I'm just happy that the two marines responsible for this horrible act were punished. Unfortunately though, because of their actions, it only feeds the fires of those that already hate us and our military...

They got what they deserved. Poor puppy.

"civilian" does not equal target practice opportunity------- thats a load of shit

It's different when you put a dog to sleep..and when you put a person to sleep. It takes alot less to condemn a dog than it does a person.

As they say, 10 good things will be overshadows by a single bad act.

What a sanctimonious bunch of hypocrites we have all become.

Shock and horror. A soldier killed a dog.

He'd get a medal if it was a "terrorist" in Guantanimo Bay or in Iraq or Afghanistan. They have been so demonized by corrupt political regimes and the media that people are now more concerned over the loss of a dogs life than they are over the loss of human life.

Killerbee, I like you. I hate to say, but sometimes death and destruction are justified means of insuring "peace". That doesn't make it pretty. Hundreds of thousands of Iraqi civilians, who could give a crap about who governs them, have been slaughtered in a war that was declared "victorious" years ago. 4000 US military, dead (that's just Iraq)(so far).How many more will die as we click our way through the news channels, looking for something interesting? A puppy dies. THE HORROR!
How numb have we become to real horror? It's all kind of sickening.
Those marines need to be thrown off a cliff. I might have pushed one, had I been present.
Sanctimonious hypocrites is a pretty accurate term. I hate to admit, but it seems I'm no better sometimes, deciding what's a good death or a bad death. I'd still throw that piece of shit right behind the puppy.

I'm glad SOMEONE likes me, but I prefer Captain Kirk

It's interesting what you say about peace. In fact there are levels of peace and the level of peace that the Iraqis had under Saddam would have been preferable to the level of peace they have now.
To me fighting for peace is like screwing for virginity.

Is it my ears? I could have them cropped.........or not! I agree that sad as it sounds, the world was actually a better place with that bastard(Saddam) keeping the Iranians in check. What's preferable....50,000 get tortured or 500,000 die? Tough call.
