There will be no limp wrested salutes to US Military personnel as her husband Bill Clinton was so famous for when he was president. Bill Clinton was constantly under fire for the way he treated the US Military, and it was always noted that in a letter written to an ROTC Colonel in 1969 Bill admitted that he 'loathed the military.' Hillary will have none of that if she is elected as Commander-in-Chief. According to a report from Matt Drudge, the New York Times will report on Tuesday that she is actually practicing her salute.

The report notes the history of Bill noting that of all the early problems Bill Clinton faced as president, few stand out to Hillary as more aggravating and avoidable than his rocky relationship with the military, her advisers tell Healy.

The item adds - Hillary, in effect, has been practicing her salute. "She has cultivated relationships with generals and admirals, prepped herself on wartime needs and strategy and traveled to Iraq and Afghanistan."
