Why voters don’t trust Hillary Clinton By Debra Saunders San Francisco Chronicle
V
oters in Colorado, Iowa and Virginia think Hillary Clinton is not honest or trustworthy. According to the latest Quinnipiac poll, a mere 34 percent of Colorado voters think she can be trusted; 62 percent do not. In Iowa, those numbers are 33 percent to 59; in Virginia, Clinton is underwater on trust, too, 39 percent to 55 percent. Clinton’s conduct is catching up with her. In March, Clinton told reporters that as secretary of state, she had “opted for convenience� to use private email because she “thought it would be easier to carry just one device� for her work and for her personal emails. Oh, and she used a private — not a government — server, and the private server already has been scrubbed. She deleted some 30,000 emails — because they were personal — before sending another 30,000 to Foggy Bottom. Voters will have to take her word that half the emails were personal and did not risk national security. An inspector general has asked the Department of Justice to investigate. It seems a sampling of 40 emails Clinton sent as secretary of state found that four contained classified information that should have been labeled “secret.� The only question is: What took so long? In 1996, The New York Times’ William Safire branded Clinton a “congenital liar� in a column that cited the first lady’s amazing acumen in the commodities market, her role in firing staff in the White House travel office and the mysterious disappearance and appearance of documents from her former law firm. The Clintons have a way of play-

ing the clock until the public loses interest in an overcomplicated story. The Clinton email/private server story is too technical, as well, but it directs attention to other Clinton vices: 1) Blind ambition. Clinton was her party’s front-runner in 2008, but then Democrats bolted to a first-term senator from Illinois. Yes, they liked Barack Obama, but also, they did not trust Clinton, who had voted for the Iraq War before she turned against it. 2) Greed. Bill and Hillary Clinton raked in $25 million in speaking fees over 16 months. Clinton maintains she wants to fight for income inequality, even as she charged UCLA $300,000 for one speech last year — and that fee, paid by a private fund, was her special “university rate.� 3) Mendacity. Given Clinton’s history in the White House, it is impossible to believe she thought she should use a private server for sensitive national security correspondence, which is part of the public record. If she wanted to keep her personal emails private, Clinton knows she should have kept a separate private account. It shows how little respect Clinton has for the public that she would contend that she simply did not want to carry two phones. In July, Clinton told CNN’s Brianna Keilar: “Everything I did was permitted. There was no law. There was no regulation. There was nothing that did not give me the full authority to decide how I was going to communicate.� Washington Post fact checker Glenn Kessler gave that statement three Pinocchios for “significant factual error and/or obvious contradictions.� Clinton treated a top Cabinet post as a personal fiefdom. How do you think she would treat the White House?

MAJ. BAMBI: D
onnie Dunagan is a hardnosed Marine, a highly decorated veteran of the Vietnam War who served for a quartercentury. First drafted in the ’50s and subsequently promoted 13 times in 21 years — a Corps record at the time, he recalls — Dunagan found the Marines a perfect fit. That is, so long as he could keep a secret. A dark reminder of the past Dunagan left behind still lurked unspoken: He was Bambi. As a kid, Dunagan did a brief stint as a child actor, and he was tapped by Walt Disney to be the voice of the lead in the 1942 “Bambi,� the now-classic animated film about a young deer learning about life in the forest. And not one of his fellow Marines knew. “No chance!� Dunagan, now 80, tells his wife, Dana, on a recent visit with StoryCorps in San Angelo, Texas. “I never said a word to anybody about Bambi, even to you. When we first met I never said a word about it. Most of the image in people’s minds of Bambi was a little frail deer, not doing very well, sliding around on the ice on his belly.� Now, imagine the man who was once Bambi as a commander in a Marine Corps boot camp, responsible for hundreds of recruits. Dunagan didn’t want his recruits drawing any connec-

