Chuck Hagel’s ignored achievements
This is the second in a series on Chuck Hagel’s resignation as the secretary of defense. Click here to read the first part on how his resignation will impact the U.S.’s presence in the Middle East.Chuck Hagel, who has been forced to resign by President Barack Obama as secretary of defense, was no defeatist, pacifist or lah-de-dah, naïve idiot always ready to hate and condemn his own country.
He defined himself clearly as a Colin Powell-style strategist and patriot, determined to maintain America as the world’s foremost military power, but to do so responsibly and with restraint.
And that’s why he has just been forced out of arguably the most powerful executive job in government, with the usual pack of media hyenas sneering and snapping at his heels.
