#1 Wasnât Billary traveling with an Ex-Army guy? He should have told her about he protocol. Maybe he did and she ignored him?

Speaks loads about what she (and her husband, no doubt) thinks of our military. But if this attitude is what ends up keeping her and her ilk out of the Oval Office, great!

#2 Actually, I think she was with an ex-Marine (Jack Reed?), but he still should heve known better, and told her. If she ignored him, she should receive the wrath only the military can hold against an 'elected' official. Problem with military people is they have long memories, they share their experiences with their comerades, and they have families. Hillary probably ensured that that regular 30% of the military that actually votes will increase to 50-60%, and they WON'T vote Democratic. But Hitlery is above all that: here is another example; here's another. Just for kickers, here's the latest foot-in-mouth job from Howard Dean.

Hillary is playing queen, and the rest of the dummycheat mob can lick her boots, as far as she's concerned. She needs a good come-uppance. It would be nice if the New Yorkers decided to recall her slimy ~~a$$~~self. I'm sure it would send the "appropriate" message.

#3 Interesting contrast. Bush was reported as serving the troops and it was specifically noted that he did not stop to partake of the full meal. HRH Hillary I was noted for exactly the opposite.

#4 Looks to me like Hills has jumped to the front of more than a few chowlines.

(Ok, that was a cheap shot. Sue me.)

Military protocol aside, what about having a lick of common sense.

#5 Bush was smart enough to eat before he arrived. He had been on the red cluephone evidently. Serving is way the hell more politic than eating.

#6 IMHO Hillary will not run in 2004,but will continually tease her supporters in order to keep the money flowing.Don't forget,she will have an extremely expensive Senate reelection campaign in 2006,as well as building the infrastructure for her 2008 Presidential run.(She knows she in not charasmatic,so she has to buy top Democratic support.)
I believe she would be a total disaster as President,not because of her beliefs or politics,but because of her life experience.Hillary has never been the executive in charge of anything.While she has alledgedly wielded great power as a lawyer,First Lady,etc.,she has never been responsible for the consequences of her "power".And I find it interesting that none of the accounts of Bill's foreign affairs(Kosovo,Ireland Peace Accords,Mideast Peace Negotiations,Korean Crisis,Somalia,Iraq,Bombing Sudan,Nato War in Balkans)ever mentions Hillary.

Did you notice on the film how she was stuffing her face like she had never eaten? Not ladylike at all!

Reed is a West Pointer and was in the 82nd Airborne. Not sure if he was with "HRH" or if he even offered advice. Then again, he's been out of the Army for 24 years and he's a Senator now. They tend to develop delusions of grandeur.

#9 I am happy that nothing got ugly. A military unit doesn't need to shame itself by mistreating a guest however impolite that guest mught be. Units clean up for big wig visits out of personal pride more than anything else. Outsiders' opinions can affect funding but espirit de corps is the main issue.

Some big wigs will eat out of politeness and for a chance to mingle with the troops in an informal setting - photo op stuff. I have never heard of any big wig acting impolitely on a goodwill tour. I have never watched her closely; does she clomp into Japanese houses with her shoes on?
