Re: “At best, he is a yellow-bellied coward.”

Wesley Clark was wounded in action in Vietnam and he got a Silver Star, so he cannot be called a coward. He is a genuine hero like Adolf Hitler, who earned an Iron Cross during the First World War, and like Benedict Arnold. It is what Clark, Hitler, and Arnold did after their honorable and heroic service that writes them down in history as villains while making people forget their heroism. In Clark’s case, his disparagement of a fellow veteran’s service for political gain reflects badly on his own character.

I left out Timothy McVeigh, another decorated Vietnam veteran. Mass murderer yes, but coward no.

My point is that a decorated veteran is entitled to respect for what he did during the war (and he cannot be called a coward), but it does not entitle him to commit mass murder, treason, or genocide (McVeigh, Benedict Arnold, and Hitler respectively), nor does Wesley Clark’s Silver Star entitle him to smear a fellow veteran while pandering for Barack Obama.

I was not aware that he actually earned his stripes. I'd just assumed that he was a Clintonista appointee. Thank you for setting the record straight.

He still isn't worthy to wipe McCain's butt.
