I will always respect Hack for his service to his country lo these many years ago, and have respected him as an advocate of the grunts out there on the ground. But, in this, he's above his pay grade. He used to have a great nose for senior officers bullshit, and he called Clark on it during the Clinton years. Now he's a fan? C'mon, Hack, you're getting to like those cocktail parties and pretty liberal girls who put out a little too much.
Sounds like a good reason to become a democrat to me ;)
