The problem is that Hack isn't a soldier anymore, he is someone who considers himself a "celebrity" and as such, needs the limelight.

Gotta agree. As such "celebrities" go, I have a whole lot more respect for THIS guy:

Especially after he verbally carved up Barbara Streisand, just before the 2002 elections.

BTW, I love Ermey's new show on the History Channel.

Gentle Charles, I enjoy mail call, great show. To equate an entertainer with someone with nine silver stars is a bit much. Bet S/Sgt Emrey(he ain't a REAL Gunny), like myself, spent much of his time "in the rear with the gear", no fault of ours. Don't agree with some of what "Hack" says, but he has earned the right to say it..Put your DD-214 plus any ten guys you know against his.
