Yet again another Democratic party military down sizing proposal hits the hill. Death to the military industrial complex!!!! The "new" battle cry of the true grass roots military down sizer taking aim at reducing military costs.

Don't take this too lightly, studies done by the Germans in '45 showed that pound for pound, "Hamstertruppen" were 3 times more effective than waffen-SS

Yeah and the scariest part of it all is.. North Dakota has an unlimited supply of those furry creatures from hell.

I actually think I caught site of a fully trained ground assault prairie dog when I was up in ND last... I can't quite be sure though, he ducked into his foxhole too quick.

BTW, not only are they great for quick deployment and an excellent mobile infantry with an uncanny ability at digging a networked series of foxholes, but those lil' guys are the best at psychological warfare.

Instead of being mocked or hearing cries from the enemy, all you hear are a billion prairie dogs chanting "meep meep meep" in unison as they over run your country armed with nut launchers and other tiny weapons capable of the most humiliating forms of injury.
