David H. Hackworth

Because I know it'll come up in the comments, and there's one guy I know specifically who still hasn't been named who is going to take issue with this, that never lost a single battle myth.

David Hackworth, who was a great man, I think.

You know, he died recently.

long time ago now and at a young age comparatively i think he was in his 50s but he um his uh autobiography uh about face he um it's heavier on military science than a lot of those kind of biography autobiographies of a public figure but He singled out, interestingly, he talked about the Battle of Koh Tang, which we just covered, which obviously was not a Vietnam War engagement.

you know, to the betterment of them as we did to the Germans and the Japanese who were living incorrectly and who had, owing to their latent cultural pathologies, developed a fascist personality, an authoritarian personality that had to be annihilated, you know, for our world society to be realized.

So that's the problem here.

Now, to be clear, there were guys like David Hackworth who I've got.

I mean, he's dead now, but I had a lot of respect for him.

You don't hear enough about the stuff that happened in Korea.

yeah and uh and i got more i've always known you know called the forgotten war we said like 50 000 something deaths yeah i mean it was it was intense but uh hearing what david hackworth did in korea and the fights that they went into really got me interested a little bit more in korea but just i don't know how to start pulling on that string other than talk about it right now and hopefully someone goes My grandpa was in Korea.

Speaking of the Wolfhounds, the 27th Infantry, that was the unit that David Hackworth was a part of.

In Korea.

Yeah.

It's a tactic that he stole, I learned later, he stole, uh, from a book called About Face by a retired US Army Colonel David Hackworth.

Uh, and that was-

Great book
