Nope it's the telegraph actually only comment from the sun was:
According to the Telegraph

I think the article is rather vague,, I honestly dont think the dogs will be working that far ahead of there handlers tbh,

People have a choice to join the forces ofcause they do...but if everyone of our armed forces sat down and pondered over the wheres and why`s they are going to be dispatched to, where would we be, we need our arm forces , and they deserve respect, not a flyaway comment on ...having a choice or not.

If one dog saves one young mans life at the loss of its own.... then I am sorry, I am behind it 100%.

The story above if true, is not as simple as throwing dogs the loins.. to be used for target practice... they will be there working with their handlers... doing a vital job, and hopefully keeping dogs and humans safe.

Dogs have been used in times of war going back to WW1 , probably even before... they do their job, they save lives.

Dogs are trained to be lowered from helicopters & to be parachuted into a location with their handlers not on their own.

Yes dogs have lost their lives protecting their handlers abroad & in the UK-a lovely GSD Met bitch protected her handler from a bomb in London & died from her wounds, but she saved her handlers life & I know that she was adored by him just as she adored him.

Dogs have always been used in warfare going back to the invasion of England by the Romans & further back still. The difference now is that the dogs are highly trained & highly valued rather than being cannon fodder. Boudica & the Iceni had "dogs of war"

Doesn't make it right. Like I said humans have the choice, dogs don't. Who the hell do we think we are to force another species to take a bullet for us. Many may disagree which I accept. However what I don't accept is people agreeing with putting dogs in a position knowing dam well those dogs will automatically lose their lives not just risking their lives.

I dont think the sas will want these dogs to be seen {if poss} it would only serve to warn the taliban that an attack is imminent, as they say fore warned is fore armed, not really in the sas's best interest,,

Ok, so would you class a sniffer dog on the London underground in the same capacity... would you be happy to see a train/bus/blown up, people being maimed and killed, rather than seeing a dog use its nose to do the excellent job it does... and the slight risk of it loosing its life in the process.

I do hope you're right Shona

How many sniffer dogs do you know that have had their noses blown off?

Yeah, I was just about to say that??? Why do they join the army, for free bed and breakfast then??? I think not! They join the army because they want to be where the action is, they just love it! I've seen the interviews done on those big tough guys, they always say, bring it on!!! You don't go and sign up with the army coz you "want to see the World", not nowadays, those days have long gone. YES, my brother was in the Para's for 30 years, he fought, he did the lot, and I admire him for it, just like I do all our boys who are out there now.

I still say, leave the dogs out of it! They didn't sign themselves up, WE put them at risk. Leave them to do GOOD jobs over here, over anywhere, put them to good work, not where they don't stand a chance.

You may have your boys over there Shona, I know friends who also have their own boys over there, nobody's saying they don't do a brilliant job, even I said they do a fantastic job, nobody's slating them, we're only giving our opinions as to whether they should send in the dogs, and mine is no!
