Unfit to Lead

There is a creed the American military lives by, which is “No man left behind”. Anyone who doesn’t believe and fully support that creed has no business being in charge of America’s military personnel. Yet, we have someone running for President who thinks it’s just fine to leave four Americans behind to be slaughtered by Al Qaida supported terrorist in Benghazi, even after they were crying out for help from their country. That person, Hillary Clinton denied help to these Americans in trouble as it was not ‘politically’ advantageous to her then boss, Barack Obama who was out on the campaign stump shouting that he had Al Qaida “on the run”. Clinton was more than willing leave Americans hung out to die if helping them meant it might cost her boss a few votes in the Presidential election of 2012. To further demonstrate her contempt for the American military, she supported a made up story that what happened in Benghazi was due to a You Tube video – a fable that was shortly discredited when the facts came out that Clinton and Obama knew the night of the Benghazi attack that is was in fact a planned terror attack. And Hillary Clinton feels she has the credentials to be Commander and Chief of our armed forces? Well, the Old NCO feels differently as she is quite simply, UNFIT TO LEAD.

Can anyone Trump Trump?

Donald Trump is sucking all of the air out of the room. What I mean by that is he continually grabbing headlines and the complete attention of the press corp. And there is a one person that is hugely benefiting from Trump’s ‘shoot from the hip talk’ – and that is Hillary Clinton. As long as Trump is grabbing the headlines, she doesn’t have to worry about questions about Benghazi, destroying emails, white water, and every other scandal in her resume. Instead of criticizing Donald Trump, she should be sending him a thank you letter. Perhaps Mr. Trump would serve his presidential bid better if he turned his sights on Ms. Clinton and her shortcomings to being President.
