Give Tacoma a break. Probably found a cute bottle-nose dolphin, went off, and returned to active duty serving America, land of the free, home of the brave.

I don't recall PETA speaking out against the Geese in Kuwait during Gulf War 1 though. Double standard?

I think PETA should immediately get over there as Dolphin Shields!

Applause and Salutes for Tacoma.

I too, was a little late for formation on one or two occasions (wink-wink, nudge-nudge).

Brickbats to the PETA idiots.

"A Navy dolphin tasked with hunting for mines in the Iraqi port of Umm Qasr went absent without leave for more than 48 hours last week. The dolphin, named Tacoma, eventually returned to duty on Friday, safe and sound." Wonder if Flipper alias Tacoma went on an 2-day excursion with Flippee and together they made Whoopee?

The first and only time I ever wrote to PETA was to ask them what they were going to do about that footage of Saddam's nerve agent being injected into those Beagle puppies. I was ready to leave my house for Baghdad, and put him out of his misery, MYSELF the night I saw that footage!

As usual...nothing about their even making a statement that Saddam is cruel to animals....they only want to blame America.

WHAT A SHAM ORGANIZATION... that happens to do a few good things once in a great while.

grrrrh!

They're LEFTISTS first and animal lovers second. Never forget that.

Mmmmmmmmm, roast-beast!

If anyone cares to check our biology, we have dual-purpose teeth. Yes, we can chew broccoli if there is nothing better to eat. We can also eat those tasty animals.

Biology is culinary destiny.

Tasty animals beware! The humans are here!

But that hasn’t stopped People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals from complaining this week to Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld that the military use of animals amounts to animal cruelty.

Well, having to listen to these idiots amounts to human cruelty! Rumsfeld should sue!
