1. Won’t the use of dogs in places like Afghanistan offend the local Muslim terrorists, ..er….population?
   Maybe these animals can snuff out some of the IED’s before they kill our troops.

2. Just remember this dmorris. To a German Shepherd, all humans look like a giant salami.

   Yeah…..sweet….that goes under influencing people….
   a highly successful alternative when folks refuse to be friends.
   Actually it’s not so much that the crazies dislike dogs but they fear other people’s dogs.
   It also seems the koran also denounces night vision stuff…..

4. Convenient.
   Syncro

5. There are dogs all over the middle east. I have never fully understood the dog thing. Lots of people have then as pets or working animals.
   Those are some nice animals.

6. It’s some strange thing about dog saliva. God only knows what a Muzzie thinks!!

7. When I visited an American camp in Zabul Province there was a stray dog that lived on the camp. Any Westerner (Canadian, Brit and US) soldier or civilian could come up to the dog, pet it, rub its ears, etc. However, when any Afghan came within 10 feet, it would bark like crazy(it was a mutt but the size of a German Shepherd). I remember walking up to the dog (I had never met it before) and petting him and playing with him. I had been in Afghanistan for three months and missed my family (which includes my dog). I’ve been told I could pass as Afghan–by Afghans and the dog didn’t even bat an eye (I was also wearing a different uniform than what he was used to). 5 minutes after I left him, the dog started barking like crazy, I turned around and he was standing with fangs bared, fur on end and barking like crazy AT AN AFGHAN POLICE OFFICER.
   You’ve got to truly question a religion that bans a relationship with man’s best friend

8. Too bad that we couldn’t train pigs the same way!! How sweet would that be in Afghanastan!

9. It is my opinion that dogs see mind pictures and if a human thinks in pictures the dog can see the human’s thoughts.

10. The last thing I want to see, if I’m trying to escape custody, is a dog. I’d feel better with a scared cop firing a Glock at me, than releasing an attack dog.
    No wonder muslims don’t like dogs. They have a natural ability to profile.

11. Seem to me like simply training dogs to bite big puffy padded arms.

12. Are they just training dogs to bite puffy padded arms?