Gitmo home to one-ofa-kind record collection Valued at nearly $2 million By Matt Yurus and Noor Wazwaz Medill News Service NAVAL BASE GUANTANAMO BAY, CUBA — This isolated U.S. Navy base has many facilities and services to make life comfortable for the service members and their families stationed here. That includes a radio and TV broadcast facility holding more than 22,000 reel-to-reel and vinyl records, valued at as much as $2 million. But it’s not just any old music collection. This one, which includes a reelto-reel of the Beatles anthology album and a recording of the “Good Morning, Vietnam� soundtrack, is rumored to house recordings that were never formally released. “I believe this is one of the largest, if not the largest, collection in the Armed Services Network,� said Kelly Wirfel, base spokeswoman. Alphabetized on wooden shelves, the records sit in square cutouts with their album track lists catalogued on index cards in nearby filing cabinets. Broken souvenirs, Radio GTMO apparel and other electronic equipment surround the treasure.
The Armed Forces Radio and Television Service reportedly last appraised the collection in 2007 and found that the only way to yield the maximum value of $2 million would be to auction the records and reels individually. But that’s impossible, since they’re government property, Wirfel said. Radio GTMO, which has been on the island since the 1940s and in its present location since 1964, is the only source of American radio for American personnel on the base. It offers three stations — two play modern tunes and classic rock while the other is reserved for talk radio and news. The signal stops at the northeast gate, the entrance point to Castro’s Cuba. The stations mainly play digitized songs, but the vinyl does come out for special events. “We’ll play vinyl records during the radiothon (fundraiser) because we’ll get some really old requests,� said Petty Officer 3rd Class Kevin Outzen, a disc jockey for the station. “I’ve heard that Armed Forces Network would like those records back to be archived and put into a museum,� he added.

Marine vet honors fallen female troops with 160-mile run Mother of fallen cheers her on When Marine Maj. Bridget Guerrero (ret.) set out to run a mile for each of the 160 female troops killed in Iraq and Afghanistan, she never thought that one of their moms would show up to support her along the way. After training for months, Guerrero set out to run 160 miles around Washington’s Puget Sound from July 30 – Aug. 2. When she noticed a stranger among the crowd that came out to support her along the four-day trek, Guerrero introduced herself — and quickly realized the woman was the most important person there. Re McClung, the mother of Maj. Megan McClung, an accomplished triathlete and the first female Marine killed during the Iraq War, had come to wish Guerrero well. She gave Guerrero her daughter’s service coin, which Guerrero kept ducttaped to her arm for the remainder of the race. “To know she is running for my daughter ‌ and to know that she is running with Meg’s coin and to know that funds she raises will pay forward to the daughter of another Marine — it’s overwhelming,â€?

Army to open field artillery occupation specialties to women – except for one The Army intends to open all but one field artillery military occupation specialty – 13F fire support specialist – to female soldiers, a move that would cover 21,000 previously male-only jobs, a Pentagon spokesman said Tuesday. Women could be authorized by late October to serve in the newly opened cannon crewmember and field artillery automated data systems specialist MOSs, according to Army spokesman Paul Prince, who said Defense Secretary Ash Carter sent official notification to Congress last month. The move comes as the military continues efforts to end prohibitions against
women serving in traditionally male combat jobs. In 2013, then-Defense Secretary Leon Panetta rescinded a 1994 Pentagon policy barring women from serving in battalionsize or smaller combat units. The goal: to integrate qualified female troops into most, if not all, jobs by 2016. Each service has until Sept. 30 to provide Carter its recommendations on implementing women into remaining closed positions. Each must provide official waivers to the secretary explaining their reasoning ARMY, continued on Page 11

Honor Cart for Fallen Heroes arrives at Lindbergh Alone on the airfield, one cart is reserved for heroes. With blue paint, red carpet and American flag curtains, the customized cart carries the remains of fallen service members along their journey home to their final resting place. It’s the most visible component of the Alaska Airlines Fallen Soldier Program, which ensures the remains are treated with respect and dignity upon arrival. A group of airline employees who felt that fallen heroes and veterans deserved special care when being transported to their final resting place launched a special program that’s now in place at San Diego International Airport. The Alaska Airlines Fallen Soldier Program has added a customized patriotic cart to be used at Lindbergh Field. The Honor Cart arrived Aug. 4 after traveling 1,200 miles from Seattle under escort by Patriot Guard Riders with new riders joining the ride all along the way.

