    interesting list of Chickenhawks. but i think you are wrong about Rumsfeld.
    he did serve in the military. check it out.
    mistakes like this will only diminish your status.

    otherwise, a great site.

    Thanks Don,

    I knew Rumsfeld had been a pilot in the Navy, but I could never find anything that showed he had actually been involved in a conflict. From what I’ve seen, he came in after Korea and before Vietnam.

    If wrong, however, I’d change the photo, just haven’t seen where he was ever in combat.

    Thanks again,

    Bill
