Yes, I've seen that with the word genocide among others.

You give Kevin too much credit. I don't think the meaning has changed at all. I think Kevin was trying to be profound, pointed, and witty, and he used a word for which he didn't know the meaning.

Yes, Kevin apparently didn't know the meaning of the word eugenics. The word eugenics as it is used in his comment results in a sentence that doesn't make sense.

Oh wait. I read Kevin again, he isn't implying that eugenics is being committed, he's arguing that if you join the military you should be sterilized, hence a "poster child for eugenics."

Oops.

Yes; you make sense with that interpretation.

I'm so relieved that the Israelis aren't engaging in eugenics.
