        @BeschlossDC that speaks to the incredibly low number of respected defense experts on the left side of politics today. #UglyFact

        @BeschlossDC . Good point, Sir. Excellent point. McNamara was a sour appointment to say the least. This one looks scary.

        @BeschlossDC I am guessing GOP sec defs partly a result of post-"who lost China" environment? Perception of GOP as strong on defense?

        @BeschlossDC Dems pick the best person for the job regardless of party. GOP picks are all political.

        @BeschlossDC RINO's yes and not one a conservative. Hagel is a unqualified anti Semitic who got it wrong on surge and Iran.
