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.

Boorda went home for lunch and took his own life.

Yeah, and Vince Foster had a big lunch and then took his own life dumping his own body in the perfect casket position in Ft. Marcy Park.

This was the Clinton administration. Lots of suspicious deaths, lots of media coverups.

I am totally unpersuaded by what litle "evidence" has been concocted that Boorda killed himself.

"Boorda went home for lunch and took his own life." your quote

OK if Boorda took his own life - why did he fire 2 shots and why shoot himself in the chest while preparing to get in his car. Strange actions for a highly trained military man.
