Out of the tens of thousands of cannons sitting on the north side of the

submunitions across their firing positions... while reducing their
command centers to smoking holes in the ground and jamming
communications.

How do you jam a homing pigeon?

Big magnet.

More to the point, I thought carrier pigeons were extinct?

That would be passenger pigeons, as of 1914.

I know homing pigeons aren't, but I thought they weren't useful for
communications purposes?
