A friend in IRC chat the other night said something that comes to mind here: “Isn’t it great that when these conservative tightwads are done murdering people, they chill out to anti-war music by liberal hippies on drugs?”

That’s it.

I surrender.

Is there a specialty level of the class for torturers to work on the old evil villian maniacal laugh?

No, wait - laughing in these circumstances is not all that new, and there are some pretty funny books out there that fit right in. Some authors to look up: Joseph Conrad, Kurt Vonnegut. Those guys know how to make you laugh in the face of war. But I suspect those aren’t what Lt. Col. Ellen Krenke had in mind.

The Army is playing with something beyond fire here, and no shit it prevents hardening of the attitudes. But without those hardened attitudes nobody will fire a gun in the direction the Army has in mind.

I am not aware of any really funny pro-war books.

(1) This is sick as fuck.

(2) I was going to write some other stuff here about how this could be phagocytosis at work, but I couldn’t even do it.
