The ravens at the Tower of London are officially enlisted soldiers in the British Army
One raven got kicked out and sent to Wales for "conduct unbecoming" after attacking and destroying local TV aerials and another went AWOL to a nearby pub
I am not making a word of that up
@lambdagrrl Brigadier Sir Nils Olav would agree with you
(see, it's not just us being weird, other countries have birds with ranks too)
@troubleMoney hmm. birds are soldiers. cats eat birds. hence, cats are radical pacifists?
@lambdagrrl there have been cats that have been conscripted into various armed forces but so far as I can tell none of them bothered with any military-type tasks
@troubleMoney cats are conscientious objectors, then :p
@troubleMoney militarism is for the birds
