Ronaldus Secundus sent this in under the subject line, “Not sure what is wrong with this.” I’ll let you weigh in!
Dogs of War!
As in, let slip the… These dogs are far more than furry bomb detectors. They are force multipliers, fierce deterrents, loyal defenders. The MWD bite packs an average of 400 to 700 pounds of pressure. A dog’s nose, which can have hundreds of millions more olfactory receptors than a human’s, is so powerful it can [...]
Kandahar Shooting
Is this latest incident, coming after the Koran burnings, the nail in the coffin of OEF? If so, what ought to be done? These are hard questions. Tell me honestly what you think.
