Rummy At Fort Campbell

Posted By Blackfive

Secretary of Defense, the Rumster, visited Ft. Campbell recently to tell the troops how wonderful they are...and I'm sure most of Special Forces guys were looking at their watches wondering how much time Rummy was cutting out of Happy Hour.

...The secretary got some chuckles from the crowd when he told them he's embarrassed to admit the last time he was at Fort Campbell was 1976. During that visit, he said, he met an Army colonel by the name of Colin Powell who was stationed there.

"Now, of course, he's the secretary of state," Rumsfeld said. "It's always nice to see a young fellow get ahead like that."

Then the secretary joked about himself being back in the same job – another stint as secretary of defense. "I feel like a gerbil," he said. "I get up every morning, run like the dickens, and I stay right where I am."...
