I am hoping that the military doesn't close ranks on Clark, and speaks the truth.

The military won't matter. The press will close ranks and not permit the truth to be spoken about the general.

I hope they do, too. For an apolitical animal like Shelton to come out against Clark, must mean something....

Well, no worries about General Shelton on that count:

"What do you think of General Wesley Clark and would you support him as a presidential candidate," was the question put to him by moderator Dick Henning, assuming that all military men stood in support of each other. (yeah, not like they'd have minds of their own or anything) General Shelton took a drink of water and Henning said, "I noticed you took a drink on that one!" "That question makes me wish it were vodka," said Shelton. (Oh, my!) "I've known Wes for a long time. I will tell you the reason he came out of Europe early had to do with integrity and character issues, things that are very near and dear to my heart. I'm not going to say whether I'm a Republican or a Democrat. I'll just say Wes won't get my vote."

In the civilian world, if your former boss doesn't have a good word to say about you, it tends to hurt your future prospects.

I hope the military is so horrified at the thought of commander in chief Clark that they speak out enmass.
