I always liked Gates. He was a pragmatic man. Unlike Rumsfeld.

Gates is a self-serving, irrational, fag-hag, opportunist. He is responsible for destroying moral in the military while on Bush's and Obama's leash. The only loyalty shown by Gates was to himself along with his bank account.

BTW, the US military is "gassed" after idiotic adventures in the Middle-East. Our incompetent foreign policy started by Bush (Father) is the reason why Putin is in the position he is in. Europe's defense should not be in a position to solely rely on the United States, yet we subsidize that area while our debt spirals out of control. We created Putin (Frankenstein's monster) due to DECADES of incompetence, not just in the last 5 years of Obama.

Maybe Gates will finally open the "gates" for adult sodomites to run wild in the Boy Scouts, just like he wished the DOD to do. Would that be pragmatic?
