Col. David Hackworth
I often read Col. Hackworth's op-ed pieces. Sometimes I agreed with his point of view and other times I didn't. I always learned something either way. Whatever one thinks of his efforts to reform the military in the last few years you have to admit the following.1. He was an uber-soldier, respected for his career and accomplishments on the battle field by every military guy I ever heard discuss him. He was a man's man and a soldier's soldier.
2. He was a good and prolific author.
3. All of his reform efforts came from a heart of gold, trying to improve the conditions of our soldiers and their effectiveness.
Catherine O'Neill writes a wonderful eulogy proving that he also appealed to female soldiers as well. It is worth a read.
Col. Hackworth, God speed.
