We tried this in the 60's
From The Mudville Gazette
Afghanistan’s Taliban insurgents are training monkeys to use weapons to attack American troops, according to a recent report by a British-based media agency…
…In a sense, the emergence of “monkey soldiers” is the result of asymmetrical warfare. The United States launched the war in Afghanistan using the world’s most advanced weapons such as highly-intelligent robots to detect bombs on roadsides and unmanned aerial vehicles to attack major Taliban targets. In response, the Taliban forces have tried any possible means and figured out a method to train monkeys as “replacement killers” against American troops.
Don’t worry we have Johnny West and Major Matt Mason to help us out.
If that doesn’t work we’ll send in these guys…

Defeat is imminent for the “hairy beasties!” The US Gov’t. just anounced a new hand grenade that looks like a banana!
Maybe next these monkeys can can be sent to NASA and become astronauts.
Geez, I not only had a Monkey Division mortar that fired spring-loaded plastic rounds, but a ton of Major Matt Mason stuff, too.
And yes, my elementary school playground really was built on concrete and asphalt. I rode a bike with no helmet.
Life was good, and here I still am.
You should have seen the swings on the schoolgrounds when I was a kid. They were suspended by heavy steel chains and the swingseats were 2×8 oak. If you fell off the swing and it clocked you in the head, you were toast and comatose for at least a week!
Heh… we had the same steel chains and steel tubular frames, but the seats were made out of old car tires cut to shape. Steel monkey bars. Steel slides. Steel merry-go-rounds, etc. All on asphalt and concrete.
I miss the days before the nanny state took over out schools.
Steel slides in a Tx summer was a less than brilliant move by the Parks and Rec dept.
Taught you a lesson though.
Heh… this is the mortar I was talking about.
Here is that doesn’t work:

Boy, do I feel young.
That’s because you ARE young.
Where there is fire, there is smoke. And in that smoke, from this day forward, my people will crouch and conspire and plot and plan for the inevitable day of Man’s downfall – the day when he finally and self-destructively turns his weapons against his own kind. The day of the writing in the sky, when your cities lie buried under radioactive rubble! When the sea is a dead sea, and the land is a wasteland out of which I will lead my people from their captivity! And we will build our own cities in which there will be no place for humans except to serve our ends! And we shall found our own armies, our own religion, our own dynasty! And that day is upon you… now! ~ Caesar
General Petraeus has announced that he has sent in a negotiator to deal with the monkeys. The man’s name is unknown, but he is apparently wearing a yellow hat.
[...] The Monkey Division and how we beat their hairy asses [...]
Or we may fight fire with fire…
