The Defence Associations National Network

In The fall of 1997, Hack with Col. Carl Bernard, and LTC Roger Charles, USMC, founded Soldiers for The Truth, an organisation to fight for the interests of the American grunt. (Carl Bernard is a survivor of Task Force Smith, the scratch US force sent from Okinawa to Korea when the North invaded in June 1950. Mr. Bernard became a Green Beret, and served in Laos with Operation White Star, the joint CIA/Special Forces program to train Lao anti-communist forces. Rog Charles was a Marine platoon commander in Viet Nam. He is the journalist who broke the Admiral Boorda story in 1996).

The following forward from Soldiers for the Truth concerns all the fancy modern gadgetry Mr. Thompson was impressed with when he visited Fort Campbell. Hack, and others, have long been arguing against relying entirely upon the fancy gizmos, as they can (and DO!) fail in combat.

You do not think this is true???????

Geez...Where are you at man?

I would agree with Colonel Hackworth on that point . To much reliance on technology is not in the best interest of the folks who need to maintain the sharp edge necessary to kill the enemy in a face to face situation .

A nice marriage of both is ideal . I'd like to see more emphasis and human resources put into the intelligence services for example .
