I haven't forgotten Clark's order to deploy combat helicopters into the Yugo mountains to hunt for tanks during the Kosovo war. They were to go in solo, with no ground support, which would make them sitting ducks for hand held AA missiles in that rugged and heavily wooded terrain. Thank goodness they never actually deployed, although the fallout from slow deployment is probably why we have the Stryker mess today. What a maroon.

Don't forget his orders to have the Brits sieze the airfield from the Russians. That could have got messy.
I've heard some say he's brilliant. IMHO he's over-rated.
