Hackworth is on a new cause...war related diseases. He said before the war that our troops were not equipped with viable gear to withstand bio or chemical attacks. One thing he said that I laughed at was that our soldiers "do not have a place to change into their gear".

Yes, I know he was an honorable soldier, but nowdays, he seems a fruitcake.

He was simply never cut out for anything but being a soldier. He's particularly bad as an armchair general, hopefully his inane commentary on this war will kick him out of the public eye forever.

We need to develop some "cammo cabanas" for our shy boys.

Agree...and about that "fruit"cake...he does have strange mannerisms?????

What irritates me about him is that he always claims to stand "for the troops," but he has a strictly Democrat attitude: they're a bunch of helpless victims, and we can "help" them only by not putting them into conflict. Thus our military just becomes a back-door means of giving welfare in the form of G.I. Bills and other veterans' benefits. A Republican attitude would be that of any of the Fox News analysts: our troops deserve our support and our confidence in their ability. We also demand that they earn their paycheck when it becomes necessary--something that the vast majority of them are willing to do, Col. Hackworth notwithstanding.
