To me, it seems a strange process indeed which would permit a career military man to turn into a total pantywaist. Beats hell outta me. I don't get it. I guess there are misfits in every outfit; I just can't explain it. It sort of reminds me of theologians who don't believe anything.
Clark advanced in his career by being a politician, not because of his military aptitude. He never had any military core values, he was just a people-pleaser. It's a pretty sad commentary on the state of the senior military these days.
