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.
