The U.S. Army confirmed that a slide on a training presentation featured Hillary Clinton as a potential domestic threat. Her image was included with Aaron Alexis, the Navy Yard Shooter, former CIA Director Gen. David Petraeus, who shared classified information with his mistress, Paula Broadwell, Eric Snowden, and Chelsea Manning—all of which have been accused or convicted to mishandling sensitive material relating to our national security.
Jacqeuline Klimas reported on this rather awkward moment for The Washington Examiner. The photo of the training slide was posted to the U.S. Army W.T.F.! Moments on Facebook. Klimas added that the slide has been removed; it does not reflect official Army policy; and that local units are given some room to formulate their own training programs:
Maj. Thomas Campbell, a U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command spokesman, confirmed that the photo showed a real training slide that was developed 18 months ago and used locally to teach best practices for handling classified information and maintaining operational security. The training slide has since been removed, he said."As is common with Army training requirements, the local unit was given latitude to develop their own training products to accomplish the overall training objective. This particular presentation had not been reviewed or approved by the unit's leadership, and does not reflect the position of the Army," Campbell said.
