Joint Chiefs shakedown?

Christopher Hitchens has a manuscript of a book on Bill Clinton in with Verso. I hear it's relentlessly hostile to Clinton, whom Hitchens wants to see impeached. In it, he claims that the Joint Chiefs of Staff paid a visit to Bill after the Monica stuff came out, saying that he'd be discharged from the military for what he did, and why should he remain as their Commander-in-Chief? Cinton's response was a proposed $60 billion boost in military spending. Anyone else heard this?
