Military won't
miss Clinton

If there is one so-called government organization that won't miss Bill
Clinton or, presumably, Vice President Al Gore, when the current
administration packs up and leaves next January, it will be the U.S.
military.
Though there is no doubt in my mind -- after interviewing Pentagon staffers
and high-ranking civilian and military officials -- that the Pentagon, at its
top levels, has been almost totally corrupted by Clinton-Gore administration
appointees, the lower levels of command and control still belong to astute
professionals who are daily sickened by what has happened to the most
powerful military force in history.
They -- and not the Clinton-Gore political leaders -- know, with certainty,
that charges of U.S. military unpreparedness are not only accurate but
dangerous.
It has been politics, not technology or innovation, that has so damaged the
American armed forces. Proof of that came again on Sunday in a follow-up
story by WND radio personality Geoff Metcalf in a series he began reporting
in August.
Initially, Metcalf reported that high-ranking U.S. Navy officials, who spoke
on condition of anonymity, said Clinton was planning a trip to Vietnam before
the end of his term but after the Nov. 7 elections, so as not to harm prot�g�
Gore in the realm of public opinion.
Naturally the administration's Navy spokesmen denied the allegations, but
just weeks later the trip was confirmed. No big surprise there.
What was surprising (and controversial) about the planned trip, however, was
the White House's alleged attempt to ignore Navy regulations and U.S. law and
allow the American flag aboard one of our own warships to be flown below the
flag of Vietnam as it entered a Vietnamese harbor. The
administration-appointed Navy officials denied that one, too.
But, as it turns out, Metcalf's original source was right; indeed the Clinton
administration was kicking around the idea of breaking the law and hundreds
of years of naval tradition by lowering our flag for a country we fought for
11 years in the most controversial war we've ever waged -- a war that
Clinton, by the way, purposefully lied to avoid.
Even the so-called mainstream press, which has so often bleated the
administration line that "all is well" in the military, is finally catching
up to the fact that something is wrong in the armed services.
On Monday the pro-establishment Washington Post published a well-worn and
fifth-hand account about how junior Army officers are fleeing the service
faster than the Pentagon can replace them.
According to the report, "the Army is losing captains and other junior
officers at such an alarming rate that it could have trouble filling
leadership positions within two or three years," said the paper.
"More than 11 percent of the Army's captains decided to leave the service
over the past year, continuing a trend that began in fiscal 1997, when the
attrition rate was less than 8 percent, the officials said."
The story, quoting a recent Pentagon report, said the problem wasn't as bad
in the other services, but it did exist in them as well.
As has been widely reported by WND and other cutting-edge publications, one
of the main reasons Army juniors are taking their walking papers is because
they're sick and tired of being sent to every third-world toilet -- for no
good reason -- every time this administration needs a bump in the polls or
needs to hide another scandal.
Overdeployment, underfunding, arrogance and a lack of respect for military
ways and traditions have led some of our best officers and senior enlisted
personnel out the door since 1993. This is talent we cannot replace simply by
signing up new bodies; the level of experience these men and women have taken
with them was hard-fought and won and cannot be taught in officer's training
school or advanced non-commissioned officer training.
Ultimately, this nation will suffer for allowing such abuse of our armed
forces. What other institution is designed to defend us?
In the meantime, as January approaches the military is finally beginning to
see relief at the end of a long, arduous and painful journey through
political hell.
Will the services miss Clinton and Gore? Not a chance; members may even
volunteer to help both of them pack.
