i remember my first contact in iraq gues what the first thing i did was............................i laughed because i was scared it was my way of showing what i was feeling.
so his opinion one persons opinion thats probably serving 5 minutes gives you the right to tarnish the rest of the armed forces?

If you'd read my reply, you'd have been able to infer that I have more respect for animals because they aren't capable of killing for fun. I would give my life for my dog because he would do the same for me. A dog, besides one's mother or father, is capable of giving unconditional love. Dogs look up to us for protection and care. No animal or human was put on this earth for sick games and entertainment value. Yet, humans with warped minds are excused in the name of war.
The soldiers in this video do not deserve any respect. The service men, retired or active, who are defending their actions should be ashamed of themselves. These types of soldiers should be shunned by their cohorts. This is the only way this type of behavior will stop. If any of the soldiers in the video didn't agree with what was going to happen to this dog and didn't say anything to stop it, they are cowards and are just as guilty as the ones who actively participated in the dog's death.edit on 3-1-2012 by Afterthought because: (no reason given)
You people are soft. Ever slaughtered your own dinner?, no?, and you call yourself a man? You may as well discard your canines for molars and just start chewin your cud, because you are nothing but prey.
It's an instinct that has been bred into them for thousands of years.

Only a moron can't tell the difference between weakness and compassion.
There is necessary "bad" in this world, and then there's giggling about the demise of a helpless animal.
You damn well know that farming has replaced hunting for the most part - the very type of lifestyle the military supposedly defends. It has nothing to do with anybody being a pussy. Get off your macho soapbox, nobody's impressed.
