Let’s face it: Melissa Harris-Perry and most Proggies are just despicable human beings.

Jackson, a combat vet unlike Clark, went on to take become chief of the general staff (equivalent of chairman of the Joint Chiefs).

Clark was rotated out of his NATO post early and later made a bid to become the Democrat Presidential Candidate – arguably a role he was more suited to than being a combat commander.

Don’t forget the Perfumed Prince, Wes Clark. AKA the General who nearly started World War 3.

Ah yes that was truly a high point in American warfighting when the British lead told Clark he simply wouldn’t obey his order because he thought Clark was a fricken dangerous idiot.

Very true.

But the most recent stats show that at least when it comes to officers, conservatives still outnumber progressives 7 to 1. In the enlisted ranks however, it’s now nearly a 50-50 split. Which is a huge change from just 20 years ago. Del Dolemonte on January 27, 2013 at 12:09 PM

That’s a lie, progressives despise the military they don’t control. When they do control the military they use it on everyone that disagrees with them. See Stalin, Mao Zedong, Castro, and whichever Kim is running North Korea. Jane Fonda, an arch-progressive, fervently supported the North Vietnamese army.

For some reason people are easily duped into believing leftist memes.

Progressives are enraptured by death and humiliation of those who don’t agree with their total authoritarianism.

There are a lot of progressives IN the military at all levels. Which way do you reckon Powell, Petraeus, and McChrystal lean?
