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?

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?!?!
I am partial to squirrel pot pie myself.
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.
