Reagan and Weinberger brought the Soviet Union to its knees.
I just retired after 23 years of military service (the first three being in the Army, last 20 in the USAF). I like Rumsfeld, BUT (and this isn't his fault), there was nothing better than serving when Cap Weinberger was SecDef and Ronald Reagan was President! I joined up because of Ronald Reagan. Imagine my trepidation at the thought of receiving my retirement certificate signed by John Kerry! I was very glad when Bush won reelection!
