Even some of the troops feel that Rumsfeld should resign. Not because he is disliked, but because he mad some significant misjudgements. This makes interesting reading.

BLACKFIVE: Soldiers’ Voices
Everyone likes Rummy. However, nine soldiers think that he should resign immediately after the elections in Iraq. The rest think June is more appropriate for Rummy to step down.
If a Commander in the field had the same kind of problems that SecDef had, he/she would have been removed. It’s a responsibility issue, not a like/dislike issue. He should accept responsibility and step down. Most feel that it’s not fair to have higher standards for Soldiers than for the Civilian leaders of the DOD.
