Ok.. I'll give you that he wasn't a COWARD when he served in Nam.. but he is one now!!

Like I said.. we will ALWAYS honor him for his service. Always appreciate it.

But when he gives fuel to our enemies.. when he doubts the will and courage of our fighting men and our women who serve, then he has lost our support.

I judge him by the comments he makes NOW. I liken him these days, to the "Benedict Arnold" category.

After my husbands e-mail exchange with him Saturday,... he went on Fox News later that day,..and sounded much more PRO American.

My point being.. we cannot let him speak for all of us, if he speaks cowardly. If he cannot see the ramifications for his words, understand that our enemies are listening to him and other cowards closely.. then that is a huge personality error in our humble opinion.

I think he should be supportive of the troops, and realize that these wars are different than when he fought. Our troops are WELL trained, and can do the job. He is out there saying they cannot.

We bought two of his books for our Dad who was a B-17 Bomber pilot during WWII. My husband who has had this dialogue with him, did so respectfully and with intelligence. The response was arrogant and ignorant.

It was written retired Battallion Commander to retired Battalion Commander. Vet to Vet.

He no longer speaks for us. I suggest with all due respect, that you listen closely to what Hackworth is saying these days.

Hopefully,.. he will find once again, the FIRE and STEEL that he so strongly advocated in troops when speaking about them in the past. To say that the fine, well abled, strong young men and women of todays military is not capable of handling their job, is a disservice to them, and to America as a WHOLE.

If he can take a close look at how damaging his recent words have been and are,.. then perhaps he can garner respect from us once again. But our current troops come first.
