That's just ridiculous. What would be the point of doing something like that other than to simply be cruel?

Oh the duality of man!

The irony in this story is INCREDIBLE!

We WANT him to kill other human beings, no, we CELEBRATE the killing of other human beings...

But we're going to get pissed when he kills a dog???

If it makes anybody feel better, we regularly destroy enemy supply caches when we discover them. Think of it as denying the enemy tomorrows dinner.

Exactly.....if he was doing his job, he would have been throwing a terrorist(insurgent) off of that cliff.

I dont think that puppy was trying to kill him though. Now if that puppy was a threat to our national security or hell even if it was a way to get more Oil then way to go.

I'm not celebrating death and/or killing one way or another nor do I "want" him/anyone to kill human beings/anyone/anything

from a commenter:

Quote:
Throwing a puppy into a ravine is representative of having no respect for life, it represents lack of education and civilisation. By the way the Red Army defeated Nazi Germany, as 80 % of German forces where fielded in the east against the Russians. Also don't forget GW Bush's grandfather delivered weapons to Hitler and helped Hitler gain power. Also God is a human invention and Bush is a mental MIDGET.


1st part OK :yeah: 2nd part - no axe to grind there ..........


Quote:
Whereas if this soldier is wounded or killed, Donald Rumsfield makes money on medical supplies, and the defense industry profits in equipment purchases for his replacement.

Where do these people get their delusions .....


this guy got the Marines info from myspace:

YTwatchdawg

I got this off of Myspace. So here is some information on the bastard in this video. I hope you use it wisely. Perhaps call the seattle news channels, or this guys JAG office. Does this moron not realize that we live in the information age?

Hmm tossing a puppy is wrong so lets murder the perp:
