First, in the United States, the people in the cabinet are not called "ministers," as they are in England or other countries with a parliamentary system. They are called "secretaries." The current U.S. Secretary of Defense is Leon Panetta. He replaced the former secretary, Robert Gates, who retired in 2011.
