Media Get Curious About Hillary’s Story of Joining The Marines

From Breitbart's Big Journalism:
A week ago, this author explicitly called out the media for failing to cover Hillary’s claims that she tried to join the Marines in 1975. On Thursday, CNN senior Washington correspondent Jeff Zeleny followed up on that story. The story first cropped up in 1994, when Hillary said she visited a recruiting office in Arkansas, but was rejected because of her age and thick glasses. Hillary said, according to New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd, that the Marines told her, “You’re too old, you can’t see and you’re a woman…Maybe the dogs would take you.” Hillary added, “It was not a very encouraging conversation. I decided maybe I’ll look for another way to serve my country.”
....................

Zeleny, asked about Hillary’s Marine story on CNN, said:
We don’t have enough specifics actually to actually know if it’s true or not..... She didn’t give any explanation. So, we asked her campaign for just a few more details on this. Because it seems so unusual that a Yale-educated lawyer who worked on the anti-war campaigns of McCarthy and McGovern, who had just moved to Arkansas, whose husband was about to become the Attorney General of the state would decide to want to join the Marines. But the campaign said they’re not going to add any more comment on this. So the questions are left to discuss here.
The quote above should give any logic person pause about Hillary's claim.
