re: #42 Gus

Not Rumsfeld.

Rumsfeld was in Congress during the Vietnam War. He also played a leading role in getting rid of the draft, which eliminated the issues deferments and draft discrimination. The elimination of the draft is a reason to have some appreciation for Donald Rumsfeld.

But then again, had Rumsfeld not returned as SecDef in 2001, he would be thought of a minor but successful figure within the 1960’s-1990’s GOP. But return he did, and having done so he screwed up rather badly.
