so i am watching dolphin army. no joke. turns out the US military have been ‘hiring’ dolphins as soldiers. how cool. but i feel it is kinda cruel to make use of dolphins for selfish purposes. the US military classified them into 3 different grades. the lowest grade dolphins are the suicide bombers. they are trained to carry bombs on their back and activate the bomb using a switch carried in their mouth. those poor things don’t even know they are gonna die.
the second grade dolphins are the mine sweepers. the sweep the sea for mines! how cool! this batch of dolphins don’t necessarily have to sacrifice themselves during operation but still accidents do happen.
badss dolphin! *credits to the rightful owner*
the first grade dolphins are the most intelligent of the batch. they can deactivate/kill bombs by carrying bombs to the mines and swim off after dropping off the bombs. they don’t have to die during the operation and normally the army don’t want them to die either because it takes a long time to train a first grade dolphins.
the presenter then told a joke that actually happened to the US army. the US army send out a school of dolphins to scan for mines in the sea and all dolphins return with no signs of mines detected. so the general or whoever signal for the warships to move forward. THEN! one of the warship kena bombed! so the very pissed general send out the dolphins to scan the area one more time for mines but all return without any detection of mines. so the general signal for the warships to move forward. and another ship was bombed. LOL. turns out two dolphins rebelled, they found the mines and brought it to just in front of the warships so when it moved forward it will trigger off the mine and get bombed. the funny part is when the trainer signal for all the dolphins to return, the two traitors swim back obediently as well. LOL. but the US army didn’t treat them kindly. they brought the two dolphins to court and had them prosecuted. the two dolphins were executed. very sad.. i think the more humane way would be to return them back to zoo or something. most definitely not let them out back to the wild because they are trained assassin!!!
very cool right… the next time i see dolphins i am going to see them in a whole new light.
