People are like pigs

close enough that they use pig valves in human heart surgery.

but pig bacon is still better than human bacon.

That's one way to deal with the prisoners in Guantanamo

Interesting idea stagey. The army could sell the blood to vindictive high schoolers.

Being a big fan of pigs, and also quite into the idea of people not dying on the battlefield if they don't have to, I really don't know what side of this argument I fall. It is totally necessary for soldiers to know how to deal with field wounds, and it's ridiculously against all manners of laws and human rights to shoot people for training purposes, and I guess people don't get shot enough for them to just wait until it happens and train there. I don't know. There's no ideal. But I do want to pick on:

The bloody exercise, she said, is difficult for soldiers because they sometimes associate the animals with their own pet dogs.

If they're that bleeding heart that they can't shoot a pig, then they shouldn't have joined the effin' army. If you get shipped out somewhere, bucky, you'll be shooting much more difficult creatures than pigs.
