Military to Diversify Working Dogs, Include Chihuahuas

So far, there have been no Chihuahuas capable of taking down a 250-pound man by the arm, so the military has elected to eliminate that test altogether.

Seems fair. Chihuahuas are a proud breed and their feelings might be hurt.

Do not underestimate the vulnerability of a 250-pound man's ankle.

Surely all one needs is proper training, and inspirational examples. If a vorpal bunny can do it, why can't a chihuahua?

The chihuahua can do it. Just needs more cowbell.

If diversity enthusiasts were sane, they'd do things like call our attention to the fact that a chihuahua might be a spectacular bomb-sniffing agent. We could then ponder our unconscious confusion of size and strength with other useful skills.

But disparate-impact thinking and laziness and envy infect nearly every area of public policy, to the point where the rules are futile attempts at legislating magical merit and reward.

Chihuahuas as tunnel rats.

Seems fitting....
