Under the right person sure. Under Rummy whom I served under during his first miserable tenure and saw the results? No! I'm not lying about it Rummy was Secretary of Defense under Gerald R. Ford and started us into some of the military darkest days Post Nam up till the policies Poppy Bush and Clinton started. I'm not a Cheney fan nor a Aspin, Perry, or Cohen fan either.

Caspar "Cap" Willard Weinberger? Now there was a man who knew what he was doing. That man was our absolute best Secretary of Defense post WW2. I wish we had his wisdom and insight the past 6 years. He was the man who turned things around. Too bad some couldn't wait to undo all the positive changes he made.

BTW not much information is available about him but Secretary of the Navy Edward Hidalgo Oct 79-Jan 81 seemed to have some idea of why he was actually there. Under him a lot of reform took place in the Navy. Everything from return to tradition such as traditional uniforms, Bosuns whistles, addressing morale, addressing discipline, and addressing retention. I was a MM3 in October 1980. The standing retention offer was $15,000 and E-5 plus 2 years shore duty. He also brought in on a volunteer basis Fleet Reservist {Retired Lifers} to restore some order and tradition. About 6 months before I got out my Chief was one of those who came back in.
