Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton resurrected a story that has been met with skepticism about how she was rejected by a Marine recruiter in the 1970s.

The Democratic presidential frontrunner reminisced about her brief exchange with the young man during a small-scale event called Candidate Café in Manchester, N.H., on Tuesday.

“He looks at me and he goes, ‘Um, how old are you?’ And I said, ‘Well I am 26. I’ll be 27.’ And he goes, ‘Well, that’s kind of old for us.’ And then he says to me — and this is what gets me — ‘Maybe the dogs will take you,’ meaning the Army,” Clinton said to a small group of undecided voters over breakfast, which was organized by local ABC affiliate WMUR-TV and the New Hampshire Institute of Politics and Political Library.

Clinton has told the story several times since at least the mid-1990s. But some have questioned whether a Yale law school graduate who led anti-war protests, campaigned for anti-war presidential candidates and was teaching law at the University of Arkansas would want to enlist in 1975: the year she got married and the Vietnam War ended.

From what I understand ...there are several versions of the story...and

Hillary pulls out whatever version fits the occasion.

The Marines must really love Hillary... :lol:

Hillary is fabricating trying to join the Marines so she can say, she almost has military experience. It's like she flew into a combat zone and braved sniper fire, ducking an running through the barrage of bullets. She presented that as being battle tested having served her country in combat although not in uniform.
