Do you think that Fiorina just lost all military support for her presidential run?

About those generals Fiorina would bring back

Four out of the five don't match Fiorina's description as being retired early by the Obama administration.

I don't know why she would. She has valiantly proscribed a stronger military than we have now. Though, unfortunately, no longer a really viable presidential candidate, whomever does finally get the GOP nod should scarf this woman up is a New York second. She will be great at whatever cabinet job she's given.

I think she lost credibility within the military community, within the nation (for those that watch the news and read) as to what her level of "familiarity" with the Generals is, of what her understanding is about why they left and who did or did not have access to the President. Two of the five's reasons for resigning were widely publicized and one flatly denied he even ever spoke to the President this morning.
Keane has already pointed out that he had never worked for Obama – or even spoken to him.
After becoming head of the CIA, Petraeus - don't we all know why he resigned?
McCrystal did have access to the President but made a fatal error of letting a Rolling Stone reporter embed with him, not realizing that the things he and his staff said would be quoted.

PFC Joseph Levi - Private; Not ALL - only those members of the military who would prefer a "Commander-in-Chief" who actually knows what they are talking about when they talk about the military and can recognize when someone is spouting well aged bovine excrement.

PFC Joseph Levi I don't believe this will have any impact on Fiorina's support within the military, I don't see that she has any particular strong base of support, she is a marginal player in the GOP field and will not be either the nominee or a VP candidate.

PFC Joseph Levi A lot of candidates will make mistakes over the next several months. For Firoina its going to be money and staying power. I personally don't think she will get the money needed to maintain in the long run, but I could be wrong. She definitely needs to fire somebody on her team for not doing their research properly!

She is polling at such low numbers generally I don't think her remarks about these GO's will have any effect. I do believe she'd make a fine president - ala Maggie Thatcher style.....

They should bring all of them back no matter who is President. All outstanding General Officers. She may have had he facts a little off, but who cares. It is not like she is even polling high enough to matter.
