New York Sen. Hillary Clinton forced U.S. troops stationed at
Bagram air base in Afghanistan to wait for their Thanksgiving dinner last
Thursday, while she and her entourage arrived late, then cut in line and were
served first.
A soldier who witnessed the scene tells NewsMax:
"Thanksgiving Dinner started at 3 p.m. that day, so the line was forming
around 2:30 p.m. She didn't show up until around 3:30 p.m.
"Once she got there," our source maintains, "Clinton and her entourage
bumped everyone in line, forcing them to wait almost an extra hour."
The brass at Bagram apparently had a hard time rounding up New Yorkers who
wanted to have dinner with Mrs. Clinton. Only six G.I.'s responded to an email
sent out last week that stated, "Looking for military members from New York
and Rhode Island interested in meeting their Senator/Congressman."
People Magazine was on hand to cover the event and wanted to interview the
troops for reaction to Mrs. Clinton's visit.
"But they were getting declined left and right," our source said. "People
were actually telling the reporters 'You don't want to print what I think
about her and her visit.'"
After Clinton and her entourage departed, the only topics G.I.s wanted to
talk about were "how great the food was and how fantastic they thought George
Bush's visit to Iraq was."
