If that accurately describes what they're being used for, yes. Let's call it what it is.

I am sure the folks who died defending this country, and saving Europe from the likes of Hitler appreciate being remembered as cannon fodder.
Of course they don't appreciate it but let's not try to hide behind nice-sounding euphemisms.

A panda walks into a cafe. He orders a sandwich, eats it, then draws a gun and fires two shots in the air.

"Why?" asks the confused waiter, as the panda makes toward the exit. The panda produces a badly punctuated wildlife manual and tosses it over his shoulder.

"I'm a panda," he says at the door. "Look it up."

The waiter turns to the relevant entry and, sure enough, finds an explanation.

"Panda. Large black-and-white bear-like mammal, native to China. Eats, shoots and leaves."
