I hope Rummy comes back swinging at Effin Kerry.

Is Kerry questioning Rumsfeld's patriotism??? ;)

Rumsfeld served in the U.S. Navy (1954-57) as an aviator and flight instructor. In 1957, he transferred to the Ready Reserve and continued his Naval service in flying and administrative assignments as a drilling reservist until 1975. He transferred to the Standby Reserve when he became Secretary of Defense in 1975 and to the Retired Reserve with the rank of Captain in 1989.

the rank of Captain in 1989

Which is the same rank as Major in the other branches of service (if I remember the Naval chain of command correctly). A tick or two under Admiral.

Thanks for this:

Compare that to al Querry's miserable military record:
