		The NATO Meritorious Serice Medal consists of a blue background with silver and white stripes on the outer most portion of the ribbon, and the medallion color is changed from bronze in appearance to a silver medallion for this medal only.

		The article "Still no decision on Kosovo medal" (Oct. 8) said "Pentagon brass" ensured a waiver was granted so that Gen. Wesley Clark received the Kosovo Campaign Medal, the first one minted, at his retirement ceremony in 2000.
		Clark's buddy in Kosovo was Hashim Thaci, the leader of the Kosovo Liberation Army, which, according to the Belfast News Letter (Northern Ireland) of July 30, is engaged in sex slavery, prostitution, murder, kidnapping and drugs.
		While the questionable effectiveness of the air campaign was not solely his responsibility, his acquiescence to the strategy and his cover-up of the results detailed in the Newsweek story "Kosovo Cover Up" (May 15, 2000) are testimony to his dedication to power and career.

		With Clark directing the 78-day air campaign mostly from his headquarters in Mons, Belgium, he and his staff — not to mention thousands of troops supporting the effort from bases throughout Europe and the United States — were left ineligible.
		A medal for Clark is far less grevious than burying a man who had never been in the military in Arlington National Cemetary, just for campaign cash and maybe a little personal attention from his wife.
