We talked about his book, said I liked it and thought he was the best SecDef I had the pleasure of working for in my career, had some great steak, his wife is very quiet, but very nice. They are both very nice and gracious folks…told him AR 10T said hello...

I caught his interview on CSPAN Book TV,it's a shame the media is distorting what he wrote. We need more straight shooters like him to educate the public on what our government is actually doing as opposed to what they and the media claim.
I envy you OC, I'd love to have a conversation with the man and the chance to give him a salute! :usa:

I saluted him FIRST, then extended my hand in a handshake. Yes it did return my salute...REALLY a nice guy, easy to talk to, kinda like talking to an old friend or family member.

I served under a bunch of SecDefs from 67 - 94, some I don't remember, some I do and wish I didn't, some were really mixed. Rumsfeld was one of those. I like a LOT of his thinking, but was opposed to his views and end strength vs mission. He heaped missio upon mission but was against increases in end strength!
