Avnery on Hagel
January 12, 2013
Welcome, Chuck!
I FIND Chuck Hagel eminently likeable. I am not quite certain why.
Perhaps it’s his war record. He was decorated for valor in
the Vietnam War (which I detested). He was a mere sergeant. Since I was a
mere corporal in our 1948 war, I find it elating to see a
non-commissioned officer become Minister of Defense.
Like so many veterans who have seen war from close up (myself included), he has become an enemy of war. Wonderful.
NOW Hagel is violently attacked by all the neocon
warmongers, almost none of whom has ever heard a bullet whistle in the
wars to which they sent others, and the combined political regiments of
the American Jewish establishment.http://robertjprince.wordpress.com/2013/01/10/uri-avnery-israeli-political-commentator-on-obamas-nomination-of-former-u-s-senator-r-neb-chuck-hagels-nomination-as-secretary-of-defense-or-obamas-revenge/
