4. Claiming contributions for war fighting you haven't earned is bad karma.

That's true even if your war support was on the home front. And HRC was born AFTER the war ended.

Are you not aware that millions of woman worked in factories during WW2 doing welding, fabricating, etc building ships and tanks? It's the notion of Hillary working a factory job that's funny, and an insult to those millions of women. Now a days, Hillary would see those factories moving overseas, and those women losing their jobs and having to work in service sector for lower wages.

during WW2 -- but the only reason they got these jobs was because the men were off at war and someone had to do the work. And they proved they could do these "men's jobs," just like Hillary proved she could be Senator and then Secretary of State.
