DOGS: IS THERE ANYTHING THEY CAN’T DO???
By Fayner | July 21, 2008
I was just reading how in World War Two, dogs were used by U.S. Scientists for England to test the body’s reaction to altitude and decompression sickness when jumping from a plane or flying at 25,000 feet, and pretty much were the reason the airmen and paratroopers were so successful.
There is even a great story of a 145 pound St. Bernard named Major being tossed from 26,000 feet in order to test the parachute straps at high altitude, who apparently did the doggy paddle all the way down to the safety of the ground.
And there are the Newfoundlands and Retrievers who jump from rescue helicopters into the water to save drowning swimmers, too.
Some amazing stuff has come from man’s close relationship to the dog, but nothing like what I just read…
Dogs are trained to jump from 25,000 feet wearing oxygen masks while attached to their soldiers. Once on the ground (in enemy territory), the dogs will head off with cameras attached to their heads to seek out hideouts and bad guys. The video goes straight to the soldiers, who then plan whatever attack is neccesary.
Dangerous fucking work. Heroic fucking dogs.
Pretty much, this is what England’s elite SAS assault teams are training as we speak to accomplish. America’s Delta Force already does it.
It will save countless lives in future wars if the planet makes it that far.
This story is amazing, so read it HERE.
I’m sure the Republicans will have a problem with it though. They love killing people more than dogs…

but, why the generals and the military scientists don’t go they in front of soldiers with a camera in their ass?
