Reply #91: Apparently it wasn't "minor". [View All]

Given the explanation in post #54 received no response, it seems the author of the OP was merely setting up a claim of victimization. If a military expert like Clark had corrected O'Vilely it would have been leaving the path of the discussion and entering a minefield. Quite possibly if Clark had said that Malmedy was a massacre of US troops by the SS, BO might have said that surely Clark knows of the reported following massacre of Germans by the US. Then BO would claim to be teaching Clark the history of WWII. If Clark were to say something critical of the US troops in WWII, Dole would be attacking him once again as being an elitist General, out of touch with the common soldier of "the greatest generation". Clark did good, real good.
