I read that you were wounded in action during the Vietnam War, so you doubtlessly appreciate far better than I how easy it is to get unlucky in combat. You and your fellow veteran both had bad luck in Vietnam, and McCain’s luck happened to be somewhat worse than yours. Suppose the luck had gone a little differently: McCain was shot down and injured but rescued by American forces while the enemy wounded you seriously enough to discharge you from the service as a decorated but disabled junior officer. Instead of being put on career hold while he was tortured by the enemy, John McCain might now be a retired admiral like his father and grandfather while you were a relatively anonymous white collar professional. I am quite frankly uncomfortable in writing a letter of this nature to a genuine hero, but you ought to think about the phrase “There but for the grace of God go I” before you use a fellow veteran’s (and hero’s) bad luck to belittle his service record for pure political gain (whether on your behalf or another’s).
I will conclude by adding that the individual–I won’t call him a man–whom you are promoting was, per his own book “Dreams From My Father,” smoking pot and embracing Black Nationalism at about the same age at which John McCain got into that fighter plane, joined you in putting his life on the line for our country, and got shot down and tortured for his efforts.

This will surely backfire on Clark. This is truly sickening and makes me like McCain more than I did - for him to have to endure this kind of disgusting politics.
Clinton’s Butcher of Serbia denounces a REAL war hero.
Remember, this is the guy who conducted high altitude bombings of Serbian civilians in order to hand over Kosovo to the Islamofacists.
At best, he is a yellow-bellied coward. At worst, he is a war criminal.
He ain't worthy to kiss McCain's butt. And I'm saying that as a guy who doesn't like McCain.
Apparently you get elected to the Senate in MA.
Wesley Clark is only interested in being serviced.
Yes there is.
But ... “Chicken” Wesley is no longer in the military. He is not divulging critical information, so he is free to make such remarks.
Having said that, he is a loathsome, disgusting coward. In other words, a typical Liberal.
sssh....Gen.Clark.......the butcher of Belgrade...speaks
Clark got fired by Clinton because he wanted to attack the Russians during the Yugoslavian invasion.

This is a major campaign mistake by the democrat party. Luckily they are so blind that I don’t think they even know yet that have made a mistake here. Keep it coming Clark. ;o)
(“I don’t think getting in a fighter plane and getting shot down is a qualification to become president.”)
Neither is being a butthole Clark, but that didn’t stop you from running at one time..........
“I don’t think getting in a fighter plane and getting shot down is a qualification to become president.” ...............................LOL! But getting rice grains pulled out of your butt for a 3rd Purple Heart is? Clark oobviously likes politics, I would guess thats how he became a general.
“I don’t think getting in a fighter plane and getting shot down is a qualification to become president.”
A former General who doesn’t know the difference between a Fighter aircraft and an Attack aircraft. No wonder he didn’t have a clue in the Balkans.
Wesley Clark: Scumbag liberal that almost started WWIII.
