4-Star Generals do not issue orders to company/squadron level officers in the field. If such an order were issued (doubtful), it would have been issued by Clark to both the tactical commander and to the senior British Commander. Whatever orders Capt. Song Boy got were received from his Squadron Commander (Major) or Regimental Commander (Lt. Col.)
I have known Wes Clark for years. He is an A$$hole 1st Class with diamonds and oak leaves, so I’m not trying to protect his sorry reputation. But, this story is hitting about 9.5 on the smell meter.
