| Solider Video I was watching CNN today and they showed an American solider throwing a puppy off a cliff in Iraqi or somewhere like that. Has anyone else seen this horrific video?? If you have not I do NOT recommend watching it. I am so pissed ! I want to throw him off a cliff. They said he is getting death threats. Good for him-bastard

| doctored I would believe the film was doctored before I would believe it is real. My husband is army and we know A LOT of deployed guys. They love having dogs over there... it makes them feel more at home. Unless maybe this guy was trying to get a "nutso" discharge... which could be it.... otherwise...why tape it and who taped it ... they are just as responsible. hmmmmm |

| I've read this in the paper but I havent watched the video and don't plan to. I can't deal with that stuff. I'm still waiting to find out if it's real or not. Supposedly the soldier doesn't live too far from me, hopefully this thing with the threats towards him doesn't get too out of hand.

| Mascot My husband has been stationed in Iraq several times... he said the poor dogs over there are in very bad shape, but that still doesn't dignify what that guy did... what a horrible thing. I feel bad for the dogs over there, poor things.... I also have heard of many soldiers taking in some starving pets over there. It's a very bad situation. Dot

| I just found this.... There was a link on the Youtube video to a website www.puppytoss.com! It only has the video and a picture of the Marine with his full name! Someone should pick him up by the neck and throw him off a cliff!!

| That is despicable. I am too afraid to watch the video though. I'll get too upset. |

| Mascot I think we all know there are many Marines that are over there doing their jobs.... let's not get off the subject of how horrific the act of this Marine or few Marine's was... it has nothing to do with why are we over there, that becomes a political debate that nobody wants to get into on YT..... Dot

| Mascot Yes, I am definetely ot excusing his crime... he did a crime he should be punished!!!!! I just didn't want it to become a military issue rather then an issue of a mean person, because there are many men who serve proudly and with dignity..... (ok, my husband is a soldier) and I am partial to the military.... and my husband LOVES animals, he was also upset over this story!!!!! I just think we should focus on this "man's" actions... not his employment position.

| Perfectly stated! If my husband were to see this video, he also would be very upset over it! He too is an animal lover and a soldier... (I may be partial to the military as well.)
