Euphemism!!!!

When I was reading, I found two instances where euphemisms were used. On page 209, it says "Too many body bags." On page 224, it says "she kicked the bucket". Both of these mean that people died. I found it weird how O'Brien could explain to the finest detail about a dead person, but at page 209 could not say a lot of people died. I think that death is such a touchy subject, and honestly, I think it should. Death is not an easy thing to deal with. When I saw euphemisms in a book about war and death, I thought about how much we hate to talk about it. I am not sure I just found these euphemisms somewhat ironic in the story since we heard all about Kiowa, Lavendar, and the young soldier's death. Euphemisms are used so much and sometimes they can be funny, but they really do lighten the situation or make it not so hard to say what happened. This is just something I thought of when I cam across these.
