Hillary's lies

When our men and women volunteer to serve in our armed forces, it is with the clear understanding that they may be put in harms way in defense of our country. That is why is takes great courage to put on that uniform. And that is why Senator Hillary Clinton's recent lies about being under sniper fire in Bosnia ten years ago are so insulting to our military, and, by extension, all Americans. Her lies demean those who actually demonstrate real courage everyday. Her retraction, days later by the way, that she had "misspoken" continued the insult. The notion that our First Lady and First Daughter would be allowed to come under sniper fire is preposterous. It would never happen. We have real soldiers getting shot at by real enemies with real bullets and bombs everyday. Ms Clinton's memory was not faulty nor did she "misspeak". She calculatedly concocted a wild lie in the hope that it would make her appear courageous and ready for the presidency. My respect goes to our truly courageous soldiers, not a lying opportunistic politician.
