Personally, I think that no matter what, most cabinet positions are just yes-men/women for the Preisdent anyway (read: if people are upset about war, they should go further than the SecDef and blame the man at the top), but it does show you how the current administration appears to be scrambling to cut its losses in the court of public opinion.
Side note: I think there should be one rule established in cabinet positions --we should require that any potential Secretary of Defense have previous military experience. If your job is to work with the military, you should understand it from the viewpoint of someone who has been a member of it. Thoughts?
