Never mind the Clark Brigade. It just hangs around "at ease" all day waiting to come out of nowhere and pummel anyone not bowing in deference to General Clark's political aspirations.

Don't take anything personally; it'll help you stay calmer.

You're not alone in having serious concerns about Clark. Go ahead and express them. This is a political discussion board- not a cheer-leading board.

We'll consider this your baptism of fire! You have been pummelled and pounded by the Clark Brigade but you're still standing! :party:

Your post was well-written and educational but I think its impossible to appreciate its significance if you have no idea what the mentoring system is all about.

I was stationed in Europe and at an MI Bn at Fort Hood while Clark was in command and had many friends in Kosovo who will not be jumping on Clark's bandwagon due to serious concerns they also have(Yugoslavia, Acxiom, Jackson Stephens, AEI/PNAC, Brookings Institute, Homeland Security). Did you attend the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey? If so please PM me. It's always good to see more military people on this board to refute some of the absolute rubbish that gets posted- especially now.

So welcome and remember- you're not alone with your concerns. As you know it's not because we're mean or anti-military (hah!) but because these times are too scary to just take someone at their word... no matter how handsome and well-spoken he is.

Here is a productive stay at DU! :toast:

Oh and I'm a registered Democrat but my political tendencies, I'm told, are pretty leftist ;) Peace
