I was JUST posting about his on another thread...
I couldn't believe how harshly Hackett dealt with Watada through his Watada's father...
For a lib, he surprised me...I thought sure he would say that Watada must not have been raised right..or had teachers that were mean to him...
OR, better yet....that BUSH FORCED Watada to sign the enlistment papers...(he has accused Bush of every other bad thing in the world).
I know I was shocked when I watched it. The KosKids are going to freak. I guess even an uber liberal like Mr Hackett can have respect for the uniform, even if he doesn't have any for the President.
Even Juan Williams wasn't defending Ehren Watada's outrageous remarks on The O'Reilly Factor last night. Actually Juan was hammering Watada.
Say what you want about Hackett, but he has proven several times in recent weeks that he IS still a Marine. He quickly came to the defense of both the 3/1 and 3/5 guys. You may not agree with his politics, but he doesn't appear to be the type to throw his brother Marines under the bus.
JMO...

One does wonder why Bob Watada gave his kid a German name. I did some searching but couldn't find Bob's father, etc., to see if maybe he wasn't a Black Dragon Society member back in the 1930s.
