Hackworth blames Boorda. Interesting in the perspective that Boorda was proven correct in his belief that he was entitled to wear his Combat V.
Hackworth at his self-serving best.This interview also covers Hackworth's "Ranger" designation, and why he felt entitled to wear it, even though he wasn't a Ranger.
Hypocrite Hack rides again.
Hack needs to go sit down.
Hackworth, new orders. Meds. Now.
Is Hackworth the guy who wrote, "Soldier"?
Hackworth is a hypocrite, he won't say a word about Kerry's medals, or about his testimoney before congress while the POWs were being tortured.
STFU and go sit in the corner!
I loaned Hackworth's autobiography to a Korea war era tanker friend of mine, thinking he might find Hack's Korea story interesting, and he almost threw it at me when he returned it after finishing only the first chapter. Chapter 1 has Hackworth jumping up on top of a moving tank during a firefight, Hackworth pounding on the hatch, the commander opening the hatch in response to Hack's knocking, and then Hackworth and the tank commander conversing under machine gun fire. My Sherman/Patton tank commander buddy says all of the foregoing was materially impossible, implausible, and/or stupid. Hack apparently has some explaining of his own to do, if anyone wanted to waste the time to call him out.
Gawd how I detest that guy...(but am grateful for his service--I detest Aaron Burr also, but am grateful for his service as well).
It's always about Hack... isn't it Hack?... One of the most decorated living Americans...if not the most decorated living combat veteran
A self promoter.....sigh...
imo
Hackworth is worthless pond scum who brags his own stinking ass up as America's most decorated soldier. (he & Kerry have a lot in common with all this self braggadocio and glorification. Hackworth and his gang of Kerry's drove Boorda, an honorable man to commit suicide.
Now we presently have a much worse example in Kerry who puts a V for valor onto his silver star. What does the Hack do, he attacks the SBVfT for daring expose Kerry, Hackworth's phony hero .
Why doesn't Hackworth do the honorable thing himself, oh, I forgot, he has no honor.
Hackworth has gone AWOL for the election cycle.
Huck Fackworth! I served under Admiral Boorda when I was on the USS Saratoga. He was the Rear Admiral (one star, then referred to as "Lower half") in charge of our Carrier Task Force. Having risen from the enlisted ranks, he had the admiration of all of the men. He was one of the good ones.
well i guess that's legal now hack... just don't be doing it around here
Incorrect. The Board for Correction of Naval Records determined, by unanimous vote in June of 1997, that Boorda was not and is still not entitled to wear the Combat V on either the Navy Achievement Medal or Navy Commendation Medal. The Clinton/Dalton/Zumwalt/Boorda family spin machines would like you to believe otherwise.
