Laura: 
 Not necessarily-it's a common practice in warfare to objectify and 
dehumanize your enemy so as to build up enough hatred to risk your 
own life trying to take theirs.  It also allows soldiers to overcome 
years of being taught that killing is wrong.  Racial/ethnic slurring 
is part of all wartime propaganda.  Note the current US stance 
of "all Muslims are terrorists until proven otherwise".
