Also if I interpreted General Clark's demeanor right, he wasn't very happy with having any of his troops or equipment involved. The way he spoke of it at the time, I got the distinct impression he felt it was necessary for the safety of Waco residents to have a little extra strength on the perimeter.

Part of the reason I now remember it so well is because Waco happened just after I relocated to joinmy husband at Ft. Hood, and the entire base was pretty well on alert status to be called in depending on how it played out. I didn't remember this the Commander was THIS General Clark, but I do remember having a great deal of respect for the way he handled all of it.
