All:

The humor is not quite as macabre as all that.  For the last few
generations militaries have been less inclined to kill their enemies on
the battlefield.  It is a greater burden on the enemy if his combatants
are merely disabled - it puts a greater strain on their resources.
Burying a dead body consumes fewer precious resources of time and
material than does caring for and rehabilitating  a wounded one. That is
why ammunition keeps getting smaller and smaller.
