HONOLULU — It was a muted but multicolored sea of camouflage as several hundred military personnel from across the service branches gathered Thursday in a hangar at Hickam Field to listen to Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel.
Dressed casually in slacks and a short sleeve shirt for the tropical weather, Hagel stood before an F-22 Raptor, a stealth fighter jet, as he delivered brief remarks and then took questions.
One young naval officer wanted to know how the Pentagon is responding to the rising tide of cyberattacks.
