On a different aviation message board (flightinfo.com), someone who
worked
under Clark at SOCOM related a story about Clark.

He spells his name kind of funny--or does he have one? I'm not crazy
about
everything Hackworth says but he stands by his words and admits his
mistakes.
Not signing your name means you don't have to do either.

I disagree. Hackworth delightedly attempted to publicly gore the then-CNO
ADM Boorda over a "V" device, then it was disclosed that Hackworth
himself
was wearing and bragging about a Ranger Tab he had never actually
earned--he
was a bit slow in 'fessing up to that one, and when he did it came out in
about the same words that he was so happily condemning Boorda for using
("Gee, I *thought* I was entitled to that..."). As far as I am concerned,
he
is a pretty worthless source.


Hackworth evidently also had some nasty things to say about Michael
Durant while he was captive in Mogadishu. Durant in his book ("The
Company of Heroes") talks about being attacked by Hackworth for no
reason that he could figure out.

I was unaware of that one. But it would be about par for him. Interesting
