General Wesley Clark
Retired 4-Star General
Former NATO Supreme Allied Commander
Sessions:
A 4-Star General and a comedian discuss the politics of war
Four-star General Wesley Clark’s distinguished career has taken him from West Point (where he was valedictorian and named a Rhodes Scholar) to Vietnam to commanding U.S. military and NATO forces in 89 countries as NATO Supreme Allied Commander Europe to running for president. Today he’ll sit down with comedian Ben Gleib for a wide-ranging conversation in which the unlikely pair will tackle the nature of fear, the most immediate global threats, the effectiveness of war and, most pressingly, what generals eat for breakfast.
