Which ones are the Cats?

A great new find - spotted way of others.
Check out a preview of a series coming along from across the ocean:

Cat Shit One Movie Trailer









(Thats clearly an awesome title just by itself. Nevermind the bunnies killing what appears to be donkeys. Only begs the question of which ones are the cats?)
Now it kinda bugs me that its Japanese - cant really associate/empathize with them to place me in the action well unless I learn Japanese. I am not ethnocentric but damn these guys for never siding with any of the sides i have lived with...

Thank you wiki for a breakdown:

Plot:

The manga follows three American soldiers in the Vietnam War named Bota, Perky and Rats. All three are in the recon group called Cat Shit One. Each mission (or chapter) shows the daily activities of the reconnaissance group in Vietnam. There are sections of the manga which give brief history and truths behind the war, such as the types of weapons used by different countries and the activities of forces in the war. At the end of volume one there is a chapter called Dog Shit One — separate from the main story — showing human characters.
However : The animated version was rumoured to revolve around the Iran hostage crisis, rather than Vietnam,[3], but a version of the trailer that includes non-official English subtitles indicates that the action takes place after 1991.[4] The series is due for release early 2010

The manga depicts the characters as different animals according to their nationality as follows:
