"Of course, they did mention that he almost started WW III, because he didn't want the Russians beating to an Airport." I remember that being discussed a lot on FR. That story was horrifying.

Yeah, Clark was perfectly willing to risk WWIII because his feelings were hurt when the Russians reached an airport before he did. Fortunately, British General Jackson flat out REFUSED to obey Clark when ordered to sieze the airport from the Russians. Wesley Clark---Perfectly willing to see the world plunged into a radioactive nightmare just for the sake of saving face over some small airport nobody ever heard about.
