And the tactical camels can also be used as a source of yarn.

Yep, Amer. Sorry you have to work today.
I'm wondering what a huge transport of camels would smell like. Now I'm wishing I didn't try to wonder about that.

They'd walk a mile to defend Darfur.

No worries. It's Friday AND the RER A is running!!!
I lead a very sad life, sometimes.

Peace negotiations will involve selling the camel for food.

C'est vrai. Et un trés bon effort d'ecrire en français (my French is still farrrrrr from parfait). For vous, it's habitez. Mais tu-toi, s.t.p. (Nous nous sommes amis ensemble.) "Tu habite en France".
Bon weekend!

"All our camels are engaged in border-guarding duties...
US Customs should consider this. People would be a lot more honest in what they declare if they knew they were at risk of being horked on by a camel.
Also, I would like to personally declare that I have resisted making any "hump" references which are oh-so-tempting in any story involving camels. Thank you.

The way they phrased this, something about camels being armed, I kept picturing camels holding guns and pointing them at their enemies.

In the late 19th century, the British tried mounting Gatling guns on camels. It didn't work out.

I realized it after I came back and looked at it again- not bad for not having taken a French class in 20 years, right?

Ja.
