General Clark Says How Very Important The Right For Vet To Salute, Really Is.

[Stretch]

On Msnbc:

General Clark is questioned on what he would do to help suffering Vets. Don't think you are going to like the answer.

There is a 15 second commercial before the news clip start automatically.

It's nothing new for vets to be low on the nations shopping list.

It's usually below the toilet paper somewhere.

We have to face it. There are some priorities that need to be worked out of this mess before we see the funding to fix any of it, including Veterans benefits.

Giving banks billions to buy more banks, doesn't seem like a good start to me. But what do I know. Maybe giving away all our operating money is just what we need.

Sen Patty Murray would be my choice for Sec of Veterans Affairs.

In this interview, it's definately sounding like Wes Clark as the Politician has forgotten his roots as the soldier . . . and I am sorry to say it. After watching this, I'd never want to see him as a VA Secretary. ~Wings

The hypocrisy of this all is that General Clark's little story about being in the hospital with a Veteran that lost his right arm, most certainly would not be thrilled with saluting the American flag as it passes by.

In fact the Veteran would be reminded of what was taken from him and not replaced. Only to be given a simple patriot gesture in return for his life with both arms.

Every time you watch this you will get more disturbed. This Mr. Clark, has truly forgotten something.

you know talking about the guy that lost the arm.first he is a

hero. but guys like this just coming back do have high expectations

and i hope he can achieve his goals.but a lot of guys haven't had enough

time for the reality to set in ,and the raging effects of ptsd. i admire the

guy for wanting to do something with his life and hope he accomplishes all

of his goals. if i had come back without an arm and a general sat down

with me i would have said the same thing,the guy is vulnerable at this point.

what about five or ten years down the road ,how is he going to feel?

and good grief, talking about saluting the flag and a man who lost that

arm to salute the flag? i mean somebody was not thinking. the guy may

do well i hope so , but not all will fall in that catagory.

I respect Clarks's military service he accomplished quite a bit. But I he is still a skunk... something about him has never set right with me, it started when he couldn't decide if he was a republican or a democrat, than chose the latter because he thought he could win the Presidency....

And I am not the only one who thinks this guy has problems, General Hugh Shelton , former charman of the Joint chief of staff, relieved him of duty in 2000. Just read what others really think of his four star wonder.

He retired soon after he was relieved. We don't hear too much about this but when a General is relieved his career is ended.

As far as saluting the flag.. Vwterans could always salute the flag.. we do it at veteran organizations all the time, and some salute the flag in a parade. Congress can't give what is already our right, all they can do is agree it was our right.
