Despite carrying the latest in military technology, the US is concerned pollution from oil installations will clog up detection equipment, hindering efforts to pick up traces of poisonous gases or chemical agents.

Chickens will be placed in cages on the top of their Hum-Vee vehicles.

The smallest traces of gases or chemicals will kill the birds, warning the troops to put their gas masks on.

Soldiers have dubbed the operation KFC - for Kuwait Field Chicken.

For some reason, this reminded me of an article in the latest Wired, about how many dig cameras will soon have analog image sensing chips.

Makes sense...after all a Humvee going at 30-80 miles an hour with a caged, gas-sniffing chicken attached to the roof isnt that uncommon nowadays is it? I bet the chicken loves getting the wind ruffling through it's feathers while it awaits death from some toxic odour. And to think they could be using the chickens to feed starving refugess who have fled the area due to fear of incineration...another day in the US Army.

I have this sudden image of a humvee with a big Col. Sanders painted on the side and a chicken strapped to the top.

Yay. Hope for an article on this in their website. Maybe they'd like to murder the sadistic people behind K-9 squads...

What a bunch of dumbassed moronic idiots. (Yes, thats redundant, I know.)
