    Yes, what do you think solved the whole "we're running out of space for graveyards" issue?​​

    I approve of this method of enemy combatant disposal.

    It's called a crematorium.

    We should like launch our dead people into space and let them be someone else's problem.
    Heck, they might even crashland into another planet and the bacteria they carry can start new life in it \o/​​

    The those burial pods for tree is sounding mighty appealing right about now. Or cremation, whichever,

    I'm gonna have my body encased in a block of amber, and then have a giant prop syringe shoved into the side stabbing into me. It'll be an homage to Jurassic Park.​​

    Of course, one could try reading the source material. Unless we're going to war against an enemy composed of cellulose, the bioreactor in an EATR would be incapable of rendering enemy corpses into fuel. (The writer of this article would like to compare it to claims made by vegetarians, which requires one to ignore the fact that a vegetarian is an omnivore making a choice. This would be more akin to fearing that cows are going to eat humans because they can digest organic matter.)

    So certain are you? This isn't the only place I've seen people reacting in terror at the prospect of the Army unleashing an armada of killer robots destined to eat us all. (Same way they react to remote-controlled weapon systems by invoking the image of Skynet, because the SF term "waldo" for a teleoperated device never quite caught on so the news stories keep calling them "robots".)
