An article suggesting Rummy overrode the military, general staff reccomendations due to his egomaniacal personality was just pulled. I think it was a mistake.
Articles like this are the current corrosive mantra but they are easily and logically debunked.
I suggest that replys which debunk these tantrums are instructive to the thousands lurking on this forum. We face these criticisms daily. Why not disarm them before they get traction.
