Chuck Hagel, visiting troops in Afghanistan, was met with silence when he told a group of them in a Bagram Air Field hangar: “This is a happy day. We got one of our own back.” They know. The silence is deafening — watch.

CBS News:

Questions persisted, too, about the circumstances of Bergdahl’s 2009 capture. Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel declined to comment on earlier reports that the sergeant had walked away from his unit, disillusioned with the war. Such matters “will be dealt with later,” Hagel said.

You have to feel sorry for Chuckie. Unlike Kerry and Obama and Hillary, he’s just plumb stupid.

There appears to be one uniformed woman wearing a pistol on her left leg to the secretary’s right. Behind him is somebody wearing something I don’t recognize, a civilian contractor? He has an assault weapon. Have they changed the rules and are now allowing military personnel to carry weapons on base?

Hagel is dressed like he is taking the wife out to Golden Corral or somthing. What a disgrace. He like his boss are out of their league when addressing our military!

Obama BROUGHT in Hasan and then protected him.
Result: More Hasans.

Obama REJOICES in treason and desertion.
Result: More destruction of America’s principles
for Obama’s lying, attacking, deceiving, murdering Islam.

Assault weapon guy is a member of a Personal Security Detail. Most likely a contractor. That’s their uniform.

Don’t blame Obama, only.

We have THREE branches of government but only the executive seems to be vocal and active.

Anyone knows what the other two are doing to keep this country safe?

Hagel said he knew of no soldiers that died trying to save Bowe Bergdahl! I guess the family members of the dead vets are lying too!

Time to start the process of getting the truth, but instead, I'm guessing we'll only get a major whitewash and a 'classified report.'

Swappers
These five mad dogs may be just the beginning of the lame duck 0bama's pardons.

This is going to be a rough ride.

If only we had Republicans with a spine in the leadership.
