#2 Hope the dogs don't get rabies or distemper, either.

#3 Missing a bet here. Pigs are smarter than dogs, can be trained and are known for biting... just sayin'.....

#4 The dogs will have to lick their butt for days to get that taste out of their mouths.

#6 Aren't you supposed to release them for the dogs to fetch again?

#7 "Both militants received dog-bite injuries, one of which required treatment on scene by coalition medical personnel."
Only one required treatment? Bummer.

"dogs are shunned as unclean and dangerous"
I have no doubt that my dog is cleaner than at least 99.9% of all Taliban militants.

#9 Because tooth injuries are common in working dogs, they have now innovated titanium caps. It is really good to NOT get bitten by a dog with titanium caps.

#10 How about a canine surge in Afghanistan? Might become a deterrent to Taliban and AQ recruitment eforts.

#12 I raised pigs as a 4H project when I was in high school. I had a brood-sow that weighed in at about 450 pounds. She would do any trick a dog would, plus a few. I could get her to "attack" a scarecrow. I taught her to go to one area, specifically. NOBODY messed with me on my family's property. Usually, just the sight of seven feet of porker charging with a 10-inch mouth open was enough in itself. The military is really missing a bet, especially with the muslim avoidance of all things pork.

#13 On the other hand, dogs are easier to feed, care for and clean up after than pigs.
I do hope that we treat the war dogs better than we did in VietNam - when we left, most of them were put down.

#14 Kool Story OP, it would scare the bejesus out of me if 450 pounds of brood-sow came after this sinner!

#16 German Sheppards, my bet.

"two militants attempted to flee and were pursued by coalition military working dogs,"

Bet it was more fun watching than even the Olympics...
