The failures of Iraq and Afghanistan are the products of the elitism and pathological secrecy of the neo-conservatism.

Rumsfeld served as the 13th Secretary of Defense from 1975 to 1977 under President Gerald Ford, and as the 21st Secretary of Defense from 2001 to 2006 under President George W. Bush.

  • He served as the 21st United States Secretary of Defense, from January 20, 2001 to November 8, 2006, under President George W. Bush. He is the oldest and youngest person to have held that position and the only Secretary of Defense to never, not even once, consider the advice of any member of the United States Military on his staff in making decisions regarding military strategy or defense policy. Psychologists have suggested that he cannot hear them when they speak because he is distracted by the shiny medals pinned to their uniforms. Rumsfeld is the First Secretary of Defense with absolutely no military background, which only helped him obtain a clearer understanding of the military strategery, since he did not feel the need to mollycoddle Our Troops as one of their own.
