If you can't knock the message, go after the messenger. Works in liberal circles, I don't know whether it works here.

Hack has some credibility with the military, but he has lost a lot too because of his comments. Not so long ago he wrote an article that basicly said that all the company grade officers that were staying in and not getting out were the cappy officers and the best and brightest were the ones getting out. Alot of us have tuned him out and what he says because of this.

While the above probally is happening we have to remember that there are two sides to every story, but if it smell like it then it probally is. I think that there is more to this story than is being said, and this young SGT should make some call to his congresman.

I will knock the messenger because I am sick and tired of the pot calling the kettle black. I earned that right. I am sick of Hackworths message. I am also appalled that Hackworth goes on the Fox News Channel and allows them to introduce him as the most important military soldier since Mac Arthur. That is total hogwash. Hackworth served his Country and served it well. But when he starts calling active duty Generals "perfume princes" when they are in the middle of combat, because Hackworth personally disagrees with his strategy, I have a huge problem with that. Hackworth is no Patton I can tell you this. I have very little respect for guy's like David Hackworth.

Unless you have been there, feed the liberal crap to someone else.
