I like Rumsfeld.
1. He had enough faith in Special Ops to let the Afghanistan plan be executed despite the objections of the conventional Army.
2. He brought General Schoomaker out of retirement.
3. He got the Air Force to switch mission priorities so that Close Air Support is now their number one priority.
4. He is ramrodding the reorganization of our military in order to create more flexible organizations with a better tooth to tail ratio. Something that I think was long overdue.
5. He is actually taking on the conventional cold war mentalities head on.
6. He is paying attention to realities that have existed for a long-time, but which no one has been willing to admit (like the fact that if North Korea comes south, the only way we can defend South Korea is with nukes).
