Dang. Hagel is kicking ass. [View all]

I embedded video on WNN:

Things got a little heated on Capitol Hill today when Rep. Jeff Miller (R-FL) grilled Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel about why Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl has not yet been returned to the United States.

The video below is from the political news website Talking Points Memo (TPM). Here is one particularly testy exchange, as reported by TPM:

“Mr. Secretary, you keep saying we can’t get the facts from Sgt. Bergdahl until he gets home,” the congressman said. “Have you ever thought about going to Landstuhl and talking to him there?”

“Well, I don’t know how much medical training you had, congressman. I haven’t had much. And what we’re doing is we are allowing the doctors —” Hagel said before Miller cut him off.
