Achtung - Häschen!

There are things about my mispent youth in the U.S. Army that sometimes lead me badly, badly astray.

My sense of humor is one of them.

For surely, no gently-reared human being should find "Peter Rabbit - Tank Killer" amusing.

For surely, combining the gentle anthromorphic bunny-and-kitten tropes of Beatrix Potter with the savage military nihilism of Sven Hassel would be the act of a brutally psychotic maniac.

And yet, there I was...

...laughing my maniac ass off at this stuff.

(and here you thought I was going to say "...pinned down by a deadly hail of Jap fire.")

But if I am a maniac I am also nothing if not a contrary maniac, and that's an entirely different war-story.

The Revenge of Pussy Galore

As usual, the dog gets all the press whilst the cat does all the work. A helmet-cam video still as a SEAL team cat uses his superior cat-stealth technology to take out one of bin-Laden's bodyguards prior to the May 2 raid.I'd say it's time to lift the "Don't Ask, Don't Meow" ban on war cats, wouldn't you?(h/t, amazingly, to Slate!)
