(They called American soldiers who fought in Europe during WWI "Doughboys," but this goes too far.)

its a cartoon, its supposed to look funny, furthermore, Rumsfeld said nothing wrong in his asessment of American Forces in Iraq. Toles is a moron:

In an interview, Toles called the letter "an understandable response" but said he did not regret what he drew. In thinking about Rumsfeld's remarks, he said, "what came soon to mind was the catastrophic level of injuries the Army and members of the armed services have sustained . . . I thought my portrayal of it was a fair depiction of the reality of the situation.

Catastrophic?? good Lord man, think about WWII, Vietnam, etc. Those were catastophic. What is wrong with Rumsfeld saying that our troops are well prepared and battlehardened, so as to not break against opposing forces. They are soldiers for God's sake...not a bunch of pussies.
