Have you read the news? Environmentally friendly war heads!

Okay, this is becoming too much. Yesterday as I read the funnies in the Sunday paper (these are my personal favorites of the paper as I find they may be the only thing that makes any sense to me any more) My dad starts to read from the portion of the paper that he held in his hands.
The first thing he reads to me makes me think he some how snuck a page of the funnies from me.
"'BAE systems, one of the the world's biggest arms manufacturers, is designing a new generation of 'green' munitions, including 'lead-free' bullets and rockets with reduced toxins'"
My reaction? "Ha Ha! What?"
Dad, "'It also wants to cut the dangerous compounds in its jets, which it warns "can harm the environment and pose a risk to people"'"
Me, "no way, as if. Of course they are a risk to people they are made to kill them."
The paper goes on to talk about how they even plan to create '"quieter warheads to reduce noise pollution and grenades that produce less smoke". Going as far to see if explosives can be "turned into manure. "
At one place Debbie Allen the director of corporate social responsibility at BAE systems is quoted to say "Weapons are going to be used and when they are, we try to make them as safe for the user as possible, to limit the collateral damage and to impact as little as possible on the environment."
I ask you, what about the people they are being used on? Is it safer for them because now when they are dying they can at least know their remains won't be full of lead poison? "Oh good now I am dead but it wasn't as loud so my ears would still work if I was alive" Yeah for the plants and trees all around there is less air pollution but..... Can I ask........Where have all the people gone?
