Really? You find no irony in a now eight page thread where there hasn't been a single post supporting the threads premise beyond smug nods of agreement?

What's "disingenuous" or political about asking for some supporting reason why Hagel will be a bad Sec Def? Let's face it, this is a bad time to be the head of the military as it struggles to deal with fewer resources. There will be a lot of blame placed on our leaders. Maybe that blame will be justified, maybe they'll do the best they can with the hand they were dealt, but probably the truth will lay somewhere in between. We've had some horrible (IMO) Sec Defs who had tremendous credentials for the position. Why don't we chill and give Hagel a chance?
