The man who was largely responsible for the deployment of American troops to Afghanistan and Iraq during the Bush administration has died, at the age of 88.

Donald Rumsfeld coordinated America’s Middle East conflicts… following the 9/11 attack on the World Trade Centres.

Rumsfeld was tasked to deploy US forces to fight two of the country’s longest wars.

In 2002, he said, “defending against terrorism and other emerging 21st-century threats requires that we take the war to the enemy.”

Rumsfeld was a renowned diplomat before he became an aide to George W Bush.

He was the youngest ever defence-secretary at 43 years of age throughout the 1970s during the Ford presidency.

Following this, he remained as defense secretary for the Bush administration… becoming the oldest individual to ever hold the position.
