Maybe it is.

No, it certainly is.

But I don’t think it unreasonable to expect those making the decision to send soldiers to fight and die to consider thoroughly the consequences of their actions.

And I thought this thread was going to be about Euonymus alata, the burning bush. It’s an invasive species, you know.
