33. You said it!
No one reaches the rank of general officer without playing the game. No one in this day and age anyway. I like Clark but I spent my short military career at a base that does nothing but train officers from squadron officers right up through Air War College. If you don't buy into the intertwined military industrial complex, you don't see two stars or three stars, much less four.

Clark has the advantage of hindsight and he may reject the system he once worked to the highest rank and commands but I need to see some proof of this.

There have been no generals in the White House since Ike and Ike warned us of what was to come. Does Clark see it too? Will he address it or will it remain the elephant in the living room?
