I think most specialized units during the Vietnam war were all volunteer. Provisional LRP/LRRP and then Ranger took only volunteers. Hackworth formed a "Tiger Force" but I thought that was more along the lines of several hundred men, not 45 as the article mentions...maybe not the same unit.

Regardless, this is a hit piece aimed at degrading the military and those that serve/served with honor.

Link to Toledo Blade articles on the Army's investigation of the Tiger Force. Has lots of quotes from the military participants, some of whom admitted to killing civilians and cutting off ears to make necklaces.

Odd they wouldn't either distinguish his unit from or credit him with oversight of this Tiger Force.
