What the hell is going on? Some dangerous reporting from the BBC has been discovered on reddit. This bear "hero" was found by Polish troops in Iran (a little lost, maybe?) and was enlisted so it could join them on their European deployment.
A campaign has been launched to build a permanent memorial to a bear which spent much of its life in Scotland - after fighting in World War II.The bear was trained to carry mortar rounds and drink beer. All the requirements necessary to be a soldier in the Polish Army.
If only the Polish had had an army of bears in the first place, they wouldn't have had any trouble with those Germans...
