Gates was the perfect bureaucrat. Always there, working late. Never suggesting anything new, but keeping the boys in line. He was such a sycophant, always there first to open the door for a superior. His first real promotion came as head of Europe — where he had no experience. I think his true colors finally emerge — now, a few months short of retirement. From my own experience in intel, he was always such a mincing primadonna, I thought he was a homosexual. I am probably mistaken, but how the hell getting rid of DADT will maintain good order in the military is beyond me. And, quite honestly, I have personally witnessed how a homosexual cabal can really screw up a military base. Indeed, it can happen.
Another treasonous b*stard. No wonder the marxist administration kept him on.
