My friends are highly intelligent, loyal, strong, sentient beings with their own laws, customs, history, etc.
That doesn't mean they could sit on my shoulder while I was on watch in the Navy....
I kid, I kid. I did read the book, and I know the deal with the bonding and all.
By the way, it's worth mentioning that in the book, even with the concessions made in the regs for these alien creatures, other service members did give the treecat funny looks from time to time. The idea that others in that world found the situation as odd as I did helped me accept it a bit.
