Chuck Hagel Will Be The First "Grunt" To Head The U.S. Department Of Defense

Former Sen. Chuck Hagel was a sergeant in 1968 when he served in Vietnam. Library of Congress

WNU Editor: For more on this story .... go here. The US Secretary of Defense has always been a political job .... acting as a liaison between the White House, Congress, and the military. Having a soldier who has experienced war at the top defense job is a change .... how his war experiences will impact his analysis and decision making process is something that we will have to wait and see.
