Actually, it's not a bad idea in and of itself. I mean, you never know when a carrier pigeon would come in handy. It's so "low-tech", that no one would think to suspect the birds of carrying messages.

Heck, that may be how Osama keeps in touch with his guys for all we know.

I'm generally in favor of low-tech and obsolete skills being taught in our military. I mean, who would have thought muleskinning would be useful anymore? But muleskinning and horseback riding were very useful in Afghanistan. Personally, I think it wouldn't hurt for the infantry to brush up on archery. I'm not kidding. You just never know when it will come in handy. Never be overly dependent on modern technology in the military, I say.
