Senator Chuck Hagel (R-NE) discusses his new book In America: Our Next Chapter. He discusses domestic issues—including the health care crisis, immigration, and Social Security and Medicare reform—and climate change. Hagel confronts foreign policy problems that the current administration has bungled or ignored, including China’s growing economy; control of U.S. debt; India’s and Pakistan’s nuclear capabilities; and Iran’s aggressive political, ideological, and nuclear stances.
Hagel is one of the few real Republicans left.

if only he wasn’t a supporter of conscription
On the pro side, a draft distributes the burden of combat across the population (except those with money enough to dodge it). People are also forced to pay attention to what their country is doing.
And this is not meant to endorse the idea of a draft. I just understand why some people think we ought to have it.
lol.
the video is a good representation of trying to save face and representation.
it’s like calling it bush’s war. what a crock. it’s a bipartisan endeavour.
