It's nice that Hackworth has changed his tune from his previous
ARTICLE but his credibility is still pretty well destroyed as a result of it.

Hack was wrong, but he's still a great American, motivated only by his concern for young men in harm's way and cynical of politicos - even the good ones.

I agree, and have been down on Hack (and some of the Generals). But, you know what? This man and those Generals put their lives on the line and fought for us in the past. So, I say, give them a pass.

I caught Col. Hackworth on PMSNBC last night. Can't remember the name of the show.

I am with you on his loss of credibility. It was not just one article but many, including bad mouthing the training of the troops and that they were not as tough as prior generations. The latter is what turned me off. But it is a typical attitude of ex-military (I am one, a Navy lifer) that "When I was in, ships were made of wood and men of steel".

Give them a pass for trying to deflate moral in the battlefield for purely partisan and vain reasons?
Sorry I disagree, these embedded tv studio generals behavior was disgusting.

Hack is a hack, for want of a better term.

I liked the "armchair generals" who stuck to answering questions about tactics, equipment, and standard operating procedure.
Some of them even managed halfway decent force movement briefings on the map. (Shep, let's go to the screenwriter...)
The ones I didn't like were the ones who second-guessed "The Plan."

I liked the "armchair generals" who stuck to answering questions about tactics, equipment, and standard operating procedure. I agree and thank you for clarifying that. My disgust is basically at MaCaffrey, Clark, and Hack for their grandstanding and quest for face time in the liberal media.

Sorry to see a tribute to the 3rd from Hack because he becomes the story and not the men of the 3rd. What a great victory for an historic division! Way to go guys. My hat's off to you.

He acts not like a true American soldier, but as a Democrat, out to smear the opposition. I bet if this event happened on Clinton's watch, his attitude would have been much warmer.
Why the partisanship when it comes to our country and our military? Weird.

Hack did himself in. He lept telling everybody to "read my book." So, guess what, a lot of us did. After reading a couple of his books you begin to realize the guy is a real leftie. That was why the media loved him. They could bring him on and pretend the were providing "balance" because he was ex-military everyone would assume he was "conservative". He did himself in. He has no one to blame but himself. How would you feel when you found out the used car you bought yesterday was a lemon. People get P.O.d when they find out they been deceived.

Hackworth is a washed up windbag who can continue making love in guest appearances with Larry King. That way, we know no one is watching. I salute him for his service but he is toast.

Sorry I disagree, these embedded tv studio generals behavior was disgusting. IMO, these "EX" military brass are just as disguting as Clinton and Carter and their smearing of Bush during war time or at any time for that matter.
I've yet to see a Republican smear a Democrat when the tables were turned.
