Obama's military experience?

If you recall, the Clintons didn't exactly have a stellar relationship with the military and they never served either. 

This is a true store, because I was working at the Pentagon at the time:

The first time Bill Clinton came to the Pentagon as "Commander in Chief", they couldn't find many military members that would actually to out  for the arrival ceremony.  I know for a fact, that the Chief of Staff of the Army, had to issue a direct order that they go outside for the ceremony.  That's how the military felt about the Clintons.

Later, there were stories (in the Washinton Post, I seem to recall) about how the Clinton staff would shove plates of hor'derves and ask very senior Military people to  pass them around to the guests at cocktail receptions.  Believe me, there is no love lost between the military and either one of the Clintons.  I feel sure that the vast majority of military members would rather take their chances with Trump than to have to work for Hilary. 

And while we're on the subject, take what Michael Hayden, former director of the CIA, has to say with a grain of salt.  He has sour grapes because his political ambitions have no been realized.  Now he is just a paid talking head, i.e. anaylst, expert, to whatever media will have him.  A lot of retired Senior Generals have propencity to speak out on political issues and most of the time they don't have any more insight than anyone else, but they believe their former rank gives weight to their opinions. Egoism is alive and well among General officers.

Hound, I cannot help but smile when a Trump supporter makes a comment about ex-military having big egos!! Comparing any former general's ego to Trump's is like putting a hummingbird egg beside an ostrich egg!  The even bigger difference is between most former general's degree of common sense and Trump's complete inability to know when to keep his mouth shut! Face it Hound, you may be committed to him because of your dislike of the Clintons, but I hope you realize he is a dangerous loose cannon and you are taking a very big gamble with America by supporting him.  I think a MUCH bigger and more dangerous gamble than with Clinton!

I was not making any comparisons between the egos of Generals and Trump. I have spent a fair amount of time around Generals, and I can tell you that the vast majority have egos the size of Texas.  I have not spent time around Trump. 

Sorry I will not by into the myth that Trump is dangerous for America.  I know Hilary  and her supporters are raising this myth that Trump cannot be trusted with nuclear weapons codes and that he is a loose canon.  It's actually pretty funny when you think about it.  BTW, if you have never heard, there are tactical nukes that can be used on the battlefield that require no codes. 

I can tell you are drinking the Kool Aid, Architect  But remember what happened when a lot of people drank the Kool Aid.....
