Schoomaker's a good soldier. If he says he needs the money, he needs the money. I'll trust him before I'll trust Rummy.

I second that. I had the pleasure to conduct a briefing for him once, when he came to our forward deployed location. He's a razor sharp, no nonsense, straight shooting guy, and can spot BS ten clicks out. He's exactly the kind of person you'd hope would be the Army Chief of Staff.
Rummy's got balls, and there's a lot to be said for that. But as far as knowing what the Army needs, you'd be a fool to bet on anyone but Gen Schoomaker.
