Man, they're really scraping the bottom of the Exercise name barrel, aren't they? Frozen beaver?! Sounds like that Marine running song from Full Metal Jacket.

That article really made my day. I love how they made an Inukshuk out of the stones. I also love how their first mission was to find rocks. Sorry let me rephrase that, "Select" rocks suitable for the mission. Frozen Beaver? What a kickass name! Using an animal that has great symbolism to our country and using the name in a obviously worthy mission. I hate to think but I don't think the Beavers were the ones who were frozen out there. To think we spend time and money on doing things like that is maybe not my idea of proper budget spending but if it raises morale and people respect it I say power to them. If I see that Inukshuk out there some day, I'll salute it!
