According to China’s People’s Daily Online, the Taliban have taught monkeys to recognize U.S. Military uniforms and shoot at the soldiers using AK-47s, Bren machine guns, and mortars.
Full Story – HERE
Ugh, lets hope there are no splinter cells here at zoos in the United States. :P
On the plus side, i’m pretty confident a monkey wouldn’t have very advanced military tactics, and could easily be taken out with a .22 LR or enticed to stop shooting with some more food.
Thanks to this story, I will no longer associate monkeys and AKs with this cute picture.

the drum on the MG its using is no larger than its head….. not to mention the rifle is like, 1/6th size… I can accept krinkovs but thats ridiculous =P
haha yea
Wow.
You know what this means?
It means that the frakking Taliban are starting to run out of prospective recruits. It means that the global gene pool is finally getting some chlorine. It means that fewer people out there want to embrace martyrdom – (synonym for ‘getting blown up real good’)
It means that the good guys are WINNING.
By the way, do the animal rights enthusiasts over at P.E.T.A. know about this despicable atrocity? (snark intended)
hehe yea. I wouldn’t be surprised if there was some sort of top secret taliban program where they are trying their hardest to breed with monkeys to make a super soldier.
hahah PETA
Don’t laugh–I hear the monkeys have better reliability and combat discipline than the Afghan National Army.
haha no doubt
