“So, Wesley Clark is running for president. Pretty amazing guy. Four star general, first in his class at West Point, supreme commander of NATO, saw combat in Vietnam, won the bronze star, silver star, the purple heart for being wounded in battle. See, I'm no political expert, but that sounds pretty good next to choking on a pretzel, falling off a scooter and dropping the dog.” FirstsHeartRunningPoliticalGuyFallNextStarsSoundPresidentClassSawsFourDogBattleWestSupremeExpertsSilverCombatVietnamWoundedPurpleDroppingCommandersChokeNatoBronzeFalling OffPretzelsWest PointScootersPurple Heart Author:Jay Leno
“As president, I wouldn't be making the day-to-day combat decisions. The job of the commander-in-chief is to lay the objective out and then you rely upon the generals and admirals and commanders to give you their expert advice on the tools needed to carry out that objective.” GivingJobsPresidentDecisionAdviceNeededToolsLaysObjectivesChiefsExpertsRelyCombatDay To DayCommandersCommander In ChiefRely UponAdmiral Author:Ted Cruz

“We need a president who will lead with a stronger, more consistent foreign policy. We also need our commander in chief to put more faith in military leadership who have all of the combat experience. It’s bad policy to try to micromanage too much operationally and tactically from a desk in the Oval Office.” NeedsTryingPresidentToo MuchMilitaryPolicyOfficeStrongerChiefsConsistentCombatForeign PolicyDesksCommandersCommander In ChiefOvalMilitary Leadership Author:Lee Zeldin
“This is America, where a white Catholic male Republican judge was murdered on his way to greet a Democratic Jewish woman member of Congress, who was his friend. Her life was saved initially by a 20-year old Mexican-American gay college student, and eventually by a Korean-American combat surgeon, all eulogized by our African American President.” WayYearsAmericaPresidentWhiteStudentsCollegeJudgingRepublicanGayMembersCatholicDemocraticMalesCongressSavedAfrican AmericanCombatMexicanSurgeonsKoreanAmerican PresidentCollege StudentsMexican American Author:Mark Shields
