Clark loses a coin challenge

[Catch22Dem]

For those of you who aren't familiar with the military, it is customary to carry your unit coin around with you at all times. Usually, these are large, ornate coins with some kind of unit logo on them. Now, if anyone comes up to you and produces their coin, you're expected to do the same. If you don't have your coin, you owe a round of drinks.

In the WesCam video #3, Clark is at a VFW post on Veteran's Day and is challenged by the VFW Color Guard. Wes doesn't have a coin with him, so he says, "I guess I owe y'all a beer then." Needless to say, he buys a beer for the entire color guard and himself and they toast and drink together.

I know this won't mean anything to a lot of you, but to me and my Air Force buddies, this is something really special. Oh, the beer was Samuel Adams by the way. Not a bad choice!

1. LOL!

Always good to bust on a 4 Star General for not having his coin. What kind of coin would he have for being SACEUR?

Clark still has my vote in 04!

5. Clark seems like a pretty good guy

I'm learning more about what went wrong during the Clinton administration and I'd like to see Clark read Greg Palast's book. If anyone is planning to see him, consider giving Clark a copy. It might change his position on a few issues.
