Ch 9: Random Post 2
In Chapter 9, Rumfoord tells the nurses that Billy has echolalia. Echolalia is an actual disorder that is exactly as it is described in Slaughterhouse-Five. When someone has echolalia, they repeat what they hear. Rumfoord accuses Billy of having echolalia when he awakens in the hospital and tells Rumfoord that he was in Dresden during the bombing.

I like how you pointed out this word. The question to ask would be: Why did he mention that Billy had echolalia? Rumfoord did not want to accept the fact that Billy was in the Dresden during the bombing.
