I was so worried for this pigeon after I saw it at the Imperial War Museum in London... poor chap! During WWII, pigeons were used as messengers, and they were strapped up with a mini parachute and dropped at specific spots into new territory/enemy lines/behind the or in front of the line (who knows)... they were dropped from the air~ a plane (with a secret message strapped to them). After the message was received and a reply was written to be delivered back, the pigeon was freed of it's chute and let free to fly back home! All good right.... Nooooooo!!
Now imagine the next time the pigeon is flying, it might think, "hey! wait a minute the other day I was successfully able to fly and float without flapping my wings, let me try it again"... only this time the poor chap would have gone down in a tail spin... this must have really messed up the pigeons confidence and ability to lead a normal pigeon life!
More reasons why war's are bad, and we should not support them!
