Reader comment on item: Romney Stumbles on Foreign Policy
in response to reader comment: Your analysis wrong, Daniel?

Submitted by szgabor (United States), Oct 23, 2012 at 18:39

Is this the same Rumsfeld, who said "we go to war with the army we have" Same Rumsfeld under whose leadership W. landed on the carrier under the banner Mission accomplished about 10 years early.

Same Rumsfeld who convinced Powell to make the famous speech at UN about the WMDs (I believe he already openly regretted that)

Wonder why you or anyone should regard Mr. Rumsfeld's opinion "highly". I am not saying he doesn't know military affairs what I am saying his philosophy of miltarism is the problem. All those who support all the wars and the troops but never have the risk of serving, of course have something to thank to Rumsfeld for. He put the burden solely on the lower middle and working class to ever serve. (I know some people go for a carrier ... but really ???)

Are you also highly regard Mr. Limbo's opinion ?
