Er, I don't follow the logic. How do you exterminate open source,
sneakily delete from every ftp server and harddisk? Solaris didn't
exterminate *BSD. I think MacOS X is about to perk a lot of interest in
FreeBSD.

Yes. Dogs are used extensively in some warzones for such things
where a dog's superior sense of smell can make a difference.
In Vietnam, they were used for the purposes of sniper detection,
and finding tunnel entrances/exits.
But he is talking about military VETERANS, not veteranarian doctors.
