Wes was NATO Commander and running things in Kosovo, when for one of the very first times we worked directly with Russian troops in a peace-keeping role. Gen. Clark inaugurated our inaugural operation with a new ally, by ordering a British General to militarily interdict the Russians as they attempted to occupy the airport they believed they were to safeguard and operate from. Wes had other ideas and absent Gen. Mike Jackson of the British Army, he would have picked a fight with a country we had just ended 40 years of Cold War with.

One month later Wes was relieved and put out to pasture, rightfully so. Some of this was relayed to me by a person who was there but most is public knowledge.

Crazy thing is that James Blunt was the Recon leader who told Clarke "No" and was backed up by the top British General Mike Jackson. Today Blunt is a falsetto voiced British pop singer.



Its not my kind of music but you get the idea.

He doesn't look like much but he's the real deal soldier who grew up in a strong military family.

Westly the Weasel, aka the Butch of Belgrade, was also the last US general to deliberately target and kill civilians. This was OK because the civilians were Christians, who were defending themselves against the invading musselman SS Albanian troops.
