I love David Hackworth.
Why doesn't this surprise me???

Help Wanted: Censorship?
My husband is stationed at Camp Anaconda, Iraq. He recently he remarked to me that the TV 's came back on in the mess, you see apparently the transmission stopped right before the Democratic National Convention and miraculously came back on for the Republican Convention. Technical problems can happen but this is a little to convenient, don't you think? now I know as well as the next person, that if these guys want information there going to get it, but I don't know, it just strikes me as fishy...UnAmerican, even. It's a fact that in Iraq (or the military for that matter) these guys have no choice when it comes to their fate. Whether it be pay, conditions, injury's, their family's, etc. The one thing they do have, however, is their voice. So now it seems to me, even that has been tampered with. Their power to make an informed choice as to who will be there future commander in chief has been obstructed by "technical difficulty's" its just embarrassing and quite frankly, fucked. Perhaps you have some thoughts on the matter. CONCERNED WIFE. Readers in Iraq. Please let us know if your rights are being tampered with because of politics. Write to me directly - Hack

1. Me too
He really gives a $%&& about the troops. He's not like one of those SUV drivers with a "support our troops" bumper sticker who can't name a single city in Iraq beyond Baghdad, who hasn't the faintest clue how many have had legs blown off. He is a real patriot rather than one of those flag wavers we see all too often today.

About Face is a definitive look at the army and its failing in Vietnam.

3. Hackworth is terrific...
He cares about 2 things:

Truth & the Troops

Because of his concern for truth, he has made many enemies.

5. That's a superb piece by Hack
He takes on the Swift Boat Liars, and Bush as well. Read it, folks.
