Reply #5: Military does not = military industrial complex

[DrBB]

Dunno if I should weigh in since I'm sending money to several candidates and so far committed to none.

But you evidently suffer a confusion about the military and the MIC. Having a distinguished military career and being a tool of the MIC are not the same thing. Apparently I have to point out that the person who coined the term for the latter was in fact one of the most distinguished examples of the former: Dwight D. Eisenhower.

I'd add to that the fact that Clark is an intellectual--a Rhodes Scholar and top of his class at West Point--and from everything I've read rather more liberal than most of those currently running. Rather to the left of Dean, in fact.

I'm sure many many others will fill in, but there's a start.
