Many Good Men Lost Their Lives in Korea (ep. 8) 

Hackworth was known for his hands-on leadership style, often sharing the same hardships and dangers as his soldiers. Hackworth’s commitment to leading from the front and his ability to empathize with his troops earned him their trust and loyalty. He prioritized their welfare, consistently advocating for better training, equipment, and tactics to ensure their safety and effectiveness in combat. Hackworth's willingness to listen to his men, understand their needs, and stand up for them in the face of bureaucratic indifference set him apart as a leader. This close-knit bond not only boosted morale but also created a cohesive and resilient fighting force, exemplified during his time with units such as the 27th Wolfhound Regiment in Korea and later during his service in Vietnam.
