| 118. My BIL is ex-Army Intelligence and an ardent Obama supporter |
|
He was medicalled out because of a bad spinal injury he incurred while jumping "blind" from a plane at night while in Bosnia, of all places. Guess what HE thinks about the so-called "Snipergate"? NOTHING. He doesn't like Hillary at all, but this very decorated man thinks it's all a politician eye-rolling joke.
