๐บ๐ธ๐ There are 2,500 Military Working Dogs.
They do everything Soldiers do.
Theyโre equipped with bullet & knife-proof vests
GPS trackers
Night-vision cameras
& โdogglesโ goggles made especially to protect them
from dust & debris.
Since the beginning of the conflicts In Iraq & Afghanistan
the Dept. of Defense has spent
one million dollars training & maintaining MWDs.
First into battle.
Trained to attack, hold down & incapacitate the enemy.
U.S. Special Operations forces employ MWDs
during raids.
Fighter dogs chase down & restrain fugitives or prisoners.
They jump out of airplanes.
Seek out wounded troops
& retrieve medical help by barking
or dragging the wounded to safety.
They keep morale high.
They give soldiers a sense of companionship & belonging...
And these angelic animals were left behind
in Afghanistan ๐
"A dog is the only thing on Earth
that will love you more than you love yourself."
~ Josh Billings, 19th century American writer
This makes my blood boil.
I'm speechless with sorrow.
I grieve for our fallen Soldiers & their families.
I pray for Americans behind enemy lines.
But when it comes to children & animals,
I can't bear it.
They are the most beautiful,
innocent,
unconditionally loving souls
on Earth.
Harm to them is unspeakable agony
for them & for all who love them so dearly.
And THESE animals
THESE brave brave pups
I have no words for my anguish
for them
for their handlers
& for the Soldiers who love them.
My detestation for the deep state demons
that left these angels in Kabul,
& in cages,
knows no bounds ๐๐๐พ๐พ
โYou think dogs will not be in Heaven?
I tell you, they will be there long before any of us.โ
