whatever you might think... this is just another case that demonstrates lack of discipline in an army the fact all these characters are more or less doing what they like shows that as soldiers they don't measure up. what use in a battle situation is a man who more or less do what he wants? then again you only need to look at the commander in chief to know whats wrong.
I find it strange that people wish to justify this act because it was just a puppy. I think what we should look at are the motives for the act. It appears to me that it was just a form of entertainment for this young man and his friends. What will they do for their jollies the next time? Abortion doesn't factor in, it's simply a diversionary tactic used by some that never want to look at the reality of the situation. Usually judgemental folks that love to measure and equate power and superiority with their right to decide who's life has value. And the King will answer and say to them, "Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me.' Matthew 25:40
throwing a puppy off a cliff is no worse than cutting the head off an unborn baby who deserved to have a good life because you want to get dicked but not take responsibility for your actions
Even though this post wasn't addressed to me, I have to say something. Having lived near Fort Benning GA, and growing up surrounded by military family, I think I can safely say that many, if not most military men are some of the most disgusting, vile, twisted sickos I've ever known. And the way they tend to gang up to commit their crimes is shocking and horrible. Getting paid to kill people does not make you a hero. As shitty as it sounds, getting a leg blown off or your face burned off doesn't suddenly wipe the slate clean and make you a good person. It is very unfortunate, and it's a tragedy for all involved....but you don't nessecarily deserve respect for it. So what if they're out "defending" this country? I don't care. If you rape children, if you murder someone's dog in cold blood (it's on youtube, linked to that video), if you kill innocent bystanders, if you beat your wife, or throw puppies off of a cliff, then I don't care how much of your face gets burned off, or how deep your parents have to bury you. You will never, ever gain my respect.
Another bigot. Labeling a whole group when you only came in contact with a small percentage. Now if I said I worked in the worst slum in NYC and the blacks there were the most vile, uneducated, violent, disgusting people I've ever known and thus have no respect for black people you would INSTANTLY call me a bigot. Say I'm wrong. But you do the same with the military and it's just fine. Judging the whole based on actions of the few. I guess it's all about politcal correctness. It way cool to crap on the military and WAY uncool to say anything about other groups. So, you ARE a predjudiced bigot whether you like it or not. And not much better than the people you describe.
How the hell do you know the person with his legs blown off or his face burnt off has ANY slate to be wiped clean??? Your blind hatred or them automatically makes you think they ALL did something to deserve what happened to them. You wouldn't even bother to find out what kind of person he/she really id. Just pre-judge them because of the uniform. Are you saying they ALL rape, kill dogs, kill innocent bystanders, beat their wives? Or is this just a convenient excuse to spew YOUR vile hate? Do yourself a favor, do a little research and see if propotionally, current or former military members commit more of less crime compare to non-milotary people. Ex: how many out of 100. I know the answer, but I'll let you do the research so you can't say Im playing with the numbers. Or are you too lazy to evern TRY to justify your comments?
You're wrong. I have little respect for anyone who is wiling to sign away their life to the government pigs as a killing machine.
would be much more supportive of the military if it was your ass gettin pounded by the germans or your siblings getting blown up by terrorists, you take everything they provide you with for granted and then talk shit about them
agreed; thank you. Its good to see I'm not the only one who sees that they're trying to change the subject and compare two completely different things.
I don't support war. i don't support drafts; dragging people into the president's war. I don't support government killing machines. I don't see any good reason anyone would willingly join the military unless they fall for their lies about how they'll pay for college, or they'll see the world like its some adventure. No. When you join the army you are signing away your life and telling Bush, "I wanna be your weapon of mass destruction!". They're willingly putting they're life on the line for nothing; aside for getting oil.
you're right we shoulda just let the germans take over the world! and we should have no armed forces or police or anyone that provides any protective services because they are just tools of destruction, the world doesnt play nice just because you enjoy a cushy life in the states, the armed forces make it possible to live your way of life, you would pretty much be executed in other countries for talking that shit, they put their life on the line for pieces of shit like you
Draft? What draft? Apparently you know something we don't. When was the draft re-instated? I don't support the war either, but it wasn't the foot soldier's decision to go in there now, was it? Adn as I'm sure your part of the "Don't judge me" crowd, where do you get off judging those who join? How the hell do YOU know all of their motivations? Oh, that's right, you pre-judge everyone before knowing all the facts. Once again I ask you, was the bad old US military's involvement in ending WWII and the holocaust good or bad??
Of course the corporate media NEVER shows these photos. For every puppy video I'll bet there are thousands of images like these which the sheeple never see. Try to not let the media which only want to sell advertising shape your views without further research. Violence, sex and guns sell papers and drive corporate TV news viewership, not positive stories like the photo's above portray. Mainstream media news are businesses, in it to make $$$.
Wow. You sure didnt sell your point of view to me at all. Tragic story of the century... misrepresenation by the media... big whoop... They're still fighting for nothing and SOMEONE THREW A DOG OF A FUCKING CLIFF. Besides the clear mental instability of some of these troops... okay, that's the end of my point. Mental instability.
I knew you were going to take what I said and completely blow it out of porportion. How mature! Then you insult me with profanity, so intelligent. There is a difference between protecting ourselves, and being World Police. The current government is terrorising everyone else, including us! The military isn't about self defense, but money making.
