Ahhhh. This is beyond the pale. I am simply at a loss for words. This very nearly brought me to tears with rage.
This is the First Amendment. People are free to say what they like as long as it does not endanger others. But this is indicative of a total lack of decency.
Out of curiosity, I looked at the archive of his cartoons. I looked at the last 10 cartoons, and his predilection is predictable. This person (and I use the phrase so loosely to describe someone who would pen such an unthinking, hurtful, inconsiderate, malicious "cartoon") who wrote this detests the military. He hates them and everything they stand for, in contradiction to everything he stands for.
The military, in general, tries to inculcate loyalty, dedication, maturity, work ethic, respect, honor, pride, consideration and thoughtfulness. (Having been in the military, and grown up as the son of a 30 year Naval veteran who now rests in Arlington, I know that this is what the military tries to do. I doesn't always produce the desired result or level of result, but the effort is there)
The thing that drew this cartoon, protected by THE LIBERTIES THAT OUR MILITARY FIGHTS, BLEEDS AND DIES FOR, has taken this opportunity to use a horribly wounded military person as a PROP to make a petty partisan point.
A man, in a bed, with NO ARMS AND LEGS, who, at that stage, cannot feed himself, relieve himself, bathe himself, dress himself, walk, read a book on his own, change a television channel, pick up a phone, use a computer, hug his loved ones or any other number of things the rest of us, including this despicable excuse for a human being who authored this cartoon, take for granted. He has taken the liberty to PISS on the sacrifice many of our military personnel have suffered, using them as a tool in order to take a passing swipe at political policy he disagrees with.
I am so bloody, flaming mad I can barely put my words up on the screen. I am contacting the Washington Post, their parent organization (if any) and their boards of directors. This is a damnable outrage.
This appears to me that the cartoonist is using an exaggerated fictional character to make a point about Rumsfeld trivializing serious injuries. If he used a real person I would be as livid as anyone at such usuary. Let's save our anger for better uses.
