Sea mammals defending our shores

The Navy SEALS are old news kids: now, we've got Navy Dolphins and Navy Sea Lions.

No. Not these.

Apparently, the Navy has trained these animals to search for bombs and terrorists very quickly, something that would take human beings much longer to do since, you know, we swim slow. And can't really see underwater. Or hold our breath for very long. Man, we suck.

"Man, you suck." (Translated from dolphin)

One of the more surprising things about this, to me, is that we've apparently been using sea mammals for years, as far back as the Vietnam War.

What they do is this: dolphins, using echolocation, can find things like terrorists or bombs, things that shouldn't be there, very quickly. Sea lions, which can see (apparently) five times better than us while under water and are crazy dexterous (and ADORABLE) will attach a clamp or something to the legs of any people the dolphins find so we can reel them in, or attach a marker to a bomb so we can find and disarm them.


HOW AWESOME IS THAT?

"Holy crap, we're awesome!" "I know, right?!"

Hopefully, once they do a good job, they let them relax.

Possibly with an ice-cold Coca-Cola.

Perhaps even retire with a military pension?

"The people here are so friendly!" "But I wish the kids would call more..."
