If you are active duty, you either work from the inside for change, or you muster out. Calling for active duty officers to take on the Secretary of defense is dangerous and unwarranted. I think Rumsfeld's handling of the war has been criminally incompetent, but I don't want active brass to do anything but follow orders from the president, speaking through Rumsfeld.
Civilians control the Pentagon. Until Bush replaces him, active duty officers either do the best they can to work around his incompetence, or retire.
Hancock, you're the only "Hanoi Jane" here. Rumsfeld has given more aid and comfort to the enemy than all the "lefties" in the world combined. By supporting incompetence, you support the enemy.
