Amid the feeding frenzy over Ben Carson’s recollections of his past, is the mainstream media finally looking into Hillary Clinton’s claims that she wanted to join the Marines?

This morning, CNN reviewed Hillary’s story and essentially cast doubt that it’s true — and reported that the campaign is doing nothing to clear up the details.

“We don’t have enough specifics, actually to know whether it’s true or not,” CNN’s Jeff Zeleny said.

The network’s Senior Washington Correspondent said Hillary’s story “over the years” — and told again to a New Hampshire audience yesterday — is that when she was around 26 years old, Hillary went into a Marine recruiting office in Arkansas to ask if she could enlist.

The claims the young officer who was working there “sized her up” and judged her glasses and her age and said “No, you can’t.” Then, according to the story, the recruiter recommended she “try the Army instead.”

Zeleny said he asked the campaign for more details on the story “because it seems so unusual.

“The Yale-educated lawyer who worked on the anti-war campaigns of McCarty and McGovern, who had just moved to Arkansas, whose husband was about the become the Attorney General of the state would decide to join the Marines?” he said skeptically.

“But the campaign said they’re not going to add any more comment on this so the questions are left to discuss here,” Zeleny concluded.
