LTG (ret) Paul Funk has already come forward--in fact, IIRC his
less-than-laudatory review of Clark came out before Hugh Shelton's did. In
the same article (again, IIRC, it was written by that fellow Galloway who
has a pretty good rep on the military side) a number of other former senior
officers had nothing good to say about him, but were unwilling to go public
until/unless he were to start winning. One of them said if that happens
he'll volunteer to follow Clark to every campaign location to "set the
record straight", so to speak.

On a different aviation message board (flightinfo.com), someone who worked
under Clark at SOCOM related a story about Clark.

"Wesley Clark is an A$$hole
I worked for General Clark when he was the Commander in Chief, U.S. Southern
Command. Both he and his wife were a$$holes. Clark would stab a subordinate in
the back in a heartbeat if it would further his ambitions. His wife Gert also
felt she was entitled to his 4 stars and liked to bully the staff officers.

I arranged one of his military/diplomatic trips in the Carribbean. He wanted
his wife to accompany him on government funding. The JAG (lawyers) said the
itinerary did not justify his wife's travel so it would have to be paid out of
Clark's own pocket, or the itinerary would have to be expanded to include
diplomatic/social type events justifying Gert's presence. I was told to revamp
the itinerary which I did. The JAG approved of the new one, but when I started
actually setting up the events, I got my head handed to me on a platter. It
seems the plan was just to justify her trip, not actually have the events. That
would take away from Gert's shopping and sight-seeing time. I threatened to
whistleblow and Gert decided she'd rather not go than attend any events.
General Clark had a cow and summoned me to his ivory palace for a butt-chewing
and to tell me of my minor importance compared to him. The only reason I did
not call the Pentagon IG after this meeting was the Deputy CINC, a Navy 2 star
and a great guy, personally asked me not too. He arranged for me to have a new
(and actually better) postion within the command where I would not be put in
this situation again.

This guy has no integrity or compassion. He does not care about anyone or
anything but himself. Some of the traits of great military leaders are
protecting their subordinates, giving them credit, and getting them promoted.
General Clark ruined more careers covering his own butt than any general or
flag officer I know. He could care less about their getting promoted and was a
master at taking credit for their work while simultaneously making it look like
they were all f'd-up and only his greatnessed turned a pile of $hit into a pot
of gold.

The vast majority of those who worked for General Clark hated and diepised him.
It would be a sad day for this country if he got elected President."

Seem consistent with others descriptions of Clark. If the next primary does
not go well for Clark, he might just end up being the only person ever
dismissed twice by Bill Clinton.
