Maher: Isnât a dirty trick on the American people when you send a military man out there to basically do a political sell-job?â
Hagel: Itâs not only a dirty trick, but itâs dishonest, itâs hypocritical, itâs dangerous and irresponsible. The fact is this is not Petraeusâ policy, itâs the Bushâs policy. The military is â certainly very clear in the Constitution â is subservient to the elected public officials of this country.. but to put our military in a position that this administration has put them in is just wrong, and itâs dangerous.â