Navy triples maternity leave to 18 weeks Three months after Navy Secretary Ray Mabus proposed more maternity leave for sailors and Marines, the sea service has tripled the amount of time off from six weeks to 18 weeks. The new policy took effect on Wednesday, according to a message to the fleet. The expanded benefit will better support women in the service and improve recruiting and retention, Mabus said. “We have incredibly talented women who want to serve, and they also want to be mothers and have the time to fulfill that important role the right way,� he said in a statement on Wednesday. “We can do that for them.� He added, “Meaningful maternity leave when it matters most is one of the best ways that we can support the women who serve our county. This flexibility is an investment in our people and our Services, and a safeguard against losing skilled service members.� The secretary first talked about extending maternity leave during a speech at the U.S. Naval Academy in May, when he said it would be doubled to 12 weeks. In July, he tripled the figure to 18 weeks. Under the new rule, the additional time off may be taken immediately after the six weeks of convalescent leave previously authorized, or taken incrementally over the course of the first year after the child’s birth. The balance of the leave must be used up within that first year. There were 71,000 women in the Navy and Marine Corps as of January, of which some 27,000 were married, according to Defense Department data. The new rule doesn’t apply to adoptive parents. Adoption leave, which is also considered non-chargeable, is currently 21 days for both male and female sailors and Marines. Adoption leave does not count against regular leave time. The new benefit also doesn’t apply to paternity leave. Married service members are allowed 10 days of paternity leave under a 2008 law that stresses the word “married,� though service officials are considering expanding the benefit for single sailor fathers, Navy Times has reported. “When the women in our Navy and Marine Corps answer the call to serve, they are making the difficult choice to be away from their children – sometimes for prolonged periods of time – so that they can do the demanding jobs that we ask them to do,� Mabus said. “With increased maternity leave, we can demonstrate the commitment of the Navy and Marine Corps to the women who are committed to serve.�

Concealed carry on military facilities: Not a simple fix By Andrew Cannito Founder & President, Homeland Security Network at American Military University
O
n July 16, Mohammad Youssuf Abdulazeez opened fire on a military recruiting station, then moved on to a U.S. Navy/ Marine Corps Reserve Center just miles away, ultimately killing four Marines, one Sailor, and injuring two more people. In the wake of this attack, the idea of granting our nation’s servicemembers the use of concealed weapons on our military installations has swept the nation. While the attack is being considered a “lone wolf � operation, ISIS has made public claims of responsibility. The terror group has been encouraging these lone wolf attacks for some time, calling on their supporters within the U.S. to act. At first thought, one might think, “yes of course, let them carry,� but the decision is more complicated than a simple yes or no. Allowing every soldier, sailor, marine, and airman to carry without considering the finer details could have deadly consequences. In the last couple of years, law enforcement across the country, especially within the federal sector, has been hammering active shooter training for their officers. The chaotic and unknown nature of active shooter scenarios, coupled with the
panic of victims, has created headaches for first responders. Typical response guidelines encourage the first officer or officers on the scene to make entry and neutralize the threat as soon as possible to prevent further bloodshed. One issue of major concern in active shooter response is the danger of “blue-on-blue� incidents. This term refers to friendly fire instances where officers draw down or even fire on other officers unknowingly, usually because one officer is either off-duty or in plain clothes and therefore not recognized by the responding officers. One might ask how this relates to concealed carry on military facilities. Imagine a scenario much like the one that occurred at Fort Hood in 2014. In this situation, an Iraq war veteran, who suffered from apparent mental health issues, opened fire on other servicemembers. Three people were killed and 16 were injured before the shooter took his own life. Now put yourself in the shoes of a DoD police officer responding to that 911 call just around the corner, only in this scenario military members are permitted to carry concealed weapons on post. As you enter the building, gun drawn at the ready, clearing a hallway, you spot a male wearing an army uniform, gun in-hand emergCONCEALED CARRY, continued on Page 13

