Why so many squirrels dressed in military gear?

I did an image search in Google for a squirrel (as I wanted to make my avatar a squirrel) and amongst all the images were a lot where people have computer generated military clothes on squirrels and have them carrying guns. What gives?

But there’s also a squirrel playing the banjo and a pirate squirrel and a squirrel with a hat and a squirrel with a camera.

So….yeah… :D

We need the army squirrels to protect us from the attack squirrels.

Welcome to fluther, @Ponderer983!

As it happens, you’ve chosen the same image that we all know and recognize as a long-time fluther member, jbfletcherfan. (You squirrel lovers should get acquainted.) This kind of innocent duplication does happen once in a while around here. So—great pic, but I think you might want to look for another.

I was thinking @jbfletcherfan had started over or something! I was so confused in a different thread.

Make sure your squirrel hasn’t left the gas on.

@Jeruba HAHA complete accident that I picked the same one…weirdness and thanks for the welcome.
@aprilsimnel No I’m a fucking squirrel (I hope you are quoting Eddie Izzard, one of my faves!!)

To all…I guess it’s just funny to dress up squirrels?!?!

It’s due to an obscure clause in the Patriot Act. The CIA has recruited them to defend our land from the Rodent Taliban~.

They are trying to pick up girl squirrels by pretending to squirrel Seals? Did any of them have a bunch of medals in his pocket?

Because they’re tough little buggers with a well earned reputation for stealth missions & their cunning intellect.Besides which they’re jealously guarding their nuts.

@Ponderer983 Ohhh..am I being infringed on here? I must protest. I have a patent on this image. I’ve been this particular squirrel on two sites for going on 3 years. So, yes, if you’re going with the squirrel look, please pick another besides me. Thanks, Jeruba, for catching that.
