“From my mother’s sleep I fell into the State, And I hunched in its belly till my wet fur froze. Six miles from earth, loosed from its dream of life, I woke to black flak and the nightmare fighters. When I died they washed me out of the turret with a hose.” Randall Jarrell, 1945

Man, they sure have evolved drone technology into some deadly weapons. I wondered how Ukraine was sinking Russian ships. It's not that but similar and smaller.

March 13th is National K9 Veterans Day!

On March 13, 1942, that the U.S. Army began training for its new War Dog Program, also known as the "K-9 Corps," marking the first time that dogs were officially a part of the U.S. Armed Forces.

The rest, as they say, is history. Officially a part of the service or not, the dogs of war span centuries and include such heroes as Sgt. Stubby, the original war dog; Chips, the most decorated dog in World War II; Lex, who retired with his fallen owners family; and Cairo, the Navy SEAL working dog on the bin Laden raid.

On May 2, 2011, U.S. Special Operations Forces conducted Operation Neptune Spear. Members of SEAL Team Six and the U.S. Army's 160th SOAR, took part in a daring, nighttime raid into the city of Abbottabad, Pakistan.

Their mission was to end a 10-year long manhunt and eliminate the world's most wanted terrorist... Osama Bin Laden.

Mission Accomplished.
