He is the reason for the mess, I will never forget his dumbass Humvee armor comment and I really remember the people trying to defend his comment. Civilians had/have no idea what it's like to patrol the streets of an unfriendly city for the sole purpose of drawing fire. A guy would think that at the bare minimum the guy sending them into the fire could provide adequate protection, it seems funny that Rumsfeld rode around Iraq in a "bomb bus" that withstand a Nuke while he put troops in paper thing trucks.
He's an ass plain and simple.
