Waht the hell happened to Hagel? He looks like he was in a bar brawl.

And ironically, that pic is under this headline:

Hagel unveils four new initiatives to fight sex assault in the U.S. military:

What Happened to Chuck Hagel's Face?
The head of America's fighting forces lost a war with a kitchen cabinet.
Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel speaks during a news conference at the Pentagon, Friday, Nov. 14, 2014, where he announced that he is ordering top-to-bottom changes in how the nation's nuclear arsenal is managed, vowing to invest billions of dollars more to fix what ails a force beset by leadership lapses, security flaws and sagging morale.

Ouch.

Chuck Hagel, the head of America’s fighting forces, tried to make his conspicuous face injury sound hardcore during a press conference on Friday.

“I engaged the corner of a kitchen cabinet,” the defense secretary said, using the same kind of terminology combat forces employ to describe shooting an insurgent. “It didn’t work out well for me.”

than the story Hagel told.

An encounter with a kitchen cabinet could leave a bruise but it looks like he has a scab from a cut or scratch that bled. I don't see a counter doing that.
