At Camp Casey, Rumsfeld wows 'em with performance on tank simulator
Maybe Rummy and the AWOL having been hitting the video games together.

Perhaps Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld missed his true military calling. On his first stop of a whirlwind tour of U.S. installations Tuesday in South Korea, Rumsfeld wowed soldiers by hitting seven of seven targets in an Army tank simulator.

As soldiers and officers waited outside the cramped simulator, sounds of mock battle could be heard emanating from within. One officer poked his head in the door, then turned and reported Rumsfeld had hit his first target with the simulator’s main gun.

“Is he going to take your job?” Maj. Gen. John Wood, 2nd ID commander, jokingly asked Sgt. William Vaughn, a tank crewmember.

“I hope not, sir. I like my job,” Vaughn replied.
