ONE SOLDIER'S OPINION OF DONALD RUMSFELD
Follow the link to a must-read e-mail from an Army Captain (Doctor) to his brother (and posted on the brother's blog) about an encounter between a wounded soldier and Donald Rumsfeld.
FYI, the coin talked about in the e-mail (Rumsfeld gives a coin to the soldier) refers to a special coin that the SECDEF has (and other General officers have) to give as a sign of special recognition to a soldier. I have two myself from the CG of the 59th Ordnance Brigade during my service with that unit in the late '80s.

"What makes a man who has been so close to death, and maimed for life, come to the defense of the Army's highest ranking official? Loyalty, I dare say. Did Rob think Mr. Rumsfeld was having a self-esteem problem? In his greatest hour of need, his thoughts went to the emotional needs of another."
While I will pray for "Rob" and I am proud of him for thinking of the "emotional needs of another," the simple fact is that Rumsfeld should be fired. He is a disgrace. He listened to the wrong people when undertaking this dispicable invasion. As well, we all forget that two decades ago, Rumsfeld was a good friend of Saddam, when he was our pet dictator. Instead of standing up to his well-known tyranny at the time, we coddled Saddam and gave him his WMDs. So now, thousands of young Robs and tens of thousands of Iraqis, must die needlessly to fix the sins of our fathers and clowns like Rumsfeld.
