Dolphins And The Military

April 2, 2003 | ISSUE 39•12

  • It's one thing to put human lives at risk in a war, but dolphins? That's just unconscionable.

  • I support the U.S. dolphin military program. For many dolphins, the G.I. Bill is the only way they can afford college.

  • As someone who wore a T-shirt with a dolphin on it almost every day in fourth grade, I find this development troubling. My nickname in school was 'fishshirt.'

  • I gave up canned tuna for the dolphins, and now they're just blowing them to shit?

  • Sure, they'll tell you about the success of the Navy dolphins, but will they tell you about the 10,000-dolphin protest in Chicago last weekend?

  • This is the military. We should be amazed they're not using baby chicks.
