As you can see from other threads on this topic, I try to maintain accuracy on these issues. It will only help Clark if those who present his dark side can be marginalized as liars or kooks. Clark ordered Sir Mike Jackson to take his troops and secure the airfield at Pristina before the Russians who had taken the terminal could be reinforced. He ordered them to block the runway so the Russians couldn't land planes. This was the order the received the "WWIII" reply. He didn't order anyone to attack Russian troops. If he did that, Jackson should've shot him.

As I've also posted, it is not wise to hold up Jackson as a paragon of virtue standing up to Clark's craziness. He is one evil son of a bitch.
