On this Memorial Day, I recall two revolting statements.

The first,uttered by none other than Donald Rumsfeld, went:”The soldiers are fungible.They do not bring any special skills to the theatre of war”.

Think about the cool callousness required to say those words.

Not to be left out or outdone by his mentor,Rumsfeld’s Sancho Panza chimed in recently upon the gruesome injuries suffered by a soldier:”Remember he chose this.He volunteered”.

Monsters in our midst.
