Totally agree with Boomer's remarks. I believe that Gates is the worse Secretary of defense in my life time( served U.S. Army 1967-1990 retiring as CWO) and I've seen the bungling jobs these PC progressive slobs have done to my Army from the inside and outside. It's time to put a halt to there political corruption and vote their mentors out. Donald R. Hohman CWO USA (Ret) POW.
