Yeah, that's a gross generalization.
Still -- what the fuck?
From CNN: (http://www.cnn.com/2008/US/03/04/puppy.marine/index.html)
Video appears to show Marine abusing puppy
(CNN) -- The military is investigating a "shocking and deplorable" YouTube video that seems to show a Marine throwing a puppy off
a rocky cliff.
art.marine.puppy.youtube.jpg
YouTube.com removed the video for violating the Web site's terms of use.
The black-and-white puppy makes a yelping sound as it flies through the air.
"That's mean, that was mean," one companion says off-camera, addressing the alleged puppy thrower by his last name. The fate of
the animal is not known.
The Marine is identified on the video and in other Internet postings as a lance corporal stationed at Marine Corps Base Hawaii
in Kaneohe.
It's not clear where the video was shot, although the man who appears to throw the puppy and another Marine are in full combat gear
with helmets.
YouTube.com had taken down the video by 12:30 p.m. ET Tuesday "due to terms of use violation," according to a banner on the
Web site.
"This is a shocking and deplorable video that is contrary to the high standards that we set for every Marine," Marine Corps
spokesman Maj. Chris Perrine said at a news conference Monday night.
"We will investigate this and take appropriate actions," Perrine said.
P.S. Hey, CNN -- "abusing" in that headline is a pretty fucking soft word for it.

yes. I think they should have used the word "killing." I'm glad I can't see the video and they've taken it down.
:mad::( fucking jarheads.
but they aren't the only ones who make cruel videos...wasn't there a rash of videos out of Japan or China that depicted "crushing"...which was basically people stepping on puppies and kittens until they died? I remember reading about it.
some people are horrible.

Someone did a really bad animation of a human jumping off a cliff while a monkey/dog barks and wails in the background.
Trust me -- it's crappy.
Yeah. This is pretty awful. I'm really hoping that this is some kind of fake. I don't have any reason to believe it is other than that it's just so bad.

oh man, i didn't want to see that. but I had imagined something a little different and much worse, so I guess it's good that I saw what we are actually talking about.
that poor pup was probably only about 3-4 months old. no doubt that it would have broken it's back on impact.
that makes me so mad/sad. what a fuckhead.

that's bullshit. it's definitely NOT a stuffed toy.
and personally I don't think it's already dead. He's holding it the way mother dogs hold thier young and many puppies tuck thier tails and go limp when you hold them that way. if the puppy were already submissive and possibly sick or not completely healthy it would just hang there like that. dead animals tend to be somewhat stiff, unless they killed it mere moments before they threw it. if they happened upon a dead puppy in that kinda climate it would already be showing decay and you wouldn't be able to keep the flies off it.
I read about this last night and never watched the video.

That thing is dead. Almost to the point of having rigor mortis. It would be flailing like crazy as soon as it went airborne.
I don't have sound here but I'll even check that out. They're dipshits, still.

Actually soldiering and the practice of shooting dogs have a long history,particularily if they're abandoned/wild and eating corpses,which I can understand i suppose...but I've also heard that shooting a dog is a kind of a right of passage for cherry soldiers,first time in the field...I saw a fantastic W5 piece on Fallujah where soldiers shot this family dog and the Sgt. flipped on his men...and then the American greenbacks came out...it was bizarre watching this old arabic man with a handful of cash,totally confused,grandsons bawling...and he just wanted to know "why"??...and the Sgt. kept telling the translator over and over again to try and express to the grandfather that not all American soldiers were like this...:mad:

I don't know dude...I'm still on the fence...I've unfortunately had to handle a few dead animals in my time and I'm not sure. that puppy could merely be sick and not dead.
But I don't think you can see clearly in the video if it is flailing as it's flipping through the air...it's too pixelated.
and it might not flail. Unfortunately I had some supposed "friends" in college who (against my will) hiked my toy poodle puppy like a football through his legs an across the room to another guy who luckily caught my dog (or I would have killed him with my bare hands.) and my perfectly healthly pup didn't flail...he was completely still, apart form being all wide eyed and scared.
I don't have sound here either...other wise I might be able to recognize the yelping as a stock sound clip. but at this point I can't give an opinion on that.

