Although that is an excellent further indication of his character, I don't believe that was what General Shelton was talking about. He was home BEFORE he go the medal.

In fact, Clark received the very first of the newly minted medals during his retirement ceremony June 23, 2000, presided over by Army Chief of Staff Gen. Eric Shinseki.

Now, doesn't it strike anyone here that General Weasely Cluck was the Supreme Commander of NATO and the Commander of EUCOM, but the then Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, General Hugh Shelton, did not preside over his retirement ceremony?

Shinseki is virulently against the reformation that Rumsfeld wants. He is the General who was feeding Clark and Hackworth all the negative stuff during the war......most if not all of which proved to be WRONG.
