From cnn:
What kind of army demotes a goat? I feel for the people of Great Britain...

Is the British military for real? When I first saw this I thought it was some sort of an April fools joke. But I checked my calendar and it's June.
I will leave you with one of my personal favorite quotes from the article. This quote stands by itself:
