In many fictional futures the concept of closed or nearly closed systems demand that human beings get comfortable with the idea that their dearly departed's mortal remains are going to be used in the hydroponics section to help feed everyone later on. Circle of Life and all that.

Taking that a step further such that militaries from these cultures may not be at all averse to taking a short cut across that circle and padding out their organic logistic capabilities by the use of more direct means to convert battle casualties to field rations. Cannibal nano or other swarms may be useful for this by rendering the biomass of friends and foes alike to a range of field rations and even packaging them by converting inorganic materials for that purpose.

Discuss.
