I don't get the redhat kill cycle thing.
You have an arms industry, and they're being uncharacteristically honest about what they do.
There's no chaff about euphemising what they do (eg calling dead civilians "collateral damage", soldiers "operators", or war "kinetic activity").
The defence (arms) industry makes things that kill people and break their stuff so your politicians can have shorter wars with fewer casualties.
This is how the sausage is made. If you don't like it, reassess why:

If you're upset that wars exist, start electing politicians that don't start wars of aggression. If you're upset that you were exposed to shocking words, think about why you have been insulated from gory truth for so long. If you think the arms industry simply shouldn't exist, consider Ukraine. Is it right or ethical that they should be allowed to compress the kill cycle when protecting their cities from invasion?
