Not to mention that he has had to reform the institution and rebuild the military after it was cut drastically during the '90's.

Donald Rumsfeld was and is a hawk whose policy appeared to be shoot first and think about the consequences after. Mind you saying that, you have had some serious dipsh**s as defence secretaries in the past but he was about as evil as they get. I am also glad he has gone, I'm just worried about who follows him.
