We have our Obama 'pajama boy' contingent weighing in ... who are clueless in the extreme.
In front of me, as I post, is a personally signed copy of Colonel David H. Hackworth's book 'Steel My Soldiers' Hearts'. Signed 24 June '02 at Fort Carson, CO. His note says 'Semper Fi ... warmly, Hack' in recognition of my service during the Vietnam era Marine Corps. This signed edition of his book was given to me by my mother-in-law (the widow of a Army Colonel ... she passed five years ago).

Some Freepers are still bitter that Hackworth didn’t support the Iraq war.

I remember agreeing with Hackworth on some things he did and not agreeing on some others though I don’t remember specifics. But, I could say that about many, many people in my life.

The point of the subject FR article tonight is that the Army today has no apparent David Hackworths willing to sacrifice their Army career by exposing the truth where the truth desperately needs to be exposed (uh, Bergdahl, the girls in Ranger School, to name just two).

So, I thank you for coming to Hackworth’s defense including his courage in combat and his unquestionable service to this country on and off the battlefield. The Army is a 200+ year old venerable institution that needs every American to step up to the plate and defend it. WE might need it again some day............., on our own borders.
