    My son is a cadet at USAFA (class of 2024) and he loves Gen. Clark. In addition to being a great leader, Gen. Clark is also a USAFA football legend. #gofalcons

    I personally know this man (Lt Gen Clark) and I can honestly say he is one of the finest leaders/officers I've ever met. He is humble, credible and approachable. He treats everyone with respect. I can think of no better officer to lead the USAFA. Very Sincerely, a white retired pilot with 23 years of service.

    We are so blessed to have him continue in this role for 3 years (normal is 2 years). My son started at USAFA the same year that Lt. Gen Clark started as superintendent, and he holds him in the highest regard. Best superintendent he could have asked for.

    Good question 1:30........it's a matter of principle, it doesn't help effectiveness at all. The military is naturally diverse, since they dropped restrictions against black people back in the late 40s, based on the kind of guys who want to join....usually 70% white, 30% black and Hispanic. All men. Other "diversity" attempts don't help, and usually hurt.

    A great interview! I am so happy to have a grandson matriculating as a Basic Cadet under Lt. General Clark’s leadership. Looking for great things from our young man Tre Roberson, academically and athletically, Class of 2026. What a great program. Fly High and Go Falcons!!

    Why why why????? Why do we have to celebrate and focus on color and not on the individual themselves??? This is getting old and worn out

      Exactly what I said, everything is about race.

      It is not about color but representation. Gayle said the same thing. We all look forward to the day there is no first anything. That is all!

      It will never end. Democrats NEED and CRAVE division in order to survive. And yes, I served in the USAF. Don't bring our best and brightest, bring us the right quota.
