to be fair, Rumsfeld wanted out of Afghanistan... he just wanted to exit through Iran and make a big mess along the way. Didn’t have a good plan on how to make it happen other than going to war with any non-friendly territory touching Iran’s borders and hope that baited Iran into starting something, but that was what he wanted to do.
I was listening to the end of the 5 PM Fox News show, Bill Bennett made what I considered to be a very accurate statement. The republican NEO-cons were more interested in democracy in other countries than they were to listening(democracy)to the people of the United States. It sounds so true.
Pretty much draft deferments, National Guard, and others with no skin in any war make too many decisions. They do not fight, their children do not fight, just others and their children.
