 HRC United States Senate Armed Services Committee
According to a Department of the Army Inspector General's report conducted after the murder, General Clark failed to order any training on the military's policy on gay service members or on how to address anti-gay harassment.
As stated in our letters of September 16, 2002, March 14, 2003, and September 2, 2003, we believe Major General Clark has failed to exhibit the leadership necessary for command of 5th Army.
While Major General Clark met with PFC Barry Winchell's parents and has met with members of the committee, this in no way ameliorates the atmosphere fostered under his command at Fort Campbell, Kentucky and his behavior in the aftermath of the PFC Winchell's death continue to seriously call into question the wisdom of this nomination.
