Who do you want as President when the faux shooting starts?

If the Devil only wears Prada then that must be the reason Hillary Rodham-Clinton didn’t pack a bulletproof vest when she visited the Balkans lo these many years ago. That and possibly the sound of one hand clapping constantly droning in her head drowned out if not deflected the imaginary bullets being fired at her by imaginary snipers.

Either way her addled or plainly dishonest (take your pick) characterization of the Balkans trip was totally at odds with events documented on tape by the press and the accounts of others who were also there. Hillary’s “version” of reality must have been seared, positively seared into her psyche. All that was missing was the juxtaposition of the violence in the Balkans with Christmas.

Hillary is the latest in a long line of leftist action figure poseurs. In contrast to her and similar creepy warrior wannabes groupies, those who are truly heroic seldom if ever talk much less brag about their past actions. Instead when pressed to tell of their war experiences they usually deflect recognition to their fallen comrades who paid the ultimate price in service to their country.

Whether Hillary was addled or dishonest, neither a stirring quality for one who would be President, when speaking of her leadership “experience” she has belittled those true warriors who actually served in combat in the Balkans. Coming from Hillary this is not new. In order to become President she will say anything but that will not include saying anything positive about American service men and women. Quite the contrary as doing this would cause her to fall out of favor with her core constituency.
