As a VN Vet I can say that those remarks made me want to tear his heart out and roast it on an open spit infront of his family....

...but then, I'm the easygoing glass half full kind of guy, many of my contemporaries have better and more creative ideas on how to make Rummy  STFU.

What Rummy said is consistent with my dad's description of a lot of the enlisted draftees in his command towards the end of the war.

Can someone, anyone of content describe what old rum had to say.  I cant even bare to look at web presentations.

I like the guy, he talks smart and seems to have a better grasp on u.s. military behemoth (aka pentagon) better than most.  But if he has gaffed something fierce then would like a sane persons description.

thnx in advance

Weazel, how about a real statement of your opinion on the issue of the draft instead of subjecting us to such a lengthy, canned and spinny propaganda political advertisement that requires no thought from you?

Ya gotta seperate performance and perception, the draftees did indeed perform extraordinarly well given the conditions they faced with the abrivieated training they recieved. I was an enlistee, when we recieved new fish as replacements we felt obligated to teach them the survival skills the Army neglected in basic. In the end, whether they were a draftee or enlistee it didn't matter much grunt to grunt.

Every citizen should be required to serve a minimum of two years in the military when they reach 18 yoa.

The ones who can't hack it can pick up trash along the highways.

With no "outs" because of who daddy is either.

The only exception should be that all aliens who wish to be naturalized should have to commit to four years minimum, it's only fair since they get to suck the government tit.

And Donald Rumsfeld needs his bellybutton kicked by a veteran or two, being one himself you would think he would appreciate the men who served whether voluntary or drafted.

Easy for you to say funked...seeing as your only contribution to the country has been sitting on your well exercised ass.

Put your money where your big mouth is and sign up...otherwise you should just shut-up on subjects you don't know anything about.

How do you know what I have contributed?  Equipment I worked on is fighting terrorism as we speak.  Beats the heck out of your current contribution - Anti-American propaganda in a time of war.

Oh you were in Vietnam?  God you really ARE becoming MG.  Did they kick you out for dealing meth too?  Don't even try to tell me that your REMF service during peacetime makes you more of an expert on Vietnam than I am.  

The fact is neither one of us is an expert, but I've got somebody who was there telling me that a lot of the draftees were even worse than what Rummy said.
