Wes Clark Jr. at Standing Rock: General’s activist son heads to N.D., driven by “spiritual fire” and “ready to be killed”

“I’m just a dude who wants to stand up for what is right,” said Wesley Clark Jr. when we spoke by phone about his trip to the Standing Rock Indian Reservation in North Dakota. There’s a driving rainstorm at my end, so it’s hard to hear him. We keep getting cut off: I assume the weather is affecting our cell connection, but Clark tells me all his phones are tapped.

He may be right. Clark has spoken out publicly against special interest groups and political administrations, and he is not really “just a dude”: His father and namesake is retired U.S. Army general Wesley Clark Sr., formerly the supreme commander of NATO’s military forces.'>>>

when Wes Clark was running. He stood in for his father at an event in Seattle. Very impressive!
