Allah preserve us!!! Head for the hills. Here comes the Princess Patricia's Light Infantry Canadian Troops Rue Afghans Getting Their Goat May 7, 2002 9:35 am EST BAGRAM AIR BASE, Afghanistan (Reuters) - The hero of a three-day Canadian sweep through the Tora Bora area of eastern Afghanistan wasn't an infantryman or a special forces soldier -- it was Jimmy the goat. Soldiers from the Third Battalion of the Princess Patricia's Light Infantry say Jimmy took such a liking to them, he trailed them all over the craggy mountains as they sought out cave complexes and took DNA samples from suspected al Qaeda corpses. Each time local villagers tried to take back the goat, Jimmy would escape back up the mountain to the soldiers. "The best thing about it (the mission) was Jimmy the goat," Master Corporal Calvin Schrader said Tuesday. "We went up and down and he just followed us everywhere." But the villagers were not that impressed and finally retrieved him once and for all. "He eventually got eaten by the locals," Schrader said. news.excite.com\|oddlyenough\|05-07-2002%3A%3A09%3A42\|reuters.html
