Yeah, Right, Whatever

Wesley Crusher Clark (US Army, Retired) is whining about the latest BRAC list.

Retired Army Gen. Wesley Clark said Saturday that the Pentagon's plan to close military bases around the country and reorganize troops will isolate the military from the American people and the rest of the world. Clark said the plan to pull U.S. forces back home from abroad and centralize bases takes jobs away from smaller towns.

"We're losing influence abroad when we bring those troops home, and we lose the interaction with America when we create these super bases," Clark said in a speech to the Arkansas Associated Press Managing Editors Association.

I know I'm just guessing here, but... what would you want to bet that if they hadn't called for all those closures and re-alignments, that Gen. Clark would be whining about how much money is being wasted on the military, and there need to be changes in the structure of the military? He's just one of those guys who really likes to complain... especially if he thinks it can make President Bush look bad.
