"Donald Rumsfeld stood straight up to the world and accepted responsibility for Abu Ghraib. He took it like a man. War is not woman’s work. It is man’s work – not because men are more brutal or stronger, but because they can endure the stresses of combat and be accountable for the failures those stresses inevitably create. They don’t whine, deviously evade, blame others, make up excuses, and whimper “It’s not my fault!” If they do, they are despised and looked upon with contempt by their male comrades."
Amen. There are only a few people even willing enough to point this out. There are always exceptions to the rule, but in this case, he's right on. So, kudos to you, sir.
Thanks for the great post, txradioguy.

I don't know, I know of a LOT of libs who do all of those things... it sounds like a spot-on description of clinton or kerry... I think it is wrong to say that women can't handle stress like men, based upon one terrible officer.
Right on!!!!!!!!
I know it is an old cliche expression - but that was my first reaction.
