Ok, so, some story time I heard today from a friend. When he was in Afghanistan with the Australian equivalent of an ODA (SOF), he discovered that the Aussies had a secret weapon for getting info out of the Taliban: hedgehogs.
So this dude would roll out with the Aussies and he notices that their cargo pockets are...moving. Doesn't know what's going on till they roll up their first Taliban dudes. The Aussies walk in and the Talib dude isn't talking. So out come the hedgehogs from their pockets
And the dudes are kinda confused. Like, why are these soldiers pulling out rodents. Then the Aussies press the front paw of the hedgehogs. And they inflate.

And the Taliban lose their goddam minds and start spilling all the beans because this rat just inflated twice its size
Yeah, the Aussies use these hedgehogs through the whole deployment and they go home with them. Combat hedgehogs.

I desperately want this story to be true.
