Hagel caught cheating on defense secretary proficiency exam
THE PENTAGON — Defense officials are in damage-control mode following the revelation from the Inspector General's office that Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel allegedly cheated on his annual proficiency exam.
The finding couldn't come at a worse time for the Pentagon, which is still dealing with an ongoing investigation into cheating amongst Air Force nuclear officers.
"In the course of our investigation, we found that Hagel repeatedly copied off numerous undersecretaries of defense during evaluations," the inspector general's office said in a statement. The IG noted that Hagel was likely trying to get ahead of younger officials who are gunning for the top spot.
