While extending it to the RAF as a whole would make the goat an endangered species...

In my experience, you'll find loads of rolling goats throughout the forces!!

Whilst working in Japan in January we had the afternoon off work. This allowed all the company employees could go to the company shrine to pray for safety in the factory

So this sort of thing happens in even technologically advanced countries

Done lots of SAR Trails which involved 2 Hercs, 4 Jags, 6 GR1's, a Tristar, VC10, a Ninrod, and of course..........a goat!!!!
Forgot to mention Carlos and his extended family in the Azores: who apparently keep goats
Whenever the Canadians have a problem, they always seem to blame "the goat"

As Sheakespear once wrote (and has been misquoted for many years)...

"Cry 'CAOC' and let roll the goats of war."

Several hundred goats have been delivered to a secret Airbase not far from our secret Oxon / Wilts aerodromes. They will be seen cantering around the southern dispersal for several more weeks and numbers will increase over the coming days. Tis the silly season once again.

Editing to ask if this is evidence for the "Nanny State"?
