Jingle all the Way
1 April 2009
Soldiers call these colorful beasts “jingo trucks” because of all the chains and bells that make them sound like road chimes. Jingle trucks ply the roads of places like Nepal, India, Pakistan and Afghanistan, often dangerously overloaded with just about anything imaginable. Like explosives and blasting caps, for instance.
This fella was steaming into Afghanistan last night.
Complete with hidden compartments.
Hidden compartments don’t mean much to man’s best friend. This working puppy found enough Emulite to kill hundreds of people. Needless to say, the soldiers and contractors treat these dogs like royalty. There is no exaggeration whatsoever in saying that the working dogs are treated far better than our soldiers. (Not that anyone complains, but it is humorous for everyone to see that the dogs get treated even better than Air Force personnel, who are treated 2x better than soldiers, who are treated 5x better than Marines. That means bomb dogs are treated at least 10x better than Marines.)
And this is why they get treated better. This dog might have saved hundreds of lives. Our canine hero found an impressive stash of the industrial grade explosive called Emulite.

I'm guessing how the Wah Nobel has sold all these explosives to terrorists... thousands of bucks made the difference, wasn't it?
They and the security folks always have rough job.
So... a Jeff Dunham fan are we?
God speed to all K-9 teams wherever they serve and whenever they served.
They have proven so successful that the price on their dog heads and or their handlers were very high in Nam.
They have thwarted ambushes many times over.
Better than radar or Sat intel at times....
Hopefully, it is at least costing them cash to get their hands on this.
On that note I sent the following to the company CEO:

Dear Sir,
I would like to know how and why your product is ending up in the hands of murdering scum!
The attached photos from an embedded journalist in Afghanistan tells the tale.
You should be ashamed that your product is being used to kill and maim!
You need to make sure your product is going to and ends up in, the hands of legitimate users instead of fanatical murdering terrorists as shown in the photos.
This is NOT what the Prophet Mohammed teaches in dealing with your fellow man and you damn well know it, sir!
I hope you can sleep well at night knowing your product is going to murder the innocent and those trying to bring peace and stability to your part of the world!
Peace be unto your and yours, hopefully!
Maybe just, maybe they will wake up at WAH NOBLE and be more responsible in keeping track of who ends up with their product!
These dogs are so special and they truly deserve to have their stories told and retold. Thanks Michael for letting me know about this. I plan to make all those on my email list aware of these great heroes.
The author was a Marine officer who was tasked with creating and training a K-9 company. He did so and took his company into combat on Guam. Then, after the end of the war, he had to fight another battle: against the military bureaucrats who decreed the dogs should be destroyed rather than retrained so they could return to cilivian life. A great story.
Thank God for man's best friend.
