"Of course, even your dissembling in this post does not support your false claim that Clark ordered anyone to "open fire" on Russians."

Then you know nothing of military operations. The order to storm the airport by definition meant to take it by force, i.e. open fire on those who held it (in this case, the Russians who were already there).

Then you know nothing of the facts. There was no order to "storm" any occupied position. None. It didn't happen.

For reasons I don't care to get into here, I was watching the situation very closely that day - and I remember well how it came down, at least as reported. Nothing I have seen since contradicts that, except for a bunch of yayhoos who want to mischaracterize the exchange between Clark and Jackson.

Not even Jackson supports your version of the story. But I'm sure that won't stop you from repeating it over and over.
