There is a lot of talk about "equal pay" on a gender basis and now women can serve in combat units in the military. Hillary Clinton wants to be elected commander in chief of our armed forces, yet she has never served a day in the military. It is true that she can't be called a draft dodger(like her husband) since women were not subject to the draft, but nothing prevented her from volunteering for military service during the Vietnam War. Why should we put her in charge of all U.S. servicemen and servicewomen when she wouldn't take the initiative to serve herself?
No country attacked us, so no she should not have signed up.
A republican president got us into a war with Iraq and Afghanistan.....and you are blaming dems Why is that.
Actually it was Congress who got us into wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and a whole lot of Democrats voted to do that, including Hillary. A president cannot act unilaterally, unless his name is Obama.
So a drunk serving KP duty and a high school dropout is more qualified than a Harvard graduate who never served?
Yes, having been through basic training, learning discipline, the meaning of orders and the chain of command and following orders they would be more qualified.
You still think though a falling down drunk/drug addict veteran would make a better President than a college graduate head of a Fortune 500 or similar position.
There is more to being President than being CIC. Nowhere in the Constitution does it say the CIC had to serve in the Armed Services as a prerequisite to being President. Evidently, the founding fathers didn't have an issue with it, but it seems you do. Why is that?
Perhaps the founding fathers could not conceive of anyone wanting to lead the country not to have willingly served it in the military?
Yes, having been through basic training, learning discipline, the meaning of orders and the chain of command and following orders they would be more qualified.
Example in point, the current POTUS.
Having served as a grunt and having experienced those things, does NOT guarantee leadership, governance, and most importantly, fundraising!

Why is that.
