Look at John Kerry and Chuck Hagel, two wounded combat veterans of the Vietnam War. Theyve got five purple hearts between them. Thats the kind of people we want withdrawing from Afghanistan and ending this insane war and occupation and focusing the country on using the American military to stay out war, but if we get in war to win war and win it quickly, he said.
Cleland said the pair will bring harmony to the civilian and military sides of American foreign policy.
I see them as the perfect dynamic duo Batman and Robin, Salt and Pepper, Tom and Jerry. Whatever you want to call it, instead of State and DoD fighting each other all the time as is historically the case, I see them hand-in-glove together, he said. The two share a common background, he added. They have both been shot at and hit.

(27,315 posts)Just a question: who is Batman and who is Robin?
Anyway, for all my reservations concerning Hagel, it will be good to have two people on the same wavelength when it comes to these issues (and hopefully on the right wavelength).
