    I’ll bite. How is that?

    Edit: I watched the death of a euphemism video and understand your point now. My original comment was less of a serious assertion and more voicing my general disdain for the idea of crossing out “War,” writing “Defense,” and continuing to invade countries for decades anyway.

      Euphemisms at least indicate shame.

        I mean, being ashamed of your evil deeds while still doing them doesn’t make it better.

          Kind of? It makes you more likely to moderate, stop earlier, do less atrocities if you think the public won’t like it or is ashamed of it.

            Or the opposite: you don’t want to fund defense?
