And he didn't want THAT job either.
Step "down" or "up" - it's a term that sometimes is irrelevant when it comes to a job you like, or don't like. If the choice had been offered between the two, my gut reaction is that a general would much prefer SECDEF over *any* other position. I'd rather be head of the research department or IT than VP any day of the week.
