re: #319 Obdicut

Did you ever explain what your actual policy problems with Hagel are, by the way?

Yes, i did. His past statements about gays, Israel and Jews are troubling. I agree with Barney Frank that his backpeddling is only because of his nomination. Thankfully he won’t be setting policy as Sec of Def and as long as he can effectively follow the policy set out for him I don’t this his confirmation would be a disaster. I do think his nomination sends an unhelpful message. Personally he’s not somebody I’d hang out with.
