As a vet it irks me when I hear folks complain about this general being a Clinton appointee.

So Wesley Clarke became supreme NATO commander on his own merits?

My point was that presidents don't get elected then hire their own personal generals from outside the military. You know, like appointing a cabinet member. The generals have served in the military for decades before they are selected for different commands based on their career paths and areas of expertise.

Does Wesley Clark have any merits left he can claim honorable? Seem to recall he was SNAFU as a NATO Commander.
