Yeah, apparently they use Elmo for torture. (Not a joke.) We asked CTW what they thought of that, to no avail -- they ignored us.

Dash, I now can't find the thread with images from the Iraq "chariot races," to burn off steam. Astonishing proof that military life actually can outweird M*A*S*H reruns.

Because horses can be forced to swallow explosives, or otherwise trained to behave as equine dissidents, carrying "We HATE US AND ALL DECENT PEOPLE" flags in their mouths. That, or the current military field leadership is dominated by crazed Zane Grey and Louis L'Amour fans.
