I haven't seen Hackworth show up on Fox lately... Interesting.

But he has been on Hannity's radio program every day, and spouting the same negativism. It will be interesting to see if he gets the heave-ho from Sean this week.

Let's not forget it was Hackworth who was planning the hatchet job on poor Adm. Jerry Boorda, the former chief of naval operations. Boorda rose from the fleet to become the Navy's top admiral and dearly loved serving his country. He mistakenly wore a medal that Hackworth said he was not entitled to pin on his chest. Hackworth and another idiot were planning to write a Newsweek (or something) piece about Boorda and so advised the admiral. Beset with shame, Boorda went home for lunch and took his own life. It later turned out Boorda was given permission to wear the insignia by a superior. I have despised Hackworth ever since. I note here that we must always beware of those who would have you believe they have the answer to everything. Hackworth is suffocating from his own ego. Perhaps someone should drag out his file and see if made a misstep or two. No one, I repeat no one, passes through this life without leaving something behind that they would not want the world to know. Three cheers for our troops.

I heard Hackworth on Sean's show Friday, and basically Sean's response to him was a polite "ooooookay...thank you, goodbye" with no rehashing or questioning of the points he had made. What I read from that was that Sean thinks he's loony but was being nice, maybe due to their long relationship. Because immediately after the break, Sean had an army colonel (I think) from Centcom in Qatar comment on things on the ground, basically saying the exact opposite of what Hackworth had just ranted about.
