      Bob Gates is routinely hailed as a sage-like figure who's above it all, but what did he actually achieve? Nothing. Highly overrated person.

          he opposed, in vain obvs, Obama's Libya war. Not sure if anything else he's done has topped that.

          If anything, he is an example of how US foreign policy has not fundamentally changed with the current administration.

          He was crucial to the Iran contra stuff so I guess that means he was successful.

          agreed. Bipartisan praise usually means you're a mediocre schmuck, milquetoast character. No enemies in life = no accomplishments
