Considering the country has been illegally invaded in a resource war that includes drugs, is this a bad thing?  Actually, it is good for the dead troops.  They are no longer slaves to the living.  And if they're it the right state of mind, they are where I am waiting rather impatiently to get.  But if they're not, they will have problems.  Voice of experience.
