    "President Trump receives well-deserved criticism for failing to serve his country in Vietnam," Clark, a highly-decorated general who served as the former Supreme Allied Commander of NATO under President Clinton, wrote in an op-ed for USA Today

    Yet, given the lack of loyalty to the troops he has displayed in recent months, that might have been for the best," Clark added. "Were he in A Company back then, he wouldn't have charged across that bridge - he would have hung back and let the rest of us fend for ourselves. I and the others might never have made it home."

    Basically he called Trump a yellow belly, a coward and someone who never put the needs of the country ahead of his one. Just short of a Benedict Arnold reload

    Nobody ever called him too yellow to serve, or too selfish to sacrifice.

    He was just incredibly stupid.

    When he ran for president he said he wanted the U.S. to "be like Switzerland".

    He also suggested rewilding the American west with large mammals so that when all the large mammals in Africa and Asia went extinct that the American west would be a new tourist destination for safaris

    Actually, lots of us did, and have. He was a disgrace to the uniform. His ego almost cost thousands of soldiers under his command their lives for the glorification of his own ego.

    Gen Wesley Clark is a liberal hack first, general second. I was sick of hearing him 25, 30 years ago and now he wants more limelight.

    Link us to the act of cowardice and selfishness in his military file
    I thought ego something you guys worshiped and honored above all else in public service or you would never have voted Trump into office. His ego has certainly cost us lives.
