“... just a little gentle advice to Ted, don’t be critisizing (sic) a veteren (sic) with 2 purple hearts when you’ve never served yourself.”

As a military wife, I applaud Senator Cruz for going after Hagel. My husband is equally in favor. Bless him for his service but, for the rest, the guy is ridiculously out of his league and lacks basic wisdom. Anyone who tows the line for Mr. Obama deserves to be criticized, particularly if he is a veteran.
I dislike traitor Hagel as much if not more than I do RINO McCain, but I’m looking at this from a political perspective. Among my circle of conservative friends (including several vets) whenever I’ve enthused about Ted Cruz I sometimes only get a lukewarm response. One doesn’t like the fact that he’s from Canada and until last year held dual citizenship. Another made some snarky response about what’s a Cuban doing in Canada, why isn’t he in South Florida like the rest of them. Then notes that Cruz’s father was a supporter of Fidel. And both of these guys are stalwart Republicans. Somehow I doubt either one of them is going to be thrilled with Cruz attacking Hagel, much as Hagel might deserved to be attacked, it’s more of an emotional reaction with them. Personally I’m more interested in policy than the other stuff, but not everyone necessarily sees things the way I do. Just saying.
