Boorda was much, much too tough to let something like that snafu get him down IMHO. Also, the way he died left a lot of questions.

He wouldn't go along with the Clinton admin's desires as regarded the sharing of potentially sensitive data and exercises with th PLAN as I understood it at the time...and then he was dead.

Couldn't agree more. Met him several times while deployed in Bosnia. He never impressed me as the type to commit suicide over such a trifle. Any guy who works his way up from E-1 to O-10 knows how to handle some heat. I think he probably got fed up with being treated as a lap-dog for the evil regime he was operating under. I don't know what Hackworth said about him but I have the highest respect for the man's integrity even in death. Maybe he paid the price for not "rolling over" like Hubbell.
