Hillary Clinton has more cred than Obama as C-in-C any day of the week.

Her record of support and follow-through for the NY boys in the 10th Mountain Division, a special-purpose corps based out of Fort Drum which has seen incredible overuse and underrecognition from Republicans (Just today, news is McCain will not co-sponsor Jim Webb’s new GI Bill) is enough for them to adopt her and dedicate themselves to her.

I’ll let Jack Keane, then-Vice Chief of Staff of the Army, speak for her:

“…There are other unlikely places where she has won friends and admirers. When Hillary was first elected, General John Keane, then Vice Chief of Staff of the Army, sought an audience, hoping to acquaint the new Senator with some of the Army’s priorities in her state, including West Point and the perpetually deployed 10th Mountain Division, based at Fort Drum. It didn’t entirely surprise him that it took three months to get on her schedule or that, once he did, her staff called his twice to remind him that she couldn’t spare more than 15 minutes.

When he finally got in to see her, however, the meeting did not go as he had expected. For starters, it lasted 45 minutes. “She committed immediately to West Point and the 10th Mountain Division, with follow-up on-site visits,” he says. “But it was her enormous depth of knowledge about the military and her sincerity about our people which surprised and disarmed me.” As First Lady, Hillary told Keane, she had traveled the globe and had often been able to see parts of the world that security prevented her husband from visiting but where the U.S. Army was always present. “She had an extraordinary grasp of our military culture, our soldiers, our families and what it was like for them,” Keane marvels..”

I’m sure there will be some interesting stuff on her relationship with Vince Foster, too. It’s time for a 527 to hit her and her followers HARD.
