Ike and the majority of the World War II generals knew what was going on because they knew the truth was with their soldiers. As did Army commander Gen. Matthew Ridgway, whom I saw during the Korean War walking the front line to talk to his Wolfhound troopers. “Got enough gear and ammo, soldier?” he'd ask. “What's the situation here?” And in Vietnam, Gen. Willard Pearson, my brigade commander, actually shared a foxhole with me during the battle of Dak To.

I don't much care for Hackworth, who I believe complains too early and too often, but I agree with him in principle.

Covering your ass is death to a large enterprise.
