These are not necessarily distinct sets.
What's missing but implied is the class nature of military service. I suppose pointing out that those who support wars in the higher realms of the State are unlikely to have served in them might help bring that out of the shadows. And poking fun at the exposed, pimply hindquarters of the overlords at once entertains the folk and encourages disobedience.
