Top Secret Cat Special Ops Program Revealed


Dogs have been getting a lot of credit for their all around bad ass-ness in Operation Kill bin Laden but what about cats!? They're way smarter than dogs! And like super quick, crafty and lulz-bringing too! Couldn't the US Military find some use for that sort of feline intelligence?

The U.S. military has long used cats in special operations under the top-secret Covert Anti-Terrorism Stealth (CATS) program. Smarter and stealthier than dogs, cats are also more agile: They can climb trees and leap across buildings to gather intelligence. Studies show they can survive nine times as long as human soldiers.

I sent a link to "The Dogs of War" to my 9 year old daughter. I will send this one now and see if she gets the satire!

11. Is anyone else creeped out that the soldier seems to be pointing his rifle directly at a lone woman?
Maybe she's concealing a bomb or something, but it just makes me a little queasy.
