I'm not comfortable having someone lead the Department of Defense who has never served in any branch of the Armed Forces.

Cheney excepted?

"Cheney excepted? "

Sure, Cheney was great. But, one time someone went over Niagra Falls in a wooden barrel and lived to talk about it. Does that mean going over Niagra Falls in a wooden barrel is a good idea? Probably not.

Just because we've had some successful Secretaries of Defense that we're not prior service, doesn't mean it's a good idea.
