Probably not, but the US military is now training troops to use donkeys and mules in Afghanistan: http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la-me ... 8109.story

Interesting, "The actual mule who appeared on-screen was not a male at all, but a female."

I always thought Mules were ambidextrous.

I used to chat with back in the day and she was always quite friendly to me. Not sure if it was my looks, personality, smell, or all three.

Francis the Talking Mule was played by a girl mule.

Lassie was always played by boy dogs.

Can't trust anybody! :roll:
