Does language figure into warfare? Do common ambiguities in English result directly in death, or loss? We have "military time", and various military linguistic traditions "SIR, yes, SIR".

The SW hypothesis asks if language influences thought. Does it influence who lives and who dies?

This is both of historic importance and also of coming relevance, especially when combined with transhumanistic technologies.
