    Maybe it also indicates that in the absence of own forces casualties war can be fun at times...

    ... like when the 'A-Team' (on TV) used to talk about how great it is when a plan comes together.

    Oh yes talking about using animals...

    ... our enemy used baboons as early warning of airstrikes. They kept baboons chained to a tree in their camps and if they had survived a camp attack they were valuable as they could pick up the approach of the jets long before the human ear and would start to get really agitated. This would allow the leadership to jump into a vehicle and escape to be able to run another day. I kid you not.
