If anyone had any doubts that the fears that Hagel would be Obama's wrecker of an already beleaguered Dept of Defense, this speech was your confirmation.
Hagel and Obama will dismantle the military piece by piece. Also, in case someone cannot read between the lines: active duty and veteran's healthcare is about to eviscerated even further.

The US military is reeling. $487 Billion in cuts that began in 2011. Another $650 Billion in cuts due to Sequestration. And now this.
