THE COMMANDER IS ALWAYS RESPONSIBLE!

Except that Clark was not the commander, not present, had no operational role and was only involved as the commander of a unit at Fort Hood that was tasked by its higher HQ to provide some equipment and training.

Clark is arrogant, self-promoting, and integrity-deficient. But he had nothing to do with Waco.

Then why is he casting around for support to DENY it?

Me thinks he doth protest too much.

You may be correct, but as the 'commander' of the 1st Cav Division, Clark sent his ADC(M)or(S) to Waco, in addition to the equipment with Clark's full support and authority. If Schoomaker was ADC(S) [Support] then there should not be a problem. If Schoomaker was ADC(M)[Manuever], a serious question arises in my mind if several laws were broken. Clearly III Corps tasked 1st Cav to support the FBI. There seems to be a question if LTG Funk or Taylor was in charge .... there is the "chance" that the CG of Hood was gone and Clark "took charge"..... I'm just speculating.
