Why did Hillary pad her resume with the sniper fire in Bosnia lie?

[Lone_Wolf]

Still trying to figure what she lied about this.

1. Her only response when called on it

was "I mean, come on guys. I say a million words a day."

Her followers don't seem to care about her just brazenly lying like this, and doing it so repetitively.

2. That series of lies and sub-lies was one of the weirdest things I've ever seen

The smiling, the wistful look into the sunset, as she recanted her harrowing tale. She seemed so very impressed with the sound of her own voice.

Psycho!

3. Why does she lie pathologically? How many lies has she been caught in now? Tons.

Most are over the liberal issues she now professes to have supported all along.

Hey, she says she was always for that $15 an hour - her latest blatant lie.

Her lies over Honduras that DemocracyNow.org exposed her for last week just put a fork in her for me. I will not vote for that woman. Too much blood on her hands. I believe she is a guaranteed war in Iran and more blood of innocents by their countries being destabilized all over the world if she gets in.

4. The Cognitive Dissonance Is Ether Massive Or Completely NON-Existent With Her Supporters

Maybe THIS will help....

5. Because I'm sure people still believe it, just like people still believe her

And if they know she lied about something like that, I have no idea how they believe she'll do half the things she claims she would.

6. Narcissists have no problems

lying if it will bolster their persona and make them look a particular way.

In this case, it was likely an attempt at stolen valor. She wanted to look tough. Instead she just looked like yet another asshole caught in a big lie who simply wouldn't apologize. She figured we would all forget it and move on to more important things like her coronation.

I will never forgive that lie.

7. As a real question - I have no clue

I would like to understand this event

really

8. Pretty common stuff for candidates

I have seen this behavior from candidates at various levels. Claiming college degrees they don't have is very common. Inflating small accomplishments into magnificent achievements is almost a requirement. We make a big deal of it when it involves the military, questions of combat, etc. I'm not sure why.

9. Same reason she threw a 12yr old rape victim under the bus...she figured it'd help her career. nt

10. it doesn't cost her elections--she's ahead in NY for the time being
