The Pentagon is pleased to announce a streamlined system for processing U.S. soldiers killed in Iraq. (Man: Operation meat grinder has successfully turned another young man into a lump of bones and charred flesh.) Assuming a 1-year tour of duty and 1 dead soldier a day with an occupation force of 148,000, every 400th soldier will die like a dog. But thanks to a secret deal with Saddam, we will choose those victims by lottery and execute them ourselves! (Television: ...today's human tithe is tech, SGT, Mike Strong.) (Man 1: Help me...) (Man 2: I don't know you, Man.) It's a win-win: Saddam gets his due and our war dead die with dignity! (Man: You're throwing me into a volcano?!) (Military: We built it for the Iran War!)
