That was STUPID by Clark. As a fellow officer that offends me greatly. If I serve honorably and do my duty but then get out after completing my obligation I am less great than you. Hello! Love or hate kerry he did other things that Clark didn't. I don't agree one bit with Kerry's anti-war stances and if Clark would have went after him on that ok, but Kerry is a decorated vet too and LT, General whatever, would a decorated enlisted person be less worthy under this Clark scenario?
But I guess Clark is known for not caring about the lower ranks anyway, so it fits.
My military candidate is better than your military candidate...
Clark, who didn't compete in Iowa, told campaign workers in Manchester, N.H., that Kerry, a decorated former Navy officer, had a military background "but nobody in this race has got the kind of background I've got."
"It's one thing to be a hero as a junior officer. He's done that, I respect that," Clark said. "But I've got the military experience at the top as well as at the bottom."
