That said, the only thing that stopped me from joining the military in 2001 was that GWB was the Commander-in-chief, and I didn't trust him enough to sign myself over to his pleasure. I'm sure there are some individuals that will have a problem with Hilary as commander-in-chief, and would either not sign up, or leave at their first opportunity... but if they're doing it only because she's a "woman," they have issues, imho.