However, before I could hit the ball, a squirrel ran by and grabbed my ball and scurried up a tree.� The priest asked, “Is that when you said the ‘F-word?’� The man replied, “No, because an eagle then flew by and caught the squirrel in its sharp talons and flew away.� The priest let out a breath and queried, “Is that when you swore?� The man replied, “No, because the eagle flew over the green, and the dying squirrel let go of my golf ball and it landed within 5 inches of the hole.� The priest screamed, “Don’t tell me you missed the f...ing putt!�

Taking confession
A man goes to confession and says, “Forgive me father for I have sinned.� The priest asks if he would like to confess his sins, and the man replies that he used the “F-word� over the weekend. The priest says, “Oh OK, just say three Hail Marys, and try to watch your language.� The man replies that he would like to confess as to why he said the “F-word.� The priest sighs and tells him to continue. “Well, father, I played golf on Sunday with my buddies instead of going to church.� The priest says, “And you got upset over that and swore?� The man replied, “No, that wasn’t why I swore. On the first tee I duck-

86’d
A lady goes to the doctor and complains that her husband is losing interest in sex. The doctor gives her a pill, but
warns her that it’s still experimental. He tells her to slip it into his mashed potatoes at dinner, so that night, she does just that. About a week later, she’s back at the doctor, where she says, “Doc, the pill worked great! I put it in the potatoes like you said! It wasn’t five minutes later that he jumped up, raked all the food and dishes onto the floor, grabbed me, ripped all my clothes off, and ravaged me right there on the table!� The doctor says, “I’m sorry, we didn’t realize the pill was that strong! The foundation will be glad to pay for any damages.� “Nah,� she says, “that’s okay. We’re never going back to that restaurant anyway.�

Marine working for Rep. Duncan Hunter arrested after gun found A Marine working in the office of Rep. Duncan Hunter (R-Alpine) was arrested near the Capitol after authorities discovered he was in possession of a loaded handgun. Gunnery Sgt. Peter Boby, an active-duty Marine working as a fellow in an advisory role in Hunter’s office, was found with a .45-caliber handgun. He was charged with carrying a pistol without a license, carrying an unregistered firearm and carrying unregistered ammunition. In a statement, Hunter praised Boby’s work and said the incident was probably an accident. “Peter has been a top-notch perform-
er,� Hunter said. “He’s a hero who’s seen combat, who’s been wounded and who’s been in good standing with the Marine Corps throughout. We are still getting the facts, but this was most likely an accident. There’s no reason to suggest it was intentional.� Capitol Police spokeswoman Lt. Kimberly Schneider said Boby was being processed at police headquarters. A representative of Hunter’s office said the Marine Corps will ultimately decide whether Boby, who he said had done tours of duty in Iraq and Afghanistan, serves out the remainder of his one-year fellowship, which he began in January.

Corps individually to determine whether female Marines could serve in the role. He said those decisions have not been made. In the Army, about 124,000 positions, primarily in the infantry, armor and Special Forces fields, will remain closed to women for now. Prince said a final decision about those — including the field artillery MOS that works with infantry and armor units — has yet to be made. “We’ve done a lot of pilot programs, we’ve done a lot of physical testing, we’ve done a lot of testing on how we integrate women into units, and those are all going well,� Army Chief of Staff Gen. Raymond Odierno told Army Times on Monday. “We want the best person, if they’re qualified and meet the standards, we want to give them the opportunity to do whatever they want.�
Continued from Page 5 for continuing to bar women from serving in any positions. The services have taken different approaches in pursuing that goal. Each has conducted studies on how to safely and effectively bring women into such fields. The Army, for example, has opened more than 75,500 positions to women since 2012, when it began its integration program. The Marine Corps, however, has not opened any positions, waiting until recommendations are made to the defense secretary, a Marine Corps spokesman said. More than 58,000 — or about 32 percent — of active duty Marine Corps jobs remain closed to women. The spokesman said the service is looking at every job in the

