I generally refrain from making statements on anything remotely partisan, but, whether one agrees with Wesley Clark or not, I think Four Star General Wesley Clark, with his military service to the United States of America, has earned the right to express his opinion:
Not only did he serve in Vietnam as well, but Wesley Clark is one of our most decorated military officers since WWII. He led the forces which pacified Kosovo and stopped a genocide.
From his
web site: "
Clark is a four-star general who has been awarded the Silver Star, five Defense Distinguished Service Medals, four Legion of Merit Awards, two Army Distinguished Service Medals, two Bronze Star Medals and the Purple Heart.
In addition to numerous civilian honors, General Clark has received more than 20 major international awards including honorary Knighthoods from the British and Dutch governments and was made a Commander of the French Legion of Honor."
He may be right or wrong about his opinion. But all Americans have a guaranteed right to express most of our opinions, even if they are unpopular ones. Wesley Clark said nothing libelous, nor did he yell fire in a crowded a theatre. And, with his military record, Wesley Clark may have a little extra right to express his opinion on this subject. He earned it.
