Reply #90: My Take- Which May Be Wrong

[KittyWampus]

The Miltary traditionally did not have Daycare on bases or any other family services such as child education or counseling.

Taking care of Military members families (or Veterans) is not high on "Establishment" Pentagon members' priority list.

These services are expensive and many Military families are essentially low income. Spouses work and can't afford DECENT Day Care.

And from what I have heard, Clark and his wife were actively involved in getting these things set up for Military families.

Thsi is one reason why I believe that Clark is NOT "Establishment" Pentagon... I sincerely believe he took care of the Military men and women as best he could and worked to improve their conditions.

I also think he sees the waste in the Pentagon and will work to change things.

General Clark said his domestic priorities would include health insurance and rolling back parts of Mr. Bush's
tax cuts. "I don't see why we can't have health insurance for every single American," he said.

Asked how he would pay for it, General Clark said he was open to some cuts in the budget he is more
familiar with — the Pentagon's. "The armed forces are a want machine," he said. "They are structured to
develop want."
