Newton's Second Law doesn't care about your intentions. If you accelerate a mass—ANY mass—with sufficient force, you've got yourself a lethal projectile. This meme brilliantly demonstrates the dark humor of physics: that kinetic energy (½mv²) makes no moral distinctions. The military gentleman appears to be loading a baby into what looks like a mortar tube, perfectly illustrating that momentum transfer works regardless of what object you're launching. Just remember, folks—the physics equation doesn't include a variable for "ethical considerations."
