2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumWhen Hillary finally apologizes to me or my unit then I may support her.
Yes, you read that right she owes me personally an apology for her Bosnia story. I say this because my job at the time was as an Intelligence Specialist assigned to the area. I was on the team that gave the plane the go ahead to land that the area was secure. General William Nash called my Chief Claire to verify, Chief then asked my group and we kinda looked at each other and said of course it's secure. Why did we answer this way? Because the war in Bosnia ended in 1995, and that by 1996, shooting of any kind was unlikely to happen. Moreover, the Tuzla area was a Serb-controlled area, which makes a sniper fire even more unlikely as snipers were mainly active in the urban areas where civilians were trapped under Serb/ Croat nationalists siege such as Sarajevo and Mostar.
So, until I get a true blue "I'm Sorry" I can not and will not support her for any office.
My other question is if it were you in my shoes would you?
This is the only time I will bring this up, after this until she says the words I'm done with it and her.

Kindly apologize to the OP for the insinuation of lying and I will gladly self-delete.

I respect all you know and all you did. Don't waste a single worry. She will not miss you. The rest of us value you and support your vote however it goes.

(707 posts)I do thank you for the welcome though. I may be still bitter over this due to the fact that is where my accident occured. That now has me limited on my mobility and drawing 100% disability. So my feelings on this are raw to say the least.

(707 posts)Maybe it is due to the fact that she has had 8 years to apologize and has thus far failed to. Maybe it is because she may end up the nominee and then I will be faced with a choice of her or someone else and I would rather vote for her instead of someone else. My hope is she will address this lie and offer apologies to those whom it was told about.
