Has there ever been a major candidate as completely inept as Wesley Clark? I personally can’t stand John Kerry or most of what he stands for, but this comment by Clark is way out of bounds,
It’s one thing to be a hero as a junior officer. He’s done that, I respect that. But I’ve got the military experience at the top as well as at the bottom.
Don’t worry, though, by tomorrow Clark will have changed his mind about junior officer heroes, too.
Update: Originally this story implied that Clark, unlike Kerry, had not been awarded a Silver Star. In fact, Clark earned a Silver Star for his heroic actions during a firefight in Vietnam.
