Clark Favored Friends Over Pros In Italian Campaign
Gen. Mark Clark, current temporary four star rank and brigadier general in the regular army, faces a Senate Military Affairs panel accusation from former Col. H. Miller Ainsworth that he promoted friends and classmates over experienced officers during the Italian campaign. Ainsworth and other 36th Division veterans urged denying Clark the permanent rank of major general, citing the Rapido River attack misstep that caused about 2900 casualties. He labeled Clark inefficient and inexperienced and criticized a policy of relieving National Guardsmen regardless of ability. The 36th Division was Texas National Guard.
