America's Generals on Why They Support Hillary Clinton to be Our Next Commander-in-Chief:
Brigadier General John M. Watkins, Jr.:
"As I think about the challenges facing the nation and having been in uniform for almost thirty years, worked with a number of presidents to include the last four, I can’t think of a single person - those generals included - who is better qualified to walk into the Oval Office than Hillary Clinton. I don’t make that statement very lightly. She is more qualified, in my view, than her husband Bill was when he entered the office. It is no surprise to me that you would have as many flag officers who serve this country and Secretaries of the Army and Navy who have served this country who would come out and support Hillary."
Lieutenant General Frederick E. Vollrath:
"I support Senator Clinton because I believe it’s time for change in our country, a new direction. And I know change carries with it risks. Senator Clinton is the candidate, in my opinion, with the proven experience that truly understands the risks and how to
possibly cope with those risks to get the job done. We shouldn’t shirk from change because of the risks, but we absolutely have to have a leader with the proven experience. America, in the area of national defense, must be successful and Senator Clinton has that experience to create change, to understand the risk, and to get the job done."
Lieutenant General Claudia Kennedy:
"I support her because I trust her. I trust Hillary Clinton because of her judgment and her leadership. I have confidence that she is responsive to the needs of people. I believe that she understands leadership the way we do in the Army and that is that it’s about building connections and relationships and establishing guidance and leadership for others. I think she’ll rebuild relationships with other countries that have been suffering for the last seven or eight years; those relationships have really been strained beyond anything I would have anticipated. Another part of Hillary Clinton that I think is just tremendous is that she knows our reality. She is in touch with people, she listens to people. She decides what she believes about policy based on what’s right, she has integrity, and on what works, so she’s practical." (end quotes)
For all the Dorothys who refuse to surrender when life sends a cyclone or wicked witch their way. Remember what happened when Dorothy finally reached Oz? She's all gussied up, ruby slippers polished, dancing her cares away. Suddenly,the wicked witch burns a message across the sky. Surrender, Dorothy! Hey, all you Dorothys out there: that witch gets hers in the end. NEVER SURRENDER, DOROTHY. The adventure has just begun.
