"I don't know the tone with which Hagel uttered his snide comment on the Cheney shooting to the Omaha World-Herald that "If he'd (Cheney) been in the military, he would have learned gun safety" but unless it was a bad attempt at a joke, this comes across as the type of cheap shot I'd expect from left-wing partisans."

I've heard that sort of comment/joke plenty from conservatives as well as liberals.

May-be Chucky's buddy Bill Clinton should have been in the military, we wouldn't be looking for OBL and 911 wouldn't have happened.
