Edited for not having read the full thread before shooting my mouth off:

So you told us. Let's see, ROTC, 3 years active Navy, Reserves Captain. Now there's qualification for SecDef if I ever saw it.

I'm still laughing.
4 yrs NROTC, 3 years active duty, 18 years drilling reserve, 7 years as SecDef (served twice), 7 years as a US Representative, 2 years as US ambassador to NATO, White House Chief of Staff...etc, etc....It is just silly to infer that he was not qualified. He was one of the most qualified SecDefs in history...certainly much more qualified that the incoming SecDef.
