My last trip outside an HQ building was in Afghanistan, for which I received a severe telling off, it was a strange sight to see young soldiers with tourniquets ready, just in case, so they are a very serious and real threat.

I know the French Army is experimenting a unit with dogs.
These animals are wonderfull and their masters have a special relationship with them.
They are unknown heroes.
