The Perfumed Prince
Coming Soon to New England Republican! A look at Weird Wesley Clark!
The suspense finally got to me. Where have the Clintons been keeping Weird Wes’ since the last Presidential go-round? Well, apparently Wes’ has been on the lefty lecture circuit, piling up about $40 Large a year yammering about the World To Come when people like him are back in charge.
I mean,you’d think a a guy who bombs Christian and Muslim civilians, orders air strikes on the CNN Belgrade Bureau, demands that Brit soldiers slaughter 200 Russian soldiers, sends Armor to Waco to burn up about 90 religious fanatics, speaks out of both sides of a pinched button-hole shaped mouth, uses hair pomade by the gallon, and now demands censorship of stuff he doesn’t want to hear….well, that guy would be a Conservative!
Well, uh uh! Clark’s a Hillary-style liberal when it matters, and something else when he opens his mouth unattended. Therefore, both left and right are baffled by this brass jackass, and it isn’t because he’s complicated. He’s just weird.
There are two commissioned officers posting here at New England Republican and one enlisted man. I’m the enlisted man, and I don’t want to trespass on their territory. But I’m puzzled by a closed system that can raise a middling human being like Weird Wes’ to power. I figured that I’d better look into it.

Weird Wes is about as batty as the Georgia peanut farmer, who drove gray nuke powered thingies around the ocean.
The scrambled eggs on the hat interfere with the bozone sine waves somehow I guess.
Field grade to Flag, once up there, nobody from the lower positions can tell you you’re not wearing any pants.
Mostly weird and unqualified people were promoted in the general ranks during Slick’s rein. One or two good men slipped through, the rest are losers.
I forgot. Most of the general promotions required the ability to stick their head up a Clinton’s a**, didn’t matter which one, and yodel a tune.
Scrap:
Exactly. Clark got two stars from Clinton, until the day that they couldn’t stand him. To be cashiered by Clinton for suspected character issues is some kind of record.
Clark is in deep, like the Clintons, with the Arkansas sleazoids, but his shining achievement is Waco. So far he’s denied it, but the armor for Waco came from Fort Hood, where Clark was the CG. You don’t get the following stuff, (reported as “there” by the Treasury Dept for the ATF) from a butter bar as S-4:
15 Active Duty Personnel
13 National Guard
9 Bradley Fighting Vehicles
5 Combat Engineer Vehicles
1 Tank Retrieval Vehicle
2 Abrams Tanks
Remember, Waco was for “the children”. Reno and Hillary’s favorite cause. They were determined to give those Waco children a better life, either in this world or the next one.
Don’t forget your nomenclature form troop!
Did Koresh have a battalion of 109 SP howitzers in covert firing positions? Perhaps that explains why the following were requested:
Vehicle, Bradley fighting 9ea.
Tank, Main Battle, M1A1 2ea.
Vehicle,Combat Engineer 5ea.
For what in hell was he going to use the Vehicle, Tank Retrieval, 1ea. Was that the supply vehicle for the morning coffee run; or did Ole Wes have had a sneaky move laid on like running down any escapees from the burning building.
Understood, Capt. 1ea. It’s believed there were two officers from Fort Hood present at Waco, Col Gerald Boykin and someone you might know - Gen Peter Schoomaker from behind the fence at Bragg.
I wondered too about all that steel. Especially Tank Retrieval.
Schoomaker’s TO & E didn’t have those toys. Stuff like that doesn’t get moved by anyone with less weight than the tanks.
However if Reno wanted that show of force, she had the ear of the CiC. That’s sufficient weight.
The tank retreiver probably went along as part of the maintenance package for all of that other equipment. Once one of the iron shooters gets stuck (or breaks) then the wrench guys step in.

LL, thanks for your service.
Hey, I heard that the M1 has two extra crew members whose MOS was to floss and water pic the track. Sorta keep them from going flat.
Hotspur won’t know about that; carrying the PRC 75 gave him the MOS of target.
The Pri*k 25, VW. Wonderful little device. Armor in its own way. But you’re right. I don’t know nothin’ ’bout armor.
…which reminds me. Body armor? What’s that? I didn’t even wear a helmet most of the time, and the flotation device called a “flak vest” I inherited from a lucky guy wouldn’t have stopped a playing card.
I think those vests were designed to slow the round down so it hurt more. The pot wasn’t going to stop anything; they gave them to the Marines so they could cover a live grenade when landing on it up ala “The Duke.”
If you put on all the crap they gave you and you fell over, it took two guys to get you upright again.
Tiger stripes, boonie hat and freeballing in the bush, what a life!
Tiger stripes? ROK gear, huh?
I wasn’t about to go into the bush in #106 OD fatigues. When I got over there, troops were still wearing white T’s and white name strips and black & gold U.S.Army strips. I was just a butter bar, but I wasn’t stupid. That stuff was like blaze orange.
We got the jungles about two months after I arrived, and it took some time for the boots. We wore leathers. Their idea of subdued uniforms was green tape on belt buckles and dog tags. The locals dyed to T’s and skivvies for us. Also carried an M-14 for six months. As the man said, you go to war with the Army you have. I’d have thought that SF would have been treated differently.
The SF has always been the redheaded child of the services. None of the regular branches want(ed) anything to do with them. Schwartzkopf pushed them away during the gulf war. In the Nam, every class A brass hatted REMF gave us grief for being out of uniform, carrying unauthorized weapons or not wearing insignia of rank. The only time it was humorous, a newly minted 2nd LT would brace me for the SOS. I’d wait just until his underwear got twisted, them…
So far as I can tell from talking to my nephews, nothing has changed.