sine with a Mediterranean flair. The menu is inventive with small bites, bites, large bites and last bites. We grazed on mussels, flatbread, salad, meatballs, risotto and, of course, dessert (last bite). The latter was home-made donuts with chocolate Nutella sauce. An after dinner drink in the Cave Lounge listening to music completed a wonderful getaway day. In the morning, during a walkabout to further scope out the resort, we discovered a meditation maze and a well-marked 1.5-mile walking trail. It was hard to believe how quickly we entered backcountry terrain so close to a luxury resort. Our attention then turned to the main attraction, the casino. It features slots,
table games, bingo and, of course, my favorite, poker. Fortunately, I was there on a Sunday when a daytime hold ’em tournament was scheduled (the others are Thursday – Saturday nights). The game turned out to be a World Poker Tour satellite with some serious competition. The poker room is well run and clearly has a local following. It’s easy to understand how Pala earned its coveted Four Diamond rating. And, at trip’s end, there’s nothing better than a short drive home.

Save agony, plan for the end of life
By Howard Hian MilitaryPress n a recent getaway, we discovered a dandy surprise: The fullservice Pala Casino Spa Resort, in North County San Diego. After an efficient check-in, my wife and I headed to the Pala Privileges Center to sign up for their rewards program and the 60 Plus Club. Then we eased into vacation mode with relaxing massages at the full-service Pala Spa. There are tranquil indoor and outdoor relaxation and treatment areas, a stateof-the art fitness center and a boutique. The balance of the day was spent lounging in a cabana by the pool. That evening, we went to Choices, The Buffet. It’s the largest in Southern California, featuring eight themed food stations. My favorite was the amazing array of seafood. During our stay, we enjoyed breakfasts at Cafe Amore and the Pala Cafe and lunch at the Promenade Deli. Dinner at The Cave was the highlight of our gustatory adventures. The Cave has a lounge with live entertainment and a wine cellar with almost 500 labels to choose from. Chef Luciano Cibelli prepares locally sourced, modern Italian cui-
YOU
t’s a lot simpler to earn money during your lifetime than it is to pass it on to others when you die. That’s because laws are written by legislatures filled with lawyers, who are seemingly incapable of composing anything in plain, unambiguous language, which, of course, provides plenty of employment for other lawyers. I am not a lawyer, and nothing I say here is meant to be legal advice, nor should it be taken as such. They are opinions based on experience, and intended solely to prod you into thinking about a subject you may rather not think about. For example, everybody should have a will. Doesn’t matter how much or how little property you own. There can be some little thing — an old car or a boat, maybe, or a small bank account — that has no clear provision for someone to claim it. That can force whoever is left to clean up after you into an interminable maze of red tape, blind alleys, contradictory directions from bureaucrats, impenetrable computer systems, lawyers’ offices and maybe a psychologist’s couch. A simple will might spare someone that agony. Might. A will doesn’t have to be complicated, filled with repetitive, meaningless legalese — unless, of course, a lawyer does it. You can write your own will, even in your own handwriting, in which case it doesn’t have to be witnessed. (If it’s typed, it has to be witnessed.) But it’s tricky. You have to follow the rules, which can be found online in the state probate laws. If you die without a will (intestate), state law dictates who gets what. You should name an executor, the person to carry out your wishes and file the will for probate, which means the court’s approving its validity. (In some states a lawyer is required to do this, even if your executor is capable.) If you want to use a lawyer, save yourself some time and money by writing out in advance everything you want in your will, including contingencies, like what happens if someone named in the will dies before or at the same time you do. You can always change or add to a will. Some people would benefit by having a revocable living trust, MONEY, continued on Page 16

