]]> Comment on Remember the puppy thrown off the cliff? by john http://leonineponderances.com/blog/2008/06/12/remember-the-puppy-thrown-off-the-cliff/#comment-96 john Thu, 19 Jun 2008 21:57:23 +0000 http://leonineponderances.com/blog/2008/06/12/remember-the-puppy-thrown-off-the-cliff/#comment-96 Rob, I thnk the soldier is almost right about the majority thing. The majority of our soldiers are asked to do things in Iraq that we would find repulsive, inhumane and probably would retch at the thought of. Everywhere I see this story I hear "well I love dogs so this marine is a cruel bastard". Only thing is Iraqis hate dogs. They kick them and leave them to fend for themselves in the streets. I have spoken to soldiers online who say it is normal for a soldier to have to euthanize dozens of puppies during a tour in certain provinces- and it's for their own good. They don't have the convenience of an injection and a vet, and usually have to shoot them. Do you like the sight of blood and braind and intestines splattered on rocks? Humans all deal with horror and inhumane tasks they HAVE to accomplish in their own way. I think the real story here is the Marine was dealing with HAVING to kill another puppy in his own rather twisted way. It was certainly cleaner for him and the puppy likely didn't hurt any worse than a bullet. I think we all missed the message he was inadvertantly sending us, that these men are going to come back changed- hardened by the inumanity of their jobs. In any case get over the idea that a Marine threw a puppy off a cliff for sick fun when there were loving homes for him all over Iraq. That puppy was in for one cruel and painfully short life. Motari did him a favor. Rob, I thnk the soldier is almost right about the majority thing.

Majority being soldiers are raging assholes. You want to know why so many countries hate USA. It's because their only experience with Americans is the huge asshole soldiers stationed in their respected countries. It's sad. I guess warriors don't make good diplomats.

" Watch me get fired, ruin a bunch of future career opportunities and kill this dog in 30 seconds flat." Any idiot can throw a dog from a cliff... it takes a special kind to tape and post it where it will be found. No? Say cheeeeese.

As far as I know, there are not that many bomb-strapped dogs running around Hawaii. This act was an outrage no matter how you look at it. Thanks for drawing attention to the conclusion of this case. Many times people just forget or don't care. These marines are no better than Michael Vick and should receive the same punishment.
