History Making Chuck Hagel Resigns as Secretary of Defense
American
made history with the nominations and confirmation of the first enlisted man
given the highest job in our military.
The nomination and eventually confirmation of Chuck Hagel did more for
moral within the enlisted ranks than ever but this was never noted or reported
on because media seeks confrontation instead of collaboration.
Now
this media is all up in arms about Mr. Hagel’s resignation. In an effort to find some point of
confrontation, top media elites like Mark Murray of NBC wishes America to know
that his resignation is all about the White House having no confidence in his
leadership. They speak of having this
resignation coming at the wrong time and how it will be seen as disruptive to
the many functions that our military is involved in right now. Even after Chris Jansing, White House
Correspondence for NBC news attempted to clear that line of thinking by
reminding all that this post for Hagel was within the agreed upon 2 year hitch. Media ignores the body language of both
President Obama and Vice-President Biden as they said good bye to their friend
and they minimized the remarks of how proud and thankful Mr. Obama was for
Hagel being there. They wish not to see
any good in what Chuck Hagel has done and will only admit to it if that good
leads to anything they could turn into a confrontation. They use the fact that John McCain was
against Chuck Hagel being named as Secretary of Defense but they refuse to add
that John McCain was always going to be against anything this president would
do as well as very disappointed that he did not get offered the job. I wish media luck in finding individuals who
do not have negative things to say about anything they report on. In any job, there will be those who will
never be happy. If you truly wish to
know why Chuck Hagel has chosen this time to leave, consider this.
Chuck
Hagel is a man of action always was and always will be. He stepped into a job to get things done and
make life better for those often ignored by other individuals who have had that
job. He considered changes which would
begin the re-build of our military from the ground up not the top down. This new and fresher approach made military
enlisted men and women happy to see someone like them as their leader instead
of those adorned with brass. Chuck Hagel
is a man of his word always was and always will be. He gave the president his word that if
confirmed he would serve for 2 years and that is what he has done but this is
not confrontational enough so media keep digging. Chuck Hagel is man full of quiet confidence,
always was and always will be. A quiet
confidence allows you to get your point across without fireworks. Now Mr. Hagel knows that in the areas left to
confront and solve cannot be accomplished by him and as the man he is he says
it’s time to step aside so that an appropriate leader can be brought in.
This
is the man Chuck Hagel is and forgetting that by media is just as disrespectful
as anything they are attaching to this White House.
