CH waxing on about Vietnam, 1968, experiencing war, blah,blah,blah.
War is dirty business, don;t want to deal with these realities.
Faced with unpleasant choices.
Hard choices(there’s that term again) have to be made.
Hagel says President has constitutional authority to protect American citizens and soldiers, and that’s what he did.
Says he has always been transparent with this committee as SecDef,that’s what I demanded when I was on the other side as a Senate.
Circumstances surrounding my decision were imperfect, Prez is same decision.
Says he met with the special operators who retrieved Bergdahl, took risks to “recover one of their own”
Sorry, folks, can barely wade through all of this BS.
Good job. Accurate transcription is not my strong suit, but, I bet some cubicle bound will appreciate it.
