Gates was a good public servant.
I’d still rather have Don Rumsfeld at the helm of DOD, warts and all.

Both Rumsfeld and Gates have their strenghts and weaknesses. If it wasn’t for his caving on DADT, Gates would have been a decent SECDEF in many ways.

I really have no major beef with Gates, but I have very great respect for Don Rumsfeld, and I am totally convinced that he acted in what he saw as the best interests of our country, and was and is one of the greatest patriots in the service of our country.
