To me, this statement by Bill Clinton, a former president and COMMANDER IN CHIEF, borders on…well, let’s just say that it is wildly irresponsible: “The point is there is no military victory here,” former President Bill Clinton told Diane Sawyer on ABC’s “Good Morning America.” But former presidents have responsibilities and restrictions (of honor, not of law) that are greater than those of candidates or ordinary citizens. Statements like this one can easily be interpreted as undercutting our troops. They harm morale in a way that no columnist or blogger could ever do. This statement was outrageous, and it should be met with great condemnation.
