Maybe those purple hearts were from getting shot by his own charges?

Yeah, that's likely. Get that from Rush or just employing his tactics?

According to reports, he was not an admired general in the Losovo campaign
as well as almost starting WW III with the Russians over an airport.

He wasn't appreciated because he leapfrogged people in a system that, like
the Unions you dittoheads love to hate, often uses seniority in promotions.

He was promoted by the Generals who recognized his brilliance. There's no
substance to the WWIII comments. It's pure bluster since what he suggested
was never carried out. No one can predict the outcomes of things that don't
happen, unless of course, it's Republicans talking about how Al Gore
would've blown up the world by now.

Further, Clark recommended ground troops instead of bombing Kosovo from
15,000 ft. because he knew there'd be civiilian casualties. They didn't
take his advice and many civilians lost their lives.
