EVERY TIME DEMS TAKE OFFICE THE DESTROY OUR MILITARY! Deja vu all over again! Clinton gutted our military. Why do you suppose our military was digging in Iraqi garbage dumps to arm themselves? Clinton sold our Military Oil Reserves to the Gore family's big oil company Occidental petroleum. Decommissioned war ships and oil tankers. Pre-Clinton's we had more than 33 refueling tankers post CLinton 8. USS COLE had to refuel in an hostel port. 17 sailors dead, war ship destroyed. 2000 Bombing USS Cole in the port of Aden, Yemen, 17 U.S. Navy sailors murdered (Oct 12, 2000) (The USS Cole was not engaged in any combat during this period) In less than a 3-year period Clinton decreased U.S.'s military manpower from 2.1 million to 1.6 million & enacted a pay freeze on U.S. troops, 80% of whom earned $30K or less annually. Clinton pursued massive social experiments in the military in the name of gender & diversity reform, which included requiring "consciousness raising" classes for military personnel, redefining physical standards if women were unable to meet the traditional norms, & in general undermining meritocratic benchmarks... During the Clinton years, the Democrats' insistence that U.S. power was somehow the disturber—rather than the enforcer—of international tranquility, prompted the White House to turn to multilateral agencies for leadership, particularly the discredited United Nations.
