Reply #12: Interesting site, thanks, but I'd go easy on the 'mo medals' angle.

It could be true, since the audit on awards and decorations of Col. David Hackworth (Army, Ret.) was in '99, who was the previous apparent 'record holder'.

Doesn't matter a jot to me, since I strongly support Clark for the man he is. But I'd hate to see nitpicking threads, let alone news articles, about what medals should really count, foreign vs US, etc.

It's a little OT, but awards and decorations just ain't what they were in Ike's day. With the usual and standard exception of the US Marine Corps, thank God.
