvanist Trump:

“When I look at these great admirals and these great generals and these great medal of honor recipients behind me ― to think of her being their boss? I don’t think so,” Trump said at a rally in Selma, North Carolina.

Trump’s incredulity that Clinton could be a suitable military leader is rooted in a long history of men doubting that female politicians could cut it on national security.
You have a right to say anything, even if you are wrong.
Thousands of years of history and strategy precedents show you and your PC-worshipers are in la-la land.
Hillary in particular is unsuited for the most important facet of the Presidency: being Commander-in-Chief.
She has demonstrated her disdain for those in uniform, as well as the men and women that protect her day to day.

Clinton is a writer hawk. Following orders of the elites she will pursue war with Syria and Iran. This will push the Russians to war.
This time women will serve in combat. Clinton will not only get your sons killed but also your daughters.
No one joins the military has a death wish. Why then vote for Clinton?

She's not much different than her husband who didn't use ground troops unless absolutely required Kosova, Bosnia, Sarajevo, Macedonia.

I don't think she's motivated to go to war unecessarily but won't back down if it's required. That's consistent with our country's history.

I hope they back him after the election is stolen from him. It may take a revolution to remove the evil from this country.

He's going to cry that the election was stolen from him now? Seems like this become the common theme whenever Clinton gets good news and looks to be the next POTUS.

How exactly will they back him after the election? Mutiny? Coup d'état?

How about if 2 out of 3 refuse to take any orders she gives? That would be a problem for her.

Refusing orders is a court martial offense. I'd love to see a General Officer or two who has taken the oath of office try that plenty of capable leaders coming up the pike.

Because when it comes to intervention in the Middle East, active military personnel don't want us there. They want to be home, protecting our borders like the Constitution says. They told us that when their donations in 2012 overwhelmingly went to the only candidate who said he was going to bring the troops home.

They may say they back Trump, but donations tell another story:

"Active and retired members of the military have been showing far more support for Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton than for her Republican rival, at least as measured by the checks they’ve written to her campaign.

Individuals who listed their employers as the U.S. Department of Defense or major branches of the military, or who say they’re retired from one of those, have contributed a total of $972,709 to both nominees so far this year. Clinton has claimed $771,471 of the contributions, or nearly 80 percent."

As noted in the article, donations do not always translate to votes, but it is an interesting contradiction.
