No, you're absolutely right, we should call Nazis Nazis, Crackheads Crackheads, and Bankers Bankers. Oh, and people...people. We don't always, obviously, but we probably should. Unless you'd like to tell me why the religious aren't "it"s, and serial killers are.
(I'm as guilty as any, doesn't make me right. Perhaps that's why language and opinions like this have no place in discussions of what should or should not be engaged in as part of a system of justice. We're trying to reduce the nasty side of ourselves, not accommodate or satisfy it.)

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
