Ha! I wish I had thought of
Ha! I wish I had thought of that. "Pants" would have made the jump so much more worth it.
Seriously, though, I appreciate your response, and I like your point about the guards. It is certainly dehumanizing, though from a different direction that I was initially thinking of. But to a certain extent, how possible is it to even humanize the guards? Not that they weren't in fact human, of course; I mean as a matter of representation? I don't have time to look it up right now, but didn't someone post to viz about those recently-discovered photos of off-duty Auschwitz guards? They were problematic for people along just these lines.
