Seriously, though, I agree it's tasteless. But, is it any more so than, say, a Memorial Day sale? Those happen all the time, a sale on a holiday about remembering the fallen. Or a Veterans' Day sale. Pretty much any time someone uses some specific day based around military activity for a day of a sale, they are using death to profit, and we eat it up in this country.
