Unsung Heroes Of Our Armed Forces


By Semperpapa

This is a double bonanza for me: combining my love for the Military and for man's best friend.
Business Insider has a great story regarding Military dogs with some great pictures:

There are some issues with bringing these dogs back to America after their service is completed. It looks like many of them are left where they served and face an uncertain future.

These animals are the unsung heroes of the War on Terror. They serve in very dangerous environments in Afghanistan and in Iraq. They also serve valiantly and selflessly with law enforcement agencies across our Nation.
The most impressive part is that they place their trust so totally in their handlers' hands and perform the most dangerous tasks without any complaint or hesitation, only happy to help and gratify their masters. They are exceptional assets for our forces who just want some food and water in return and the always welcome tennis ball.

Just my thoughts!
