Col. David H. Hackworth was most recently known as a journalist/writer, but his heart always belonged to the battlefield...
http://www.hackworth.com/
True story:
Hack and I got into a fistfight at a party in DC over some disparaging comments he made regarding Admiral Boorda.
He later retracted the statements for being inaccurate, and sent me a handwritten letter of apology.
He was a hell of a soldier, and a hell of a guy.

The cause of death was not immediately released.
Sargent was also president of the East Coast wing of the Writers Guild of America for the past 14 years.
"Herb was exceptionally generous to all writers and brought an unfailing sense of decency and good will to everything he did for the guild," WGA East executive director Mona Mangan said. "And, always, he was gloriously, brilliantly funny. We will miss him terribly"
