Fred Mertz - This Rummy guy is a major part of the problem. I haven't paid a dime to Tricare and don't plan to either. I'll just die young.
exodus - Rumsfeld is a flunky. Rumsfeld only does or says things that he has permission to do or say. President Bush is the one who said he would veto veteran benefits if Congress passed them, just as Bush is the one who said he would sign a bill to extend the "assault weapon" ban.

Sure, Squantos.

I mean that Rumsfeld is not in charge. His position is as a follower of his political leader, not as the one who makes the decisions. Fred Mertz said that Rumsfeld was a problem; I pointed out that Rumsfeld is just following orders.

Rumsfeld serves at the pleasure of Bush.

Rumsfeld does not do or say anything that would anger his boss.
