Nothing. The Secretaries of Defense, or War, have not traditionally written these letters. It's been the duty of the unit commander to do so, since he was there and had personal knowledge of said event. Rummy was doing more than customary, and now he's being roasted for it. Ironically, had he done less, there would be no call for complaint.
Frankly as the recipient (mom received I was there) of such a letter I fully understand. What I do not understand is how one assumed that I was saying his character was in question. Where the hell did I say that?
He has done a fine job. If I felt other wise well then Dave would not be serving in our great military, if I lost confidence up the chain of command. Well, we would talk about but really, folks are so quick to post a response and frankly then someone else reads it, reposts it and then everyone seems to think it is true, when I only said what does this say about his character == sorry I did not put the word HONORABLE thought that was self explanatory.
