And he sure went to a lot of trouble to investigate Mike Boorda's right to wear certain medals. After all that Boorda had accomplished I don't imagine that he was wearing a medal that he did not earn deliberately, besides with all of that fruit salad on his chest, one would have had to have been looking to destroy him. Wonder what Hackworth's reason was?????????
I suggest you actually learn about a topic before you start ignorantly flapping your gums on it. Boordas' improper wearing of the Combat V on both the Navy Achievement Medal and Navy Commendation Medal was exposed, along with several other flag officers at the Pentagon engaging in medal inflation, by LtCol Roger Charles USMC Ret., not Hackworth. Boorda was not and is still not entitled to wear the Combat V on either the Navy Achievement Medal or Navy Commendation Medal. So says the Board for Correction of Naval Records, the final arbiter on the matter. The question you should be asking is why Clinton allowed a person who was being treated for depression to continue serving as CNO. Indeed, Hackworth has a lot of things to answer for during his particular judgment but Boordas' suicide isn't one of them.
