God Bless the Col.
He served his country, and should be honored as a hero.
We disagreed on many things, but I know where he would have stood if the enemy were at the gates.
I heard something about peach pits in the cure for cancer used in Mexico. He always had on a black turtle neck & black pants when I saw him on Fox! Like Johnny Cash.

When you can say that about a fellow American, you don't need any other flowery rhetoric. Well stated JB.
RIP Col. Hackworth...
Colonel Hackworth's primary concern was the defense of the Nation. He cared deeply for the Men who were doing the fighting. He was the recipent of 10 Silver Stars, 8 Bronze Stars, the Distinguished Service Cross twice, the Combat Infantryman's Badge, 8 Purple Hearts and 3 nominations for the Medal of Honor. He spent 7 years in ground combat in Korea and VietNam. Hack was respected by soldiers on the ground. He wanted reform not the dismantling of our Military. He wanted tougher training for ground troops so more came home alive.
Get your facts straight. He was an honorable Man not a PC "Perfumed Prince". He was a real warrior not a phoney. His analysis of the War in Iraq has been 100% on the money. I have two kids in the war in ground combat units. One a Marine the other an Army Ranger. His death is a loss to the Nation.
