Silence Is Golden

Hagel Informs Them of Bergdahl’s Release, Troops React With Silence 

Via CBS News:
Questions persisted, too, about the circumstances of Bergdahl’s 2009 capture. Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel declined to comment on earlier reports that the sergeant had walked away from his unit, disillusioned with the war. Such matters “will be dealt with later,” Hagel said.
Hagel, visiting troops in Afghanistan, was met with silence when he told a group of them in a Bagram Air Field hangar: “This is a happy day. We got one of our own back.” It was unclear whether the absence of cheers and applause came from a reluctance to display emotion in front of the Pentagon chief or from any doubts among the troops about Bergdahl.

"Obowel stands in front of the cadets and gets silence. Hagel stands up in front of the troops and gets silence. Isn't it amazing the reception these assholes get when they talk to adults with brains and not the LIV's. They can see right through their bullshit, plus, they're smart enough to know
when they're being used as props for political hacks. It's like the awkward moment when a children's magician suddenly realizes he has an audience full of adults instead of the children he was expecting, and that they are not impressed with him pulling a quarter out from behind their ears, because they know the actual price for this dog and pony show is going to be paid in blood by them and their fellow soldiers. Thankfully, Americans are waking up. My question is, when will the media. "This is a happy day. We got one of our own back" says Chuckie. Unlke what happened to Ambassador Stevens and company, eh Chuck? Chuck must be talking about traitors cause he ain't talking about hero's. Hagel is a moron, and the troops know they're being lead by clueless morons." MC
