That was Rumsfeld's answer to a soldier asking him why do our troops have to rumage around junk yards to find armor for their vehicles? Rumsfeld served 3 years in the Navy during peace time. .Current Sec of Defense, Leon Panetta served in the army during the Vietnam War. Which one got Bin Laden? Panetta did! Leon Panetta is a true American hero! Rumsfeld was just protecting his own interests.

Rumsfeld was a contradictory asshole who lied his ass off about the war. Of course he wasn't afraid of terrorists. He was too much of a pussy foot to ever pick up a rifle and join the military in his youth. He'd rather send others to do it for him, while he was making money off his ties to defense contractors.

He's your classical chickenhawk. He loves a good war he doesn't have to fight in.

Rumsfeld had balls and he was not afraid of terrorists. Those are both rare things these days.

Rumsfeld is a horrible man. He should have been relieved of his post immediately. Yeah, he's an "old man" all right, unlike all the brave Soldiers who will be maimed or die and he stands there and dares to say such a thing. They should have "let him go to war...".

One of the last American heroes ?If you were a real patriot you would know a little more about him.Even Richard Nixon described him as 'A devious little shit'

Rumesfeld one of the last American heroes.

Doesnt matter if the reporter was planned or not, Rumsfeld was still an ass.

[Bluesman63]

Rumsfeld is one of the most truly despicable people ever to serve. It's way past time to hold this asshole as well as Cheney and all their enablers accountable for all the lives lost in Iraq as well as shaming this great nation with the stigma of torture. War crimes trials can ensure this will never happen again.

@nly8nchz -- QED.

@nly8nchz I see from your "favorites" that you wouldn't be satisfied until Rumsfeld legalized pot.
