A Lt Col???? Are we scraping the bottom of the officer barrel??
I don’t think we have had a Sec Defense who also had a military background and had so lite a one as this one.
As old as they are I’d take a Cheney or Rumsfield over this guy.
Not Rumsfeld. He said (along with John F. Kerry and John McCain) that there were no living POWs in Southeast Asia in 1991. There were, at the time, more than 100 living POWs in Southeast Asia, including some who were rescued/escaped later.
