Won't anyone think of the puppies?

[VINMAN]

I would have given those $cumbags a rifle butt right to the back of the head! Sick fuchers!
I agree with Moses. What makes anyone think they are fake? Even if that was a flashbang, it was still close enough to kill the dog.

[Jeff Higgins]

It's hard to say if the dog is fake or not. Even if it's fake (and I sincerely hope it is), it's not hard to guess the status of the soldiers. They are most certainly fake. Fake humans. I wonder if their mothers have seen this?

I am more disturbed by the fact that some Americans would choose to parade these atrocities around on the internet to further destroy support for the efforts of our military.

I'm more disturbed that you would try to hide it to save face.

While I do not agree with a lot of your positions on things I've always thought you had a pretty good moral compass and respected that.

And lets not forget which Americans started the parade.

The same a55hats that shot the video.

Wow, talk about a frenzy. It's fake. Let it go.

How do you know its fake? I normally look on snopes for this type of stuff but cant find anything.

[ZOA NOM]

I watched it. It's obviously a stuffed animal. What's sad is how quickly some people will believe it and vilify the entire Armed Forces.

I wouldn't say I tried to hide it. I would say that your kneejerk somewhat hostile reaction is exactly the reaction that those who post this crap is looking for.

That's the one thing it's NOT.

I don't think it's a stuffed animal, but the video is, at best, very inconclusive as to whether it was a living dog or not. If I had to fathom a guess, I'd say it was a puppy which was already dead.

When you pick up (live) puppies by the neck, their hind legs flex and their front legs extend. It's a reflex. Hard for a dead puppy to do that.

I am thoroughly disgusted.

I'll say it again. The puppy video IS A FAKE.

My kneejerk reaction was to a guy who tossed a puppy into a ravine. Not to a soldier.

Whether the puppy is alive, dead, real, stuffed is irrelevant.

They wanted the viewer to believe it was real.

It is sadistic plain and simple.

And if it turns out that this is truly an American soldier then he is an idiot for
a) doing it
b) video taping it
c) leaving it unguarded so those hand wringing libs could find it and post it on the net and thoroughly undermine the entire US military

You're in denial. The dog may have been dead to begin with, but REAL! You can see the weight of the dog as is sways when he's holding it. I truely hope you're right, but it looks too real to just quickly dissmiss as fake.

But it's also too unclear to just quickly accept as real.

Man if you think WE are upset by this..go here and read the comments: http://federalism.typepad.com/crime_federalism/2008/03/david-motari-ab.html

Even if the puppy were dead that hardly makes it okay. The person who made the video obviously intended the viewer to belive that the puppy was alive. In my opinion its more than just a little sick. I hope it is fake.

[Buckterrier]

I still haven't watched it but from the comments it's TOTALLY OFFENSIVE to me. Doing whatever is being done to the dog is not offensive while a bare breast is? Now that is truely comical.
