CONCORD, N.H. -- Retired Army Gen. Wesley Clark is speaking out for the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard, which the Pentagon has recommended closing.
In an interview with The Associated Press Thursday morning, Clark said the shipyard is a "unique facility."
The former NATO commander and one-time presidential candidate has said the Pentagon's plan to close military bases around the country will isolate the military from the American people and the rest of the world.
Clark is scheduled to be in New Hampshire for a Democratic fundraiser.
