“Eagle Scout. Young Republican. CIA recruit. Air Force officer. CIA director. Secretary of Defense.” That’s a quick overview of the impressive career of Robert Gates. And now, it’s fair to add civil rights campaigner to his list of gigs. From The Atlantic’s David A. Graham: “Robert Gates has now integrated two of the great bastions of macho American traditional morality — first the U.S. armed forces, and now the Boy Scouts of America.” (Since he’s integrated two macho institutions, I think it’s fair to call him a Macho Macho Man.)