here's a story I like much better about a marine and a dog...
Marine rescues desert dog in Iraq, finds new home
08:04 PM CST on Friday, February 22, 2008
The Associated Press
SAN DIEGO – It began with a simple act of kindness to save an abused, injured dog from becoming one more victim in the Iraq war.
But what followed for Marine Maj. Brian Dennis and the mutt was a tale of friendship and loyalty that spanned miles, borders, and overcame long odds – a tale that took a turn Friday afternoon when the dog arrived at San Diego's Lindbergh Field airport.
[Click image for a larger version] Brian Dennis
Brian Dennis
Marine Maj. Brian Dennis says goodbye to his adopted dog, Nubs, before the pooch heads off to his new home in California.
"This dog who had been through a lifetime of fighting, war, abuse ... is going to live the good life," Dennis told his family in an e-mail from Iraq.
The tale unfolded in October, a few months after Dennis deployed to Iraq from San Diego to work as part of the military team building infrastructure along the Syria-Iraq border and training Iraqi forces to take over.
Dennis, 36, of St. Pete Beach, Fla., had volunteered for the assignment. It was a departure from his role as a fighter pilot. He had seen the country from the air, but it was different on the ground.
Dennis wrote stories home about the reciprocal relationship that desert dogs, strays wandering outside border towns, had with Iraqis.
"The dogs get to eat the Iraqi scraps and have a home in the middle of the desert," he wrote in an e-mail. "The Iraqis get an incredible early warning system; these dogs hear anything approaching from miles away and go nuts and scramble to defend their territory."
While on patrol in the Anbar province, Dennis spotted what appeared to be a gray and white, male German shepherd-border collie mix. He named the dog Nubs after learning someone cut the ears off believing it would make the dog more aggressive and alert.
Within weeks, Nubs was greeting Dennis during routine patrol stops along border communities. The Marines fed him bits of their food and by November, the Marine and his unit were keeping an eye out for the dog, which routinely chased their Humvees when they departed.
Life on the run, however, was taking a toll on the dog. He had lost a tooth and been bitten in the neck. In late December, Dennis found Nubs near death in freezing temperatures. The dog had been stabbed with a screwdriver.
Dennis rubbed antibiotic cream on the wound and slept with Nubs to keep him warm.
"I really expected when I woke up for watch he would be dead," Dennis wrote. "Somehow he made it through the night."
Dennis thought he had seen the last of the dog days later when his squad headed back to its command post some 65 miles away. He couldn't take the dog with him and watched as it tried to follow the Humvees away from the border.
Two days later, while Dennis and a comrade were working on a Humvee, he looked up and saw the dog staring at him.
"Somehow that crazy damned dog tracked us," he wrote Jan. 9.
But the reunion was short lived. Military policy prohibits having pets in war zones, and Dennis was given four days to get the dog off the base or kill him.
The decision was easy: Nubs was going to San Diego. The logistics, though, were anything but easy.
With help from his Iraqi interpreter, Dennis managed to find a Jordanian veterinarian to get the care and paperwork needed to get the dog to the states. He also negotiated the red tape to get Nubs across the border into Jordan.
His family and close friends helped raise the $3,500 needed to get the dog from Amman, Jordan, to San Diego, said his mother, Marsha Cargo.
"I just can't believe it. Out there in the middle of nowhere these two find each other," Cargo said.
A colleague in San Diego agreed to care for the dog and have it trained until Dennis returns in March from Iraq.
"We anticipate a real steep learning curve for Nubs," Capt. Eric Sjoberg said. "We want him to learn to just be a dog."
For now, though, Dennis will settle for the knowledge that Nubs is finally safe – and waiting for his master to follow him.
there ya go. a Marine being nice to a dog. drop them sterotypes.

not a bit suprised. Although most of the prisoners there are insurgents who plan to set off IEDs that will inflict mass casualties or they may even kill people of their own culture.
It could be worse. We could be cutting their heads off with a dull knife while they're being captive. These soldiers go way overboard with the treatment though. You as a correctional officer should not be their punishment. The prison itself should be but I will tell you this. If I were to be a c.o. there, I would not treat those inmates nice at all but doing all that crap is ridiculous.
Thankfully, being that my friend is a leader of an exploitation team and knowing that his team only works on good leads from the locals, there isn't too many innocent people getting hauled off to Abu Gharib.
Still, this war sucks. We need to just go home so we don't have to read or watch all this bullshit but, it's not going to happen for a
long time.
