The dogs of war - English style

[lizbud]

It's very nice that they care for the dogs that have been injured,
but it would be better to have not put them in dangerous situations
in the first place. I know humans have a long history of using "war dogs"
but I think it is wrong to do it. Humans start wars, let them fight them and
leave animals out of it.

HAH !!!! The armchair politician strikes again.
Allow me to point out to you little Miss Lizbud......I am a veteran of war, you are not. I relied on dogs to save human lives, you did not.
To coin a phrase issued by your educated friends..."If you don't know what you are talking about, then shut your mouth"
You know.....perhaps if you read a book about it....you may know about it.
Waddya reckon ????

I have to disagree with that - I'm one of the biggest dog lovers around and I hurt thinking of dogs being usded in wars. BUT--I also know the services these dogs give to our soldiers, were it not for these dogs many men wouldn't be here today. I know humans start wars and dogs are innocent victims but if dogs could talk they would never choose to leave their men to go back home. Dogs can accomplish so many things that men can't, they're truly man's best friend out in the battlefield. Sad yes, but lots of other things are sad and it still happens.

Right on.

Before dogs, way back when, men rode into battle on steeds. Those horses didn't have much choice in the matter, either. The only "vetting" they got was to be shot and put out of their misery, and I suspect many suffered for some time before even that minor mercy happened.

Nice to read how the Brits handle the dog situation.
