Would rather have Hagel as well... a real veteran who can stand up to those chickenhawks who lust for war so long as their lives, limbs and offspring remain comfortably out of harm's way.

I have often wished that we could return to the days where those who led the charge, so to speak, became the leaders. Washington, Grant, Eisenhower Kennedy
