56. His eyes get dark...
Yep. After Wes Clark's first "turn around" of a base, he was tasked with rewriting all of the training manuals. He even wrote (iirc) an annual review for officers that would be done by those serving under them. No one thought it would fly...it did.

The General has never seemed like a person who carries regrets. But ya gotta wonder after all of those birthdays, and kids' ball games he missed, how he feels watching his work be torn to shreds. Reading his book, a question that kept running through my mind was: does he sleep and is he ever home. I know now that the answer to both of those questions was "not much."

The Army: misused and abused.
