Obama roasted hero Hagel for Thanksgiving but pardoned the real turkey of America's defense - himself

Senator Chuck Hagel, America’s defense secretary, was today chosen as President Obama’s sacrificial human Thanksgiving turkey.
As we disseminate that shock decision, it’s important to remember the kind of man Senator Hagel is and what qualified him for the job.
Hagel served on the ground in the jungles of Vietnam and Cambodia throughout 1968, the worst year of the war in which nearly 17,000 Americans died.
On March 28, 1968, Hagel and his brother Tom were crossing a stream when a mine exploded. It killed a number of men.
Tom Hagel looked back and saw Chuck lying on the ground, blood pumping from his chest. ‘Every heartbeat it would squirt out,’ he recently recalled in an interview with Politico.
On Monday President Obama clapped for and praised Chuck Hagel after forcing him out
