Overheard at the Pentagon:


Charles Hagel

“I want us to put a little more urgency into our efforts to ensure moral character and moral courage within our ranks. Or maybe I'll just keep sitting on my hands and not accomplishing a fucking thing.”

Secretary of Defense Charles ‘Chuck’ Hagel, following reports that senior sailors in the nuclear Navy had engaged in widespread cheating on certification tests. The reports followed on the heals of a similar cheating scandal in the Air Force. And that does not even begin to address the issue of sexual assault among military personnel.
