| RIP Col. David H. Hackworth, 1930-2005: Legendary U.S. Army Guerrilla Fighter |
| 2005-05-05 |
| Col. David H. Hackworth, the United States Army's legendary, highly decorated guerrilla fighter and lifelong champion of the doughboy and dogface, groundpounder and grunt, died Wednesday in Mexico. He was 74 years old. The cause of death was a form of cancer now appearing with increasing frequency among Vietnam veterans exposed to the defoliants called Agents Orange and Blue... Bladder cancer. |

| #1 Most folks have heard about Agent Orange, but one of the things that struck me most when visiting the ''American War Crimes Museum'' in Hanoi was a display showing the various defoliants used. It was a literal rainbow of ''Agents'' from blue, to red, to white, and many more, along with familiar ol' Orange. The wall of deformed fetuses in formaldehyde jars, blamed on the various chemicals sprayed during the war, also made quite an impression! |
