Great blog this AM!!!
I will admit to being a big fan of McCain's, insofar as his military record goes. He is a true soldier, and no one in his right mind would ever question his military career.
Which explains why Weasley Clark does, I suppose. In his quest for an additional fifteen minutes of fame, this spit-shined poser exposes himself for the suck-up he really is.
Maybe he is "jockeying" for a spot in Jimmah's entourage....

Great post, as usual,
Nothing in it that I can disagree with. When I worked in a factory, we had a nickname for those with weasley's qualifications. They were all 'needledicks, bug_uckers'
On a better note. If you can't hug the vets and military, please thank them this Independence holiday. A most sincere thank you to all those who are and have served. If you can feel it, I just hugged my computer. To those who have lost loved ones, you are always in my thoughts and prayers.
Happy Independence Day. Fly those flags proudly!

Nicely put Gunny
McCain's military service is about the only thing about him worth a d*mn. Clark is a pogue*ssed "Remington Raider". He spends a few weeks in the field getting his "trigger time" chop and is unlucky enough to get dinged. All the rest is what was referred to as the standard "Company Commanders Package". Nothing to see here folks!
When will somebody put a stop to letting these "rear with the gear" paper shufflers play soldier will real grunts. Libocr*ps actually think these hacks are real soldiers.

I worked at the Balkans Combined Air Operations Center (BCAOC) via 5ATAF during the entire Kosovo conflict. Yes…I am one of those dreaded USAF NATO staff pukes. However, I’m also a prior-enlisted USMC 0351. I’m equally proud of both.
In the BCAOC I served as Deputy Current Ops and pulled shifts on the battlestaff floor during air operations in Kosovo and Serbia. I was exposed to the inner workings of Allied Force and the scuttlebutt that accompanies all such endeavors.
The first point you make concerning the race to Pristina is well documented. It scared the crap out of most of us and was considered ludicrous at the time. And the unofficial comments from the four GO battlestaff commanders (three US one Italian) was less than glowing. You can figure out there names with a little Googling.
As for the remainder of your Clark evaluation; there may be some truth there, but I wouldn’t know. More importantly, it’s not about what he did or didn’t do years ago. He now commands the same amount of respect from the Army, as Murtha does from the Marines and Kerry does from the Navy. That says it all.
A side note: I later met the Russian one-star commander providing “security” for the Pristina airport. He didn’t approve of Clark either

Good one, Gunny
I didn't know much about the silly twit Clark other than he, obviously, thinks he's a pretty boy. Clark, Kerry, Gore, and Murtha all served our country equally well, not at all. They are in the same category with Jeremiah Wright. They are all a disgrace to the service.
Always enjoy you, though I don't post.
Good 4th to you, Sir.

Thank You Gunny!
This "Perfumed Prince" is running around in spit shined boots HE didn't spit shine. And he is as likely as not to put some front line grunt on report for NOT having HIS boots in the same condition.
My time in Viet Nam was short and I never got shot at but I rate a chest full of medals that mean doodly squat. I always figured these medals were designed and self awarded by your "Perfumed Princes" to impress folks at the cocktail partys and social functions they attend while the real soldiers get their azs shot off. I think the practice started in WWII England where there were more "PP's" than real soldiers in London...
Speaking of Hanoi John and his "heroic" service... Isn't it funny John knew the '3 Purple Hearts and Home' reg and nobody else knew it? When his suspicious SUPERFICIAL 'wounds' acquired under suspicious conditions are examined it would be a just conclusion that he went with the purpose of collecting 3 SUPERFICIAL wounds and coming home so he could run for office as an anti-war hero with credibility. Those Swift Boat Vets didn't need torpedoes to sink his campaign... The guy is definitely a "Perfumed Prince".

John Murtha...Another "Perfumed Prince"
My cousin, a graduate of The School and 35 years in the Corps said Murtha wouldn't make a pimple on a Marine's azs.
I ask him if Murtha didn't disprove the old adage of , "Once a Marine, Always a Marine". The answer was Murtha never was a Marine.
And, yeah, he's got a chest full of decorations. The same ones I have.
"Perfumed Prince"... Damn peacocks. Been around since the invention of war.

Happy Fourth, Gunny!
Sorry I've been away for so long.
I especially noted InTheKnow's comments, here. Certainly, serving on a staff or in rear echelon duty is not, by itself, something to be ashamed of. Good, professional staffwork can be a vital component in achieving victory. Nor did you say otherwise. Career motivation is the story in what separates a staff officer like Wesley Clark from someone like, say, Dwight D. Eisenhower.
Clark did, as career officers say, "punch his ticket" in the right sequences. That, by itself, is not necessarily a vice. But it's also true that Clark never went that "extra mile" either. Like most "office politicians", he was show over substance, with the goal of getting ahead- by whatever means- as his chief motiviation. Troops sense this in an officer. So do other officers whose motives are more traditional and honorable.
Of course, combat leadership- especially on the tactical level- is where you see ability and character at its best. On both the tactical and strategic levels, Clark was lackluster. Eisenhower, in comparison, never commanded as much as a battalion in combat- not because he avoided it, but because he was too valuable in staff and training duties. But, unlike Clark, his motivations were correct and his instincts of leadership sound. Combined with his staff experience, he thus proved the best man to command the European Theater in WWII. Men respected him and would follow him.
It all comes down to inspired and committed leadership. That's what separates the true officer from the "swivel chair hussar"... no matter how much swivel-time he may have had previously! Ike had it. Clark just keeps on swivelling... in circles.

Thank God the Brit commander at the airport refused to listen to this fool & start WW III w/ the Russian's.

Bingo. Ike did the right thing when it counted. For example, he went on the 6th of June even went the weather sucked. Weasely Clark would have waited, risking the troop's lives and defeat.

They sound like similar types.
I too don't like McCain's politics; but even his grandfather would have been proud of his service record.
Clark is a typical "officers club commando" or a "brown-noser" who proves the Peter Principle (A*sholes generally rise to their highest level of incompetence).
Sgt Relic nailed it: "When will somebody put a stop to letting these "rear with the gear" paper shufflers play soldier will real grunts. Libocr*ps actually think these hacks are real soldiers."
I hope you had a great 4th Gunny. I flew my flag and even got to tell a WW2 vet thanks during the holiday.

I have less respect for Clark than I do for my current senior chief, and he has done more than anybody to put my career in the toilet (he's one of the main reasons I didn't get selected for Chief a week ago). Clark wouldn't know a quality military man if he was pointed out by God himself.

It seems you are basing you whole argument on Reagan not ending the Cold War. To say that is "correct" but not correct. He forced the Soviets to overspend their budget which caused their downfall. So while you can claim there was no outside pressure, there surely was from Reagan.

Nice theory... but no go. Great events in history (and great victories) don't "just happen". They come about from leadership, vision and determination. The revisionary view of history that you offer is not "libertarian", but comes directly from the think tanks of the left. The giant image of Ronald Reagan is the single most uplifting legacy in recent American history. They (and, apparently, you) are forced into combatting it constantly and by whatever means.
