I just blew the dust off of "About Face" and re-read it for the first time in 29 years. I first read it as an Army Cadet and some of the lessons I read there I carried with me for my 26.5 year military career. My second read through was with the eyes of personal experience. So much turned out to be true.
Great book I’m reading it for the second time.
Reading the book presently. BTW, my father a field grade officer did 27 years in the Army with 2 tours in Nam
Wish I knew about it 20 years ago
He dispels the myth of the laid-back Southern Californian. Col. Hackworth was a pure warrior with advanced intellect. He was one of the finest soldiers the U.S. has ever produced.
Col. Hackworth was my absolute favorite on Fox News Channel in the early 2000's. I remember the shock of his loss like it was yesterday. He was the best of what this country has ever had to offer. RIP "Hack". 😢
Hackworth and Hal Moore. Two great officers and leaders. A rarity
Hal Moore yes, Hackworth NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Makes me proud to be a Hackworth and I was called Hack also. This man was amazing I and I love all the stories no matter how many times i hear them.
A true soldier's soldier! He didn't play the political game, just took care of his soldiers! We who are still here salute you!
If you guys are interested, his book "Steel my Soldier's hearts" is a amazing read. A true hero
"About Face" , gotta read that too. "A Bright and Shining Lie" too by Neil Sheehan. Fathers a Vietnam veteran. We love Hackworth.
Agree on both books. Good lessons on leadership.
Had a restaurant in Queensland Australia when he retired. Was successful in real estate
I got to read Col hackworth's book when it was 1'st published and he lead a life of his many choices and challenge's but for me his real service for his country came when he started to think and realize that their was something very wrong with the command structure that he willingly followed his entire life , and when he started to challenge the very same command structure for me that's when his real bravery showed , for it's easy to follow orders without thought or conscience he didn't stop loving his country he just started questioning command he and Col Anthony herburt are professional soldiers who decided to answer to a higher calling their consicnce and the families of the dead , RIP sir you are known and missed , cpl s d santana former us marine
Hack talked about "ticket punchers" at the Pentagon in his book About Face. That was about the military of over 50 years ago. I think the number of ticket punchers today in 2024 is at an all time high.

If that is a ranger tab, I could be wrong, but don't ever recall him mentioning going to ranger school in any of his writings.
ms zonna , the prized ranger tab is just 1' of many John Wayne survival sch's that the us army has , in sheer experience Col hackworth's has led more patrools and ambushes and raids then most of the combat instructor's who teach the crafts and I'm fairly sure that most of the real graduate's of the Benning sch for bad boys heard of know and respect Col hackworth most would agree that he's done well without having attended the ranger sch
Should have the Medal of Honor. Above and Beyond the call of Duty....
That’s my last name to
You're doing it right! Making history fun :)
+1 Sub
He had 3 cib awards one of eleven ever before our latest campaigns, ww2,Korea, vietnam
My great uncle
He was put in for the medal of honor twice
Pretty sure you've read About Face. He was a one man version of the Expendables, and badass on top of badass.
Miss you Hack...
Hack, my hero, serbia loves you. RIP
A CIB with star for the second award of same.
Reading the "Issues and Answers" section in the book _About Face_ and came across this video.
LCDR. Willnik brought me here.
Impressive life. And like a proper combat solider he didn't jump frivolously into war like chickenhawks do.
Goddamn right
Read About Face in days, couldn’t put it down, great book though he becomes jaded by the end and you see the cynicism.
To that might be like my great great great grandpa
For certain hardcore was afraid of Hackworth
no ranger tab
And Hill 400 was soon abandoned, leaving those men to have died FOR NOTHING.
I oppose war but if i was in the shit, I would want Hack in charge!
Hackwork never earned the RANGER TAB , the RANGER SCHOOL at Fort Benning has no record of him being a graduate. He had to return 36 medals he was not entitled to. Check the official records

crack zealous
i understand
election day
fu crack
Lose the Ranger Tab
He also didn't fight in WW2.
That's right, show your respect by reducing a great soldiers life to shit animation.
1. Hackworth did not "fight" in World War II.
2. The proper name for the organization is the U.S. Merchant Marine. Members of it are merchant mariners, merchant seamen or merchant marine officers. They are not "merchant marines," and there is no such organization as "the merchant marines."
3. The only Marines we have in this country are members of the U.S. Marine Corps. Everyone else is something else - I suppose - but they are not "marines," merchant or otherwise.
4. This video is ill-informed, illiterate and misleading. People should disregard it and, instead, read the book "About Face" by David Hackworth.
