MSG Wade Huffman - I was also at Menwith Hill and you're right. North Yorkshire would be a great place to retire.

No, but hell no. Hillary Lied and 4 Americans died. Why would anyone want to support a person who is currently being investigated by the FBI. Then, Tator Salad from the Redneck tour with Jeff Foxworthy, stated, "You can't fix stupid'!

Absolutely not! No more Clinton's, Bush's, or Obama's. The family affair in Washington has to stop. We need new blood, someone that is faithful to America and the Constitution, not special interests. I know this is asking a lot, but it doesn't hurt to wish.

Somebody please remind the Right that the Constitution doesn't allow putting people in a database because of their religion. Also tell them that a wall--isolationism--has been proven to lead to a country's self-destruction. There is nothing Christian about patrolling outside a mosque with rifles, nothing patriotic about Rambo taking over government property. And exactly to when do you want to "take our country back?" To lynchings, to the Civil War, or to the unregulated capitalism that brought on the Great Depression? The Democratic candidates are not the best, but at least they're not sociopathic tyrants.

Capt Michael Greene - you have drunk fully of the liberal koolaid. Normally I don't care but I worry when one of our own can't think clearly. You are obviously confused if you believe a nation has no responsibility to secure her own borders. You should have learned in high school or college that a nation needs to meet three requirements to be considered something other than a failed state. One of those is the ability to secure your borders. Securing your borders has absolutely nothing to do with isolationism. That you would compare the two makes me question your understanding of government and your role in the military.
Sociopathic liar, serial abuser of the military and vile person would be the best description of the liberal candidate and as much as I dislike Trump, there's is actually little you can point to that makes him anything other than a blowhard.

I agree to not only no, but heck no! Especially given her track record as Secretary of State...Benghazi...

Not sure how Benghazi is a rally cry for conservative media. Fact is it was an organized attack against an American diplomatic compound that resulted in the death of Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens and Foreign Service Information Management Officer Sean Smith. State Department officials did deny requests for additional security at the consulate prior to the attack. And also with-in hours of the attack an e-mail was sent in Washington to anyone concerned from varying departments verifying it was an organized attack. Not a spontaneous protest triggered by an anti-Muslim video. Several hours later, a second assault targeted a different compound about one mile away. That resulted in the deaths of CIA contractors, Tyrone S. Woods and Glen Doherty. Ten others were also injured in the attacks. The U.S. filed criminal charges against several individuals, including leader Ahmed Abu Khattala the Benghazi leader of Ansar al-Sharia. Who was one of the organizers of the premeditated attack.

Seriously MSGT? Fox news wouldn't shut up about it and how it's proof that the current administration is all traitorous anti americans.

Sorry but Fox News isn't guilty of trying to cover up the boondoggle and fabricated the lies that where told to the nation. That would be the former Secretary of State, Susan Rice and POTUS. But then again who cares and what difference does it make. So yes Seriously! I guess we just have differing opinions. Have a good evening.

MAJ Whitehorn, Sir, Please in the event MRS. Hilary Clinton is voted as President of this great nation, the United States of America, lets air out of our concerns about her now because if she does become President, there might be a lot SMs being fired for their comments. With that said, I will try to keep it tactful and professional. I am from Arkansas, born and raised in a small town of Conway which is 25 miles from Little Rock. I am not stranger to the Clintons. I myself, do not want to see MRS. Clinton as the next president. To me, MRS. Clinton is just like President Obama but she's no 2.0 version. She is more like negative 2.0. She as president would be stepping deeper into a bottomless bag of FUBAR.
MRS. Clinton should not be President should not be President mostly because of Benghazi. Here are some reason:
1. She lied about why Benghazi was attacked - no integrity
2. She said, "why does it matter" why Benghazi was attacked even though the facts were known
3. She took some responsibility be ordering an investigation but by her own department? If Alpha company as a sexual assault accusations, do they do their own 15-6 investigations? I didn't think so. Someone much higher will make that decision like the BN CDR.
4. She could have prevented the attack. She knew of the dangers yet she sat on the information. She is a manager, not a LEADER!
5. She has silenced whistle blowers. People have been threatened to be silent. Why would she need to do this? It sounds like a cover up to me.
6. She had no plan to defend the four Americans by refusing to provide ample protection.
This is why she should not be President.

