Realizing that trying to protect our way of life with humans gets people killed, the Navy has decided to do the job with sea lions and dolphins.
"Dozens of dolphins and sea lions trained to detect and apprehend waterborne attackers could be sent to patrol a Puget Sound military base, the Navy said Monday."
The dolphins would use their sonar to detect an enemy intruder, and then the sea lion would attach a special cuff to the enemy's leg, at which point the fat old humans would waddle into the water for the hot, hot underwater apprehension.
It should be pointed out that they tried this with a giraffe and an iguana during World War II, and it didn't go so well.
The dolphin/sea lion plan was proposed in the early nineties, but animal-rights-nazis stepped in and said that the cold Puget Sound water could kill the animals. That was before 9/11. We are now at war with an enemy who, although desert-based, probably has the technology to swim. We can't take any chances.
Maybe the best part about these critters is that they will do the job without worrying about illegal wars or their interpretation of the Constitution.

I think that Watada would be more than happy to deploy to Hood Canal.
I don't know. Those things are smart. What's the over on the first dolphin to refuse to deploy to an illegal theater of war?
We couldn't give this job to Aquaman?
It seems the dolphins do what the "writer" of the item won't either. Listen up, coward: if you want someone to fight in the illegal war in Iraq, stop hiding behind your computer - sign up and go fight it yourself.
Unlike you, Ehren Watada IS willing to go to Afghanistan, which _was_ the source of the 9/11 attacks. The US army said, "No, you're going to Iraq".
Watada refuses to take part in an illegal war of aggression intended to steal oil. "I was only following orders" was no excuse for war crimes in 1945, and it's wrong now. Vilifying him for doing the same as those who resisted the Nazis is loathesome and leaves clowns like yourself looking like Nazis.
Either you are incompetent in not doing thorough research, or you are cowardly and complicit in leaving out key details to support a lie. Which is it?
...or someone can't take a joke.
