If there is one so-called government organization that won't miss Bill Clinton or, presumably, Vice President Al Gore, when the current administration packs up and leaves next January, it will be the U.S. military.

The Clinton administration had virtually no respect for the military, with attitudes shaped by ignorance of the armed forces or by ideological hostility to the military, Patterson said.
Patterson related to INA Today an account of one Clinton staff member expressing surprise when she learned that many in the military have college degrees.
Morale plunged in the military under Clinton, Patterson said, as the administration's disregard for the military became increasingly apparent.

The war with Yugoslavia has brought the question of our military preparedness the forefront. President Clinton, who was once quoted as saying "I loathe the military," has seriously eroded our military capabilities. Clinton avoided marching off to Vietnam by dodging the draft, although he did march on the U.S. Embassy in Moscow to protest against America. When he first assumed the Presidency, his counterculture staff would not permit senior military officers to wear their uniforms at the White House. Such has been his attitude toward our armed forces.

The November 14, 1997 Arizona Republic features an interesting article written by Wall Street Journal writer Thomas E. Ricks. The title of his piece is "Military is becoming more conservative, political." In it, Mr. Ricks makes his case by revealing that the ratio of conservatives to liberals in the military has grown from 4-1 in 1976 to 23-1 now. He says only 3% of senior military officers say they are even "somewhat liberal," compared with 27% for civilian elites.

Maj. Gen. Harold Campbell was compelled to retire after referring, no doubt affectionately, to the "gay-loving," "womanizing," "draft-dodging" and "pot-smoking" President in a speech at an Air Force banquet. Other officers received reprimands for characterizing their Commander-in-Chief as a "lying draft dodger," a "moral coward," and an "adulterous liar" in letters to their local newspapers.
It is perhaps worth noting in passing that the truthfulness of an accusation is not considered a viable defense to an Article 88 court martial.

I love the last line of that quote
I find it amusing that you would think the military had ANY respect for Clinton.
