He quickly adapted to the harsh conditions and relentless enemy tactics, earning a reputation for his aggressive and innovative approach to warfare. Leading from the front, Hackworth often found himself in the thick of the action, displaying exceptional bravery and tactical acumen. His ability to inspire and lead his men under fire resulted in numerous successful engagements against Chinese forces.

I first came across the name of Col. David Hackworth while reading an Army publication I found in our company office. I was in the Marine Corps at the time. It was a thin pamphlet, co-authored with BGen. S.L.A. Marshall, a famous name I recognized. Looking back, I think Marshall probably had little to do with writing any of it. "A Vietnam Primer". The distillation of combat experience fighting the VC, their tricks and tactics. It was a fascinating read and a highly instructive little book. This was post-war, 1976-78, but it was still eye opening and very educational, a real primer in what infantry combat was all about.
