Colonel David Hackworth threw his career away by going on television to say the Vietnam War could not be won.
But when he finally determined that the war was not going to be won, it couldn't be won the way that it was being won. While he was on active duty, he threw his career away. He went on television. He went on one of the Sunday shows and said, I can't do this anymore. I can't be a prop for all these lies. This meat grinder that's not going to work, can't work, been here, done everything.
