...... take the place of carrier pigeons & carry messages in Iraq & Afghanistan? I heard where pigeons can't be trusted to be as loyal as the bald eagle as to where, or whom, it delivers its messages... Is this true?

As they say, 'Only in America!'
Nothing would surprise me anymore if this was true.

Seriously doubt it and don't know you would have gotten that info. Some animals have been trained to do some things for the military but I doubt if bald eagles would be used-first off not that many of them, symbolic importance and because they are native to North American and not found much of anywhere else. If you were going to train a bird for something like that you would use one that does not attract attention and a bald eagle in many parts of the world would attract attention.

They had a squadron of bald eagles at Offut Air Base from 1983 until 1987, they used scotty from Yuma as a training aid, the eagles thought he was a target and dumped on him. which is why he hid under a desk for four years. It was so hard for him that he left for a lucrative career as a walmart rent_a_cop

Actually the latest technology on high tech communication is using a family of mutated super moles to create a vast underground information highway where we strap a laptop computer to their backs as they heroically make their way to the intended recepient, being careful not to disturb the computer too much, or it'll risk accidentally deleting what the message sender typed in notepad O_o

This is untrue. The US armed forces can deliver messages more effectively using techology that doesn't involve utilizing and potentially harming random animals. Whoever told you this was apparently bored and looking for entertainment. Take care!

Just goes to show how little the general population knows about the military.
Thought processes like these are the same ones which spawn ludicrous conspiracy garbage...

The answer is definitely NO, but if Haliburton can find a way to sell it to the government, you can rest assured it would be tried.