TSgt Hunter Logan I agree with your synopsis on Emailgate but would like to put it in some additional Context.
A Sitting President was removed from office over 18.5 minutes of inaudible tape recording - out of over 3700 hours of remaining material.
Hillary as a Candidate for the same office, had approximately 60 thousand e-mails on a server in her home, avoiding using a Gov't e-mail server(some of the reasons for this are debateable on a timeline so I'll leave it out, but there is additional unresolved controversy) and when asked about it she decided to parse which ones she'd release and came up with about 1/2 or 30 000 e-mail which she would then let the State Department(her former post) decide which ones should be releasable. Then whether she did it herself or not(how many of these people do any of this for themselves anyway?) set her back up setting to the last 60 days, effectively erasing an additional 30 000 e-mails. This latter while under a Congressional request to turn over the server(which to my knowledge still hasn't been done).
For Nixon to have done the same thing, he'd have had to decided what parts of the tape were going to be released, turned over approx 1850 hours(and you can bet the missing 18 minutes wouldn't have been in this part) and have set the rest on top of an industrial magnet.
To me, it's telling about the state of Affairs that the Democratic National Committee is even LETTING her run, much less endorsing her.
She will not be receiving my vote.

My prediction is this. Neither party will put forward a candidate that deserves to sit in the office of the President of the United States of America. Both parties have failed us, they deceive us and rob us of our hard earned money and spend it on things that most Americans disagree with. Then to add insult to injury then exempt themselves from their own tyrannical laws.

I agree. Unfortunately the media has way too much influence on people's opinion. Some continue to champion Hillary, the other Ted Cruz. I am tired of established politicians getting all the attention. No matter what, it seems like we will be back to choosing the lesser of two evils. Looks like PO3 Dale S. already said that. I just don't have the energy to get worked up over that anymore. As we say, "it is what it is"; and we can hopefully finally get someone who will actually make a positive change and bring our country back together.

Not just no but HELL no. First and foremost, she does not have the best interests in mind for the country. Second, her total disregard for human life, especially with Benghazi, clearly disqualifies her for ANY office. Third, I sure as hell do not want another Clinton, or Bush, or political family in office.
Who I want is someone of the people and FOR the people. Sadly, there are hardly any around who do wish to run.

Even people who support her cannot name one accomplishment she did as Secretary of State.

The opening-up of Myanmar
In 2012, Clinton became the first secretary of state in 50 years to make an official visit to Myanmar, part of the Obama administration's efforts to reward the ruling military junta for taking concrete steps toward a freer society. Clinton met with Nobel Peace Prize laureate Aung San Suu Kyi (pictured), a pro-democracy activist who had been recently released from house arrest. Clinton's visit to Myanmar also fell under the Obama administration's much-publicized pivot to Asia, following years of perceived neglect of the region under President Bush, whose foreign policy agenda was largely absorbed by terrorism and the Iraq War.

Playing peacemaker in the Middle East
In late 2012, Clinton brought all her diplomatic resources to bear during a bloody outbreak of violence between Israel and Arab militants in the Gaza Strip, performing a whirlwind tour of the region that many credited with helping prevent an all-out war. Clinton reportedly spent hours negotiating with Egypt's newly elected Islamist president, Mohamed Morsi (pictured), to cement the deal, which had the added benefit of reaffirming Egypt's continued support for a peace treaty with Israel.

SSgt. As much as i agree with most on this subject I do believe there is enough people that will vote for her anyway. They only see the woman, not any thing she has done. It's going to be a sad day in America if she goes in. we are down to a and crook and a liar. With no respect for anyone.

Disagree, I think we can get honest people in office, but it would require a lot of changes to the current system in order to make it happen.

While I would take her over our current president I do not believe she has the right values or reasoning ability to be president. I also believes she lacks the integrity I expect from a dog catcher.
