re: My point was They acted under the authority of, and where ordered in to the combat by Clinton.

No, your point was that they were not under the command of NATO. Which was factually untrue.

re: If its an American then he is under the American chain of command and resposnible to American political control. If the other commander is the member of an allied military that has a long history of working with the US, shares the same objective in the current conflict, and who's country country is providing forces for the conflict then I may not have any problem. IF a NATO commander is not an American but is someone else who shares the same objective for that command and the NATO commander is very competent then I don't have a problem. If a commander in South Korea is a very compitent South Korean, when they provide the vast majority of forces and its their country that is under threat then I don't have a problem.

LOL. It sounds like you have no problems what so ever! I wonder if the allies had any problems with Eisenhower?

re: I guess I can go for the idea of "picking the best guy" but "picking the best guy" is not simply picking the person with the most tactical or strategic skill.

OK, if not, who is the best guy?