CONCEALED CARRY Continued from Page 7 ing from an office. Assuming you have the presence of mind to use verbal commands before resorting to deadly force, you shout “STOP� and as you do, the on-edge soldier turns in your direction, gun raised. The likely ending to this scenario is that one of the two shoots the other before realizing that neither is the suspect. This is just one of the many concerns with on-post concealed carry. Whatever good can come of soldiers carrying will quickly be lost if soldiers and police officers start dying at each other’s hands. This is by no means an effort to prevent policy change. As a member of the armed forces myself, I am on board, and have wanted to see this law for quite some time. However, in order to prevent more tragic loss, substantial consideration needs to be given to training and policy should on-post concealed carry come to fruition. Those in our nation’s military share at least one thing in common if nothing else; the desire to help people and defend this country. There are several possible considerations that could reduce the probability of blue-on-blue situations. Perhaps, while on post, servicemembers should be required to convert to open carry, thus allowing others to know who is and is not, which might help when coordinating a response. Or maybe policies need to be enacted where should an active shooter scenario arise, armed servicemembers are to stay sheltered in place and only use the firearm if the shooter is within their immediate vicinity. Another idea is to require servicemembers wishing to exercise their right to carry, to undergo training
similar to the “plain clothes encounters� training that many police officers receive. This training reinforces what off-duty or plain clothes officers should do if they encounter responding officers, a training program that most states require in basic police curriculum. Either way, whatever direction policymakers choose , safety is the number- one priority. While the possibility exists for accidents to happen, Servicemembers should not be deprived of the means to defend themselves, especially considering the current threat climate.
HONOR CART Continued from Page 6 line customers, is a large decal that says “Alaska Airlines Honoring the Fallen� along with a star and emblems for the five armed services. Volunteers make sure a certain protocol is followed every time a fallen member of the U.S. military travels on Alaska Airlines. They are from employees in every department.
“You don’t have to be a veteran you don’t have to have served your country you just need to care for the men and women who make our lives possible every day,� said program volunteer Brett Magran. San Diego is the fifth city to receive an Alaska Airlines Honor cart. They are also in place at Los Angeles, Portland, Anchorage and Seattle airports. Even though it’s managed by Alaska Airlines it will be available for any airline to use.
At work today, I took charge of the team. Afterward, my boss asked where that came from. My answer was easy.

duty service members, family members of deceased troops and in one case a very old friend. Matthew Denney, a retired Marine who ran alongside Guerrero at amphibious warfare training in the mid-1990s, flew from his home in Bend, Ore., early Saturday morning and met Guerrero along the third leg of her race. They hadn’t seen one another since 2001, but Denney ran 30 miles by Guerrero’s side. “I originally tried to come up with a good reason why I couldn’t go run with her,� Denney said. “But this is something that warrants attention and support.� Guerrero, a lifelong runner who served as a communications and intelligence officer with 4th Reconnaissance Battalion, was a member of the Corps’ marathon, super-marathon and pentathlon teams. She lives in Edmonds, Wash., with her husband, Dan, son, Sam, and twin daughters, Claire and Ella. For more information about the Valor Run organization, go to www. valorrun.org.

MONEY Continued from Page 12 which enables you to continue to control your assets (including your home) and directs how they should be distributed when you die. You can change or revoke it at any time. One advantage: it avoids probate fees. It might save on estate taxes, especially if it’s what’s called a generation-skipping trust, which names grandchildren as the beneficiaries instead of their parents. Don’t try to write your own trust. But be alert — some lawyers download a generic form, filled in by an aide, and it might contain verbiage you didn’t ask for and don’t want. Not all lawyers are equally competent in the areas of wills and trusts.
