Colonel David Hackworth was a distinguished United States Army officer known for his leadership in the Korean War and Vietnam War. He commanded the Tiger Force unit in South Vietnam and was recognized as the youngest US colonel in Vietnam. General Creighton Abrams commended him as the best battalion commander he had ever seen. Hackworth faced controversy over unauthorized decorations, but an audit later cleared him of any wrongdoing, attributing the issue to a US Army administrative error.
