Is the US Army going to the dogs ?

Like most, I had heard about Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, but the man never had the notoriety of Osama bin Laden, so when Trump announced his capture, I paid attention and listened to the whole, wild press conference.

What struck me most is when he said: “You know, these people are very smart.  They’re not into the use of cellphones anymore.  They’re not — they’re very technically brilliant.  You know, they use the Internet better than almost anybody in the world, perhaps other than Donald Trump.  But they use the Internet incredibly well.” This part was priceless. It just great to know that Trump is the man who can resolve any online issues.

Of course, there was the dog part, in which Trump said: “look, nobody was even hurt.  Our K-9, as they call — I call it a dog, a beautiful dog, a talented dog — was injured and brought back.  But we had no soldier injured.”

This makes me think that the best asset we might have in our military might be our canine units. Just think about it, we could start making some serious budget savings if we suddenly replaced the unaffordable F-35 with a herd of dogs and, just like for the Mexican wall, we’d ask the people from Park City to ship their dog surplus free of charge to the Army!
