"This is the way it works in the Navy, if you're the captain of a ship, and it runs aground, they only ask two questions: Did it run aground, and were you the captain?" he explained. "If the answer is yes to both, you're fired."

When a then-Lt. Nimitz ran his old destroyer, the Decauter, ashore in the Philipines, he was court-martialed and then given another command. He didn't get fired, and went on to become one of our greatest wartime military leaders. Clark is just jealous.

Weasley Clark should know a thing or two about being fired from the military.
