Baghdad Pups

I'm touting this post by digby today, because it deserves it.

First, we hear too much about the results of the "moral waivers" the armed forces are granting to keep up their numbers, and it's too easy to forget that most of the people in uniform are pretty much like us. (OK, I admit it -- I'm an extreme case: I'm one of those people who put earthworms back in the dirt when the crawl onto the sidewalk in rainstorms.)

Second, I think it's outrageous that it took until just recently for FEMA to provide for people's pets in disasters -- like letting them rescue them, too. As for the army regs as reported here, you can imagine what my reaction is to that.
