I guess i wasn't clear - that story (which is not my original work, though the format and words of that version are) is an allegory of those who support or profit from war because they think they'll profit off others' blood and suffering while they're safe at home. - what are known as "chickenhawks" in today's political parlance, or the high brass, or the Military-Industrial Complex in general. The people Country Joe was referring to when he sang "Come on generals, let's move fast - your big chance is come at last..."

They prosper and live the good life off of others' pain and loss ... but someday, they will realise that things can change in a long-enough time ... and that there are, indeed, no pockets in a shroud
