You think the WAY it is talked about doesn't matter?

"Pawns" in war is not the same as saying slaves.

Combine that with the whole "hero " myth and you have a pretty nice system of control there.

Now, point me to an article that talks about the mass-enslavement of men and I will be surprised. Maybe you might find something, I don't know. But I sure as hell never saw it if it exists.

The absence of something can be as telling as its presence.

And as for calling attention to one injustice to highlight a closely related injustice? Is that strange or wrong? I don't think so.
