Military canine 'in Afghan Taliban custody'

I doubt the dog will be given much more consideration than a jeep. Plenty of dogs have already been left left behind. Some have been taken back stateside, so have some jeeps.

Sucks for the dog but I'd be real surprised if a mission is being planned to save it.

Edit: I'm not sure sure it actually does suck for the dog.

Afghanistan was not a war of our choosing.

If you think there is anything in life that dog wants more than to follow his partner into the thick of the shit, doing his job as ferociously and tenaciously as possible as long as his partner asks him to, you know very little about Military K9 units.

All this dog wants out of life is to soldier with his handler. As much as dogs are capable of making choices, this dog has made his.

Yes, I guess I just don't understand your point. Is your protest that dogs do what we want them to because we raise them to do it? I mean, no dog unwilling does anything he doesn't want to. He goes gladly to do his job and if that job did not exist, the dog would not have been created by the men who bred him for that job in the first place, so what is the protest?
 
The source of their apparent desire is a reflection of the training, not of their own. It's much more of a stretch to say that dogs choose to be in Afghanistan than it is to say that they're sent without consent. And if you really want to continue with the nutty, then I'd say that you need to post video of a dog scheduling a flight. We would be on an even playing field of nutty at that point.
