A life built upon truth is often a life of challenge, when much is at stake. The life of Admiral William L. Schachte, Jr., navigates the waters of truth in a world where shoals of malfeasance are all too common. From Vietnam Swift Boats—to the Black Sea Incident with the Soviet Russians—to the infamous Tailhook Scandal—one man of character connects all three events. He fought in America’s most controversial war, advised our national leaders on international maritime law, and insisted upon proper military decorum throughout his beloved U.S. Navy. Political historians will validate that Admiral Schachte likely changed the outcome of a U.S. presidential election. He did so by speaking truth to power. It was his duty, as he saw it, and not a choice. Our republic’s very health depends upon a commitment to the truth.
