Former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld said during an interview on Fox News Tuesday that the rise of the Islamic State terrorist group reminds him of the lead-up to the second World War.
The current situation “brings back to mind the period before World War II, where people said ‘I didn’t know’ or ‘I was just following orders’ or ‘It’s random,'” Rumsfeld said during an appearance on “On The Record With Greta Van Susteren.”
“When you kill – systematically kill – Jews and kill Christians and say that’s what you’re doing, it’s not random,” Rumsfeld added. “It’s purposeful.”
