Yep. Hackworth had some pretty negative things to say about North when North was running for the Senate in VA.

The military is a PC palace.

I used to have a high view of them, until some of my friends and family came back.

I have no doubt that if Obama turned the Army on the domestic population, most if not all officers will follow orders. The rankers might not, but it will depend on the target and where they are from.

Before I get flamed, read about what the few who speak out say.
