 On a gut response, I find this offensive. Tho I suspect, the American
military - in some quarters, at least - implicitly slogans, "Future Corpses
of x, y and z countries" as part of their Manual of Operations. It's all
nonsensical, and leads to more and more indiscriminate killing of innocents
et al.
