To be honest, I can't really remember (it was a good few years ago!)
There must have been something about animals being used in some military capacity, and that then led on to flights of fancy about what would be the most dangerous small animal (probably triggered by repeats of The Young Ones with their hamster) People were quite creative (a ferret with a bandolier comes to mind), then it finally ended up with the ultimate - the combat capybara (semi-aquatic, so good in all situations; large incisors for cutting through fences; strong carrying capability...) The picture that someone posted stuck in my mind a bit, that's all (and you must admit, it's a good comment to throw into a conversation!!!) :D
