Obviously, you are a proponent of degrading our efforts in Iraq.

Obviously, you are an idiot. I served honorably for over 10 years and I reject your blithering comment. Where did YOU serve?

No replacement could fit Rumsfelds shoes in what he has accomplished in these dire times however, the shouts from the media for his removal is apparently effective in guaranteeing a degraded performance in Iraq for the likes of YOU are falling for it.

Nobody would be calling for Rumsfeld's head if he wasn't actually DOING stupid stuff like this (or, not doing it as the case may be). And I would like to see you deny that you would not be doing the same thing if a Secretary of Defense during the Clinton administration had done (or not done) the same thing.

Obviously, you are an idiot.

Obviously my FRiend you have chosen your words unwisely.

Lest you refrain from emotional outbursts and focus on intelligent discussion.

Your diatribe against Rumsfeld on this issue is regrettable in that it effects the moral of our troops who care for him very much as well as encouraging the enemy to fight even harder in the hopes we will just self destruct due to infighting. It is important we present a united front before the enemy. I was in the military for 22 years and do not believe the SECDEF signed 55,000 letters to the next of kin during the VN conflict, do you? It is the unit commander and/or the Chaplin that does these sorts of things.
