I had not given any thought to this but now that I think about it there will definitely be an exodus (how significant I wouldn't venture to say) as there was under Bill's Presidency. The majority of the military (officer and enlisted) did not like him because of...primarily his draft dodging days...and there was an exodus but I do not think it was of any great significance. It is a fact though...that he would not visit certain military bases...because of a known srong disdain for him.

Actually I servered from 2000-2006 and can say the reason alot of reenlistments didn't happen was because of the low pay raises (2.5%) and the fact there were no wars happening besides Bosnia, after Bush was in we got the money and the war which although we hated it cause it was in the worst possible region it still gave us career opportunities and more cash so if hillary plans on an Iraq pullout (no pun intended) the military would have to downsize.
