My Take
Wesley Clark fascinates me as a soldier who fought first with his mind. West Point valedictorian, Rhodes Scholar at Oxford, then a chest of decorations from the Silver Star and Purple Heart to the Presidential Medal of Freedom: the resume reads like restless ambition channeled into service. That he then pivoted into politics and even acting tells you how wide his curiosity ran. I'm drawn to people who pair intellect with genuine courage under fire, because their reading of hard realities carries weight no armchair analyst can match. Whatever one makes of his politics, his record demands respect.
