Wesley Clark Wesley Clark has the most impressive resume of any candidate since, well, Bill Clinton -- first in his class at West Point, Rhodes Scholar, Masters in Economics at Oxford, decorated veteran, 4-star general, commander of NATO forces during the war in Kosovo. By all accounts, he is very bright, very energetic, and -- many people say -- also brusque, arrogant, and prone to piss people off. Is he Clinton without the scandals, or another over-achieving bundle of trouble from Arkansas?
In any case, he is also, apparently, brave. Besides the fact that he actively served in the military, was wounded, received several medals and rose to the top of the ranks, we have the anecdotes of Richard Holbrooke, the former Ambassador to the United Nations and before that Clark's boss at the Dayton Peace Accord negotiations.

Holbrooke says that he dared Wesley Clark and Joe Kruzel to dive into the Adriatic Sea from the 3rd story window of their hotel in Split, Croatia, and both did. He also tells of a severe car crash on the dangerous road to Sarajevo, where a car full of American negotiators went off the road, fell several hundred feet down a gorge, and burned, igniting lots of ammunition in the car. Clark rappelled down amidst the flames and bullets and rescued two people (2 others died.)
