It really isn’t bravery unless the rat comprehends the danger...which they don’t in the case of landmines... they would be aware of the peril if they went out in the open knowing a hawk was around.

We should used rats to find land mines too.
I nominate Chuck Schumer...

“...landmines and unexploded ordinance...”

Journalists. Somebody should pass an ordnance requiring them to learn English.

I certainly hope they spay/neuter any Giant Rats they send out into the field. Wouldn’t want them to escape and start multiplying, driving out native species.

Only the four legged ones.

I doubt any rat has the capacity for bravery or devotion.
