David Hackworth, despite his many medals, is one of life's losers. He has spent the past 20 years telling anyone who would listen what a hero he was. There's an old saying that veterans who talk about their accomplishments usually spent most of their time serving as yardbirds. I despise Hackworth for his role in the untimely death of Adm. Jerry Boorda. Boorda came up through the ranks, from a sailor in the fleet to chief of naval operations. Hackworth was so intent on discrediting Boorda over an insignifant ribbon that the admiral took his own life. To hell with Hackworth, the pompous sunovabitch. He is just the kind of coward who would delete unfavorable comments on his website.

"I despise Hackworth for his role in the untimely death of Adm. Jerry Boorda."

I disliked that bitter POS (HACKworth) before Borda, I've totally dispised him since. His decision to assassinate Borda, which he was publicly bragging about before Borda's death, wasn't even about a medal. It was about a device, on a low level medal, that the admiral was under every impression he was entitled.

Later it was discovered that HACKworth had been claiming a Distinquished Flying Cross that he had never earned (not a insignificant medal) and a Ranger Tab he had never earned.

HACKworth is a Judas and a coward.

How ironic that it was Hack himself who had to remove one of his own medals from his website when it was determined he hadn't earned it. Admiral Boorda on the other hand did deserve the medal in question.
