OK scratch the wombats. Too bad too, the wordplay potential alone
was worth the price of the ticket: "Shall we go in sir?" "No, too
dangerous.
Get the combat wombat." etc. Is there an aardvark preservation society?
Or how about using bunyips instead.

Oh how I long to see that photo. Sounds like a true collectors item.
Actually, battle zones are far too dangerous for even bunyips or
aardvarks. All battle should be done by machines. Observation of battle
should be done by machines. They are cheap, expendable, easily
replaceable, they have no mothers to mourn their passing. War is
absurd. Remove the humans from it, lose the aardvarks and bunyips. spike
