Nicely written and a strong argument. Rumsfeld's is definitely an uneven legacy with the closing ledger in the negative. I served two tours in the Rumsfeld Pentagon, first in 2001-2003 while on the Joint Staff and again 2006-2008 on the SecDef staff. By the time I returned in 2006, the Rumsfeld shine had worn very thin. The day he finally departed you could sense a very palpable sense of relief throughout the building. I did have the forethought to print out a copy of his final Snowflake, which stated humorously that it was his final one and any outstanding Snowflakes were dismissed.
