20. Yes, in the strictly capitalist view of things
We are "human resources" who require too much investment.

Insurance companies see us as pariahs, because we don't bring profits, but expenses.

hmph.

And it all boils down to an ideology that can rename airmen, soldiers, sailors and marines "human capital" and name subsets of the so-called liberators "human exploitation teams."

And we have all become human resources.

And we are obviously highly expendable.
