Obviously we need to nip this before it becomes a problem.  Death to the orcs!
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Disagree.  Let me be the first to welcome our new Orca Overlords.

I'm not surprised. Orcas are very smart.

Please, they shit where they live and don't have the sense to cook their food.  That's why they have worms.  Now that they know how to talk maybe they could ask us where the bathroom is?  The only good orca is a dead orca.
