Wes Clark took the mic and tried to explain what had just occurred: The argument appears to be that you’re not allowed to participate in politics while wearing a uniform, or at least that you shouldn’t, and that the questioner was engaging in a sort of moral blackmail, not to mention a violation of the rules, by doing so.

Yuh, right, Wes. I don't think soldiers are forbidden to correct an incorrect statement. They are just not allowed to get into partisan politics.

Interesting how they set that up, though, huh? They can lie with impunity, but someone with first hand knowledge of the situation is not allowed to counter their lies.
