Iraq Dog Abuse by US troops

We shot dogs in the Gulf War, when you see an animal eating bodies and running around with remains in their mouths you kind of lose that cute cuddly feeling you once had for them. After seeing one eating the throat of a dead Iraqi I never wanted to own a dog again. It was ok for us to kill the Iraqis in a violent manner but taboo for the dogs to do what was natural for them as scavengers... odd.

Fast forward to today and we have had five dogs and they are part of our family, go figure. The three that have passed we have in memorial urns in the china cabinet and the remaining two are spoiled beyond belief.

These guys are young and pumped full of that Marine "kill everything hooah!" brainwashing, they're in a war zone, they have to be that way. When they come back these memories will haunt them, they always do.
 
It's one thing to shoot and cleanly kill a dog that's gone feral and scavenging on human remains and quite another to take a harmless puppy (I'm sure the other troops would've loved to adopt and had as a mascot ,one that just might alert them to infiltrators) and throw it to let it die a painful lingering death!
 
It appears that they have tracked him down, and his home address and phone number have been posted on the Interweb.

His family seem to be getting death threats now.

I won't say anything more.

That was totally uncalled for.

Yes, what they did was wrong and I hope they face UCMJ action, but buddy you need to apologize for that remark!

I'm waiting.....a$$hole!!!!

You need to apologize to every Veteran on here and all those serving in the US military at this time.
 
I agree with Haggis, What was done to the puppy was hella wrong, but the chop the head off remark was crossing the line. I'm not condoning the actions by the Marines in the film but wishing death on those involved is acroos the line. Those guys are over there under serious stress (I know I've been there), it does not excuse the behavior. They were wrong in their actions no doubt, and the Military will dish out the appropriate discipline.

Do a google search on some of those behading videos. I've watched some of them, I wouldn't wish that on one of my worst enemies.

I'm sure this person was greatly affected by the posted video. I don't blame him/her for posting what he posted, however, he probably posted it immediately after viewing the video...where emotions are at their worst. Wishing death on anyone is wrong, I agree. I'm sure this person will apologize soon...lets not get nasty and demand apologies, and name call. Have some patience and give it some time? Everyone reacts differently to things like this.

I'm an animal lover, and I had to turn it off. I saw the marine go to throw the dog, and I stopped it. I can't watch stuff like that. It makes me sick, and it makes me want to beat the marines face in until he's bloody, for doing that. He deserves it. Everyone knows it. He does not however, deserve death.

Just my opinion.

No Matt, I am pissed I proudly served with the US Military and for anyone to wish one of our soldiers to be beheaded by the enemy is not only an a$$hole, but is a traitor to his country.

Well your not getting a ****ing apology. There is something seriously wrong with someone who does that to defenseless animal. Something so wrong that it is not inappropriate to raise the question if they should even be allowed in society.

I feel pity for his family. His family does not deserve to be harassed based on the actions of the ****head.

I do not believe in the abuse of any animal, I would be the first one to kick the Marines's ass for what they did.

But, for you to wish that the enemy behead one of our soldiers makes you no better then those that wish to destroy our way of life. If you feel that way you should move over to Iraq so one of our loyal soldiers can put a FU*KING bullet in your head, A$$HOLE!!!

I love ignorant people like you who don't even understand what America is about. Is that really the best you can come up, telling me to move to Iraq? Please....


1. Iraq was/is fraudulent war

2. I really have no sympathy for people who got involved in this moronic war. Since this is an all volunteer professional army you cant support them with out supporting their mission.

3. They want to destroy our way of life because of atrocities our government has been committing in the middle east since the conclusion of WW2

I watched it once. I showed it to my wife. I wouldn't dare show it to my daughter. And I simply can't watch it anymore, it makes me sick to my stomach that a human being could such a thing to a little defenseless pup.

I hear the government has ruled the video is real. They are therefore taking a VERY serious view on it and will prosecute once the morons are identified. I think they are going after more than just the moron who tossed the dog.

Im in Iraq right now ensuring you have your right to say what ever you want however it doesnt sound like you support the troops from your last statement, we leave our friends and family behind, some to never make it back home so your quality of life as an American never changes.

3 or 4 troops out of the 130,000+ troops that are in Iraq right now...Think about that.:mad2: Try fighting for your country when it is at war...Like I have stated before I dont condone what was done but you have no idea of what happens to you mentally being in a place like this. Enjoy being American and have a good day!

I hate the be brutally honest but If I don't support your mission it would be rather hypocritical to support the troops. However that does not mean I want to see you fail. The operation failing in Iraq would cause more harm then never even going in.
 
Thank you for that update Sheriff and yes the line stars behind me.

2,4shofast,

Do not try and waste your breath on that scum and yes I also served to protect idiots like him his freedom of speech, though he will never understand. He sits back at his computer typing his bs so the world will be sorry for him.

Last thing, even if you support the war or not you support those that put their lives on the line defending our country and our way of life. I thank all those serving in the US military whether abroad or home for continuing to protect my country and my family from those that wish to do us harm.

Let's see, do I have this right:

"I don't want to see you fail, but I'd be a hypocrite to support you."

Come on now, fess up, you're really Harry Ried, Nancy Pelosi, or some other bleeding heart liberal hiding behind that screen name, aren't you?:rolleyes:

Either you're for 'em, or you're against 'em; and if you're for 'em then suggestions about beheading our soldiers for any reason is way out of line.

That's my opinion and I'm sticking to it.

SCCH
