"I wouldn't want to be Hackworth either. Hack just betrayed his country and every single member of the military. What a total creep."

"Yeah, he's going to be responsible for the death and injury of thousands. Not only that, but he has endangered this country more than anyone since Benedict Arnold.

Yeah, well he just screwed every man and woman in the military. They're going to hunt him down if this turns out to be true. Talk about betrayal."

"No, I'm not fine with the perps, but I'm furious with Hackworth because he should have known better. He should have known what this would do to the situation over there. He just endangered every one of those kids in that theater. He also endangered this country by putting those pictures into the hands of the media."


Hack betrayed his country and "every single member of the military"? By doing what exactly?? Trying to call attention to gross violations that were already being investigated by the military, violations which cast a horrible light on the majority of actual honorable soldiers who are still "somehow" able to tell the difference between right and wrong???

I love your priorities here, curse the name of the "evil" Hackworth who you disparage as a "traitor" while saying basically nothing about the people who have actually done the dishonorable deeds. Now we hear news about guards allegedly raping women and small boys and beating people nearly to death. BUT WAIT, THE REAL NEWS IS HACKWORTH, what a horrible horrible "traitor" for attempting to hold people publically accountable for actions which dishonor the country whose freedoms they were supposedly fighting for.

Comparing Hackworth with Benedict Arnold, saying that he will be responsible for "the death and injury of thousands", that he endangered "every one of those kids in that theater", that he endangered our country, and that military people are going to hunt him down? Talk about inane, exaggerated, fallacious and malicious comments.. As if somehow the knowledge of abuse within the prisons, which was already made known by the military to the press, is suddenly going to put EVERY single one of our troops and our very country in danger where it wasn't before? Absolutely ludicrous. And military people are going to hunt him down in droves eh? That would in fact mean that they would violate the very code of honor and ethics that they profess to live by. Brilliant conclusion!...

I personally disagree with MANY things Hackworth says and positions he takes, and I also disagree with the way in which he says and does things. I however do not feel the need or think I have the right to viciously attack someones character and motives just because I dislike or disagree with someones modus operandi in reference to their statements or actions concerning the military. Hackworth actually put his life on the line serving our country, have you? Amazing how you feel so bold to make fallacious and malicious attacks on him. Where is your civility and honor in all of this???
