The most ironic title ever: "Why he fights: Donald Rumsfeld"

Now I understand Mr. Rumsfeld was in the Navy, but he wasn't in any wars. So he technically(and actually) has never fought in his entire life.

"Why he fights" should be more like "Why he never fought"

2. Well he would-a fought

but unfortunately for him there was no war going on at the time. (Ain't that right Momma?)

He was an AVIATOR. I wonder if he was a pilot. His bio seems to skim over his aviator stuff leaving it up in the air as it were and sort of.

I have read such about him. If he authored his own bio I remain a skeptic.

As an eight year Navy Vet I understand how easy it is to BS the people. And oh boy have I ever seen it done at the local VFW? You bet!

3. How about "Why he fights liberals", that's more honest.

They spend more time figuring out how to divide and conquer the US more than everything else combined.

4. That line of thought is wrong..

He is an ass but,

He was a naval aviator, a dangerous job, and flight instructor.

That makes him an intelligent opponent.

Discounting someones military status because they were not "shot at" is not right.

7. I'm fighting Donald Rumsfailed.

For the sake of this country, he needs to go. I called the White House, and reminded them of that.

Of this entire bunch, there is no one as obnoxious as Rumsfailed. He takes the cake.
