![]() snip "I've known Wes for a long time. I will tell you the reason he came out of Europe early had to do with integrity and character issues, things that are very near and dear to my heart. I'm not going to say whether I'm a Republican or a Democrat. I'll just say Wes won't get my vote." Gen. Hugh Shelton, Former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and Clark's former boss Not getting involved in the actual discussion here, but, a point of order. The CJCS is not the "boss" of the CINCs of the Unified Commands, one of whom was Wesley Clark as CINCEUR. The CJCS is not in their chain of command. The chain of command for the Unified Commanders runs from the President to the SECDEF to them. The CJCS is the military adviser to the President and commands nobody but his staff. Any Unified CINC can and often does speak directly to the President and/or SECDEF without anything more than a ""CC" to the CJCS. That's the law (Goldwater-Nichols DoD Reorganization Act of 1986). In practice, it may be less cut and dried, but that is the letter of the law. JB |
