The DeBoer story:

I have a signed version of this book. Unfortunately the former Mrs Nacho had to get it signed for me as I was in the field training. Hack died a year or 2 after that.

Do you have the signature of Ignacio Anaya?

Deboer joke aside, I'm picking up that book now.

I got this book when it came out, and could barely put it down. Hackworth lived a fascinating life.

Only 75 pages in and this is my experience. Really fascinating read.

I was about 7 years into my time in the Army when I read it. Probably had more influence on me than anything else I read.

Taught you to always take a shit before going to battle?

I like my heros to not die in battle. Or shit their pants.
