Chuck Hagel Advocated for Drastic Cuts, Elimination of U.S. Nuclear Arsenal -- Breitbart

Former Senator Chuck Hagel (R-Neb.) has spent a lot of time pressing for international reductions in nuclear arsenals.

And since joining hands with the anti-nuclear weapons group Global Zero in 2009, Hagel has not only supported a nuclear weapons-free America, but has even advocated unilateral U.S disarmament, "if necessary."

My Comment: Kudos to Breitbart for at least publicizing the news and information that the main stream media chooses to ignore. As for Chck Hagel's support for nuclear disarmament ..... this news does not surprise me. As I have already said in numerous past posts .... Chuck Hagel is exactly like Obama .... these are the policies that they both want in their hearts to implement. My only beef is why hide it .... and why does much of the media choose to ignore their positions. If you believe in something .... be vocal about it .... especially on important issues like nuclear deterrence and/or disarmament .... and let the debate begin. Unfortunately .... I know that this debate will not happen, and that Chuck Hagel will probably receive the support of about 70 senators.
