Rest in Peace, Colonel. I disagreed with his politics but respected the heck out of his service in uniform.
IIRC, the one on Fox with the raspy voice is named Hunt.

Thank you. That is so sad. He loved our country and our military. His ways were different than mine, but I respected him. Prayers go out to his family.

Hunt and Hackworth had their lives cross in an odd way. LtCol David Hunt was a batallion commander in Korea while Hack was there on press assignment in 94. He was a Kick Ass tactician, and training fanatic. All Hunt had really wanted to do was command a combat line unit.
The powers that be decided that they wanted a business manager type, and not a combat leader in upper ranks, and tried to $#!tcan Hunt's career.
Hackworth found out about it, and went to commamder US Forces in Korea, General Gary Luck (commanded XVIII Corps in Desert Storm). Hack told Gen. Luck "We're gonna loose this guy, and he's another Abrams"
Result was that David Hunt was promoted to full Colonel. Unfortunately, the Ass kissers eventually did have their way, and Hunt was forced out.
Col. David Hunt is NOT to be confused with General Ira A. Hunt, who was the nemesis of Hackworth when he commanded the 4/39th Infantry in 69 in the Delta. David Hunt was a warrier, Ira Hunt was a fool.
