Donald Rumsfeld has passed away. Weather you liked him or not I will always remember seeing him help evacuate the wounded away from the Pentagon after the September 11 attack.

RIP, sir. Thank you for your service to this country... "If you’re a leader, you lead the way. Not just on the easy ones; you take the tough ones too…” – MAJ Richard D. Winters (1918-2011), E Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne "Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil... Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel." - Isaiah 5:20,24 | |||

It turns out Rumsfeld was stationed at Glenview NAS ((IL) until he went to Congress in '62. So I grew up with him flying overhead as the landing path was our road that led to the runway a mile plus up the road. Nice to put a face on one of those countless pilots from back in the day. RIP Donald Rumsfeld. Set the controls for the heart of the Sun. | |||

He served his country in the Navy as a pilot, as a representative and then under two different presidents from two separate eras. It had been quite awhile since this nation had such a force in a presidential cabinet, the nation's press had a difficult time dealing with him and in many instances, it was refreshing to hear & see. He was the right guy to be a post-Cold War SecDef but, highly questionable for his handling of post 9/11 events and the subsequent actions. In my mind, he'll forever be tied to the word, 'transformationalism', and what it's done to the Navy. RIP Mr.Rumsfeld | |||

I refuse to criticize a man just because he got whipsawed by history. He was hired to drastically pare down and modernize the military, he generated a lot of hostility among the brass hats for doing so, and he was only then asked to pivot and deal with the global war on terror. RIP, jefe. I'll always keep a copy of the book of poetry you never realized you'd written. There are known knowns, there are known unknowns, and there are unknown unknowns | |||

"There are known knowns. These are things we know that we know. There are known unknowns. That is to say, there are things that we know we don't know. But there are also unknown unknowns. There are things we don't know we don't know." I always liked that quote. | |||

I was not as into politics then as I am now, but I just remember how much the Left hated him. Always made me think he must have been doing something right. ___________________________ All it takes...is all you got. ____________________________ For those who have fought for it, Freedom has a flavor the protected will never know ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ | |||

| His diet consists of black coffee, and sarcasm.  |
I believe he was both the youngest and oldest Secretary of Defense ever, under Gerald Ford and W. Bush, respectively. | |||

The man understood both his office & role perfectly. Has never been another like him. I truly admired his handling of the media. Rest easy, sir. ______________________________________________ Life is short. It’s shorter with the wrong gun… | |||
