Re: Soldier gets billed for Humvee parts damaged in bombing that tore off his hand.
I think Rumsfeld and Bush are too separated from the actual men on the ground to have any clue. This is the true horror of modern war; thanks to telecommunications, the people deciding who dies are nowhere near the combat.
So far as I can tell, to Bush, this is essentially a way to show off how devout he is in all those things he goes out of his way to tell us all he prays about. Rumsfeld? I don't really know that he sees this as anything but a video game, or some kind of revenge, at this point.
Bleh.
