Prairie Pooch Says Nicht to Acupuncture

The military medical community has been using all sorts of alternative therapies -- yoga, meditation, even animal-petting -- to ease the strains of post-traumatic stress disorder FOR returning troops. One of the non-traditional treatments will be used in a war zone for the first time. "The Air Force will begin teaching 'battlefield acupuncture' early next year to physicians deploying to Iraq and Afghanistan," reports the Baltimore Sun's David Wood. "The initiative marks the first high-level endorsement of acupuncture by the traditionally conservative military medical community, officials said."

The Prairie Pooch gets shot up on the battlefield, and he hollers, "Medic!  Bring your acupuncture needle."  

Nope.  Nicht.  Nyet!
