How much does Hillary Clinton love America by preparing herself to serve as Commander-in-Chief? Well as a lawyer in 1975, Hillary Clinton did what any 27 year-old Wellesley graduate, fresh off a stint volunteering with the McGovern campaign, would do. Go to her local Armed Forces Recruiting Center to try and join the Marines.
Haha. Seriously though, can you imagine? Wait....what?!
ABC News:
In June 1994, Clinton told an organization trying to build a memorial for women who had served in the armed forces, that while living in Fayetteville, Arkansas, in 1975, "I decided that I was very interested in having some experience in serving in some capacity in the military. So I walked into our local recruiting office..."
See this is good Hillary. Because there's really no way of confirming whether or not this actually happened. So, we'll just have to take her at her word. And it's not like she's utterly devoid of credibility or anything. Except...
The Hill:
She said that Chelsea was jogging around the World Trade Center on Sept. 11 and happened to duck into a coffee shop when the airplanes hit. She said that this move saved Chelsea’s life. But Chelsea told Talk magazine that she was in a friend’s apartment four miles from ground zero when the first plane hit. Her friend called her, waking her up, and told her to turn on the TV. On television, she saw the second plane hit, disproving Hillary’s claim that "she heard the plane hit. She heard it. She did."
But in fairness to Sen. Clinton, this doesn't tell the whole story. On her way to pick up the telephone, Chelsea had to took cover from incoming sniper fire.
