Hack was my friend.
When we lost him we lost a legend.

I have been talking of hackworth on a webiste in thailand infested with armchair generals.
One responded today that his dad served with hack and called him a lying coward piece of s#@t.
He also said that as medals were available in the markets in saigon then that is where most of hacks awards came from.
I am stunned and sickened-does someone want to follow this up?
This chap should have the pants sued off him.
