R.I.P. Col. Hackworth

The obit can be found here.

Purists will recall the Colonel's prediction that the draft would have to be revived as soon as this summer owing to the Army and Marine Corp's inability to meet manpower goals.
We haven't heard much in the way of draft talk of late, but you never know with this gang in DC...and the Army and the Marines haven't met their manpower goals for the first quarter of this year.
So fare thee well, Colonel, you've gone to that lat muster.
May it be well for you.
