Hillary has stated that her vast experience in eight years as Co-President gives her the best qualifications to be our next President.
One of her first lessons, "Gutting the Military".
Quote
In less than three years as Co-Commander in Chief while increasing the number of overseas deployments , reduced the total active-duty force from 2.1 million to 1.6 million men and women . This was accomplished by the following lessons:
1. How to reduce the Army from 18 full-strength light and mechanized divisions to a vulnerable 12 (10 fortified divisions had been used in the Gulf War alone);
2. How to reduce the Navy from 546 to 380 ships, toward a targeted reduction of 300, the smallest naval force since the pre-WWII period;
3. How to reduce the air Force from 76 flight Squadrons to 50;
4. How to insure thousands of young military families, in all branches of the services, become eligible for food stamps and other forms of welfare; and insure the decline of re-enlistment rates to perilous levels, especially in critically needed technical occupations and specialties;
5. How to insure breakdowns in training, maintaining high-tech ships and airplanes, and other vital high-tech equipment and weapons systems.

The net some of her Lessons in "Gutting the Military".

Global insecurity: Conflict between the West and Transnational terrorists, conventional and unconventional conflicts on four continents, and the threat of nuclear war on the Indian subcontinent and Korean peninsula, and possibly in the Middle East. The Clinton Co-Presidency era is bracketed by the 1990 and 2001 terrorist attacks on New York's World Trade Center and their reckless disregard for America's internal security--attacks on our most prominent landmarks and institutions, on our own soil.

This is just one of the Lessons Hillary Learned as co-President and that she maintains qualifies her to be the next President. More Lessons to follow.
