40. Look I'm not sure I support Clark.....but I'm very interested

And I do hate to see all this right wing spin on DU.

I know military men. I was married to one for ten years. And I don't always have the greatest respect for them because they don't think for themselves. They follow the leader....blindly at times. Its not their fault....its how they are trained.

But Clark isn't like that. He wouldn't play the Pentagon game. He said what he thought even though the brass didn't want to play that way. He said we needed Apaches in Kosovo. The brass went nuts. He said we needed boots on the ground....the bombs were not stopping the geneocide. The brass went nuts. But Clinton listened and Clark was right. He brought Milosovich down.

And for his efforts he was fired. And he knew that would be the likely senario. When a guy puts his career on the line to do what he thinks is right, then he deserves respect.

And by the way, he is highly respected by NATO and has won just about every foreign service medal there is. There is a list posted somewhere. He didn't get them for being a shirker.

Now lets see what his domestic policies are and then we can talk intelligently about Clark. Until then, its just spreading a bunch of silly rumors.

ON EDIT: Clark also voluntarily submitted himself to an International Court for trial for alleged war crimes. He was aquitted. I'd say that takes guts too, wouldn't you?
