Strawman of the day

Rumsfeld on This Week with George Stephanopolous:

Let me say another thing. A lot of people never liked the all-volunteer force. Every once and a while you get into a situation like this...You see people around the edges opining that "Gee, it's not going to work...It's not going to work." Let me tell you, it IS working. Our volunteer force is vastly better than a conscript force.

He interrupted Stephanopolous to get that question in. Asshat.
