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).
Roger Charles worked as a defense investigator for Stephen Jones in the McVeigh case.
One of the defense investigators provided the Dallas Morning News with a significant portion of all the defense documents in electronic form prior to the trial. Defense documents included the leads Jones was following in the Phillippines about the Middle Eastern terrorist connection.

How many "soldier's soldiers" decline to return to their country after their service, remain on foreign soil, and protest the defense policies of the United States?
I believe I read Hackworth did not return to the U.S. until after Clinton was elected, but I need to confirm the date he arrived here from Australia.
That doesn't sound like a soldier's soldier to me, but I know nothing about Hackworth other than he's a shameless self-promoter and he seems to have had it in for Boorda. I was just wondering if there were something personal between the two of them.
MILITARY TOP BRASS CAN BE TRUSTED
"I have known columnist, and retired U.S.Army Colonel, David Hackworth since 1968 when we both served a short tour in the Pentagon as relatively junior field grade officers....
In 1989, after the statue of limitations on the charges against him had run out, Hackworth returned to the USA and wrote a best selling book and later became widely acclaimed columnist. He also has a well known web-site on the internet that cast a wide net over our military forces of all ranks."
