Did you find Rumsfeld offensive
Edited on Fri Dec-10-04 09:39 AM by GingerSnaps
When he threw up his arms and then gave the soldier attitude?

I was offended at his body language and the tone of his voice alone. :grr:

I have to be honest after I watched his actions I don't think that I heard what he was saying because his actions spoke louder than words.

3. Yeah
And what he said was offensive as well. Particularly since its BS. The only reason our soldiers have to do without is that we don't want to pay to get things done quickly, so we can preserve the tax cuts.

7. The only thing that could make him MORE offensive is a swastika tattoo
on his forehead, a la Charles Manson.

13. Yes, always, but
I agree that this incident was over the top. If I were in uniform in that audience, and he had said that "we go to war with the army we have, not the army we want," I would have been pissed.

My first response would have been, "well, buddy, then you go find the "army you want" and I'll just go home. Thanks for the support."

I think Rumsfeld was embarassed and PO'd that the audience cheered the soldier's question.

Just awful.

18. As the wife of an active duty military member
I found it incredibly offensive. I haven't seen video, but I've read written accounts, and just even his choice of words carried the subtext "Fuck the troops." I fucking loathe that man with every ounce of my being. :grr: I'd like to send him to Fallujah in an unarmored vehicle.
