There''s nothing lower in life than someone who harms children, the elderly and helpless animals.

that''s about as low as you can go, harming an animal or a child, and I''m glad it was taken down before i saw it.
And you can bet a year''s pay he beats his girlfriend or wife.

Oh please, that''s BS. The marine threw a puppy off a cliff, what shoes do you have to walk in to realize that was a useless, cruel, ignorant thing to do. You really support those kinds of actions from the military? What next, you gonna support them shooting women and children? Guess we have to walk in their shoes to see that killing civilians is wrong too huh.

"Iraqi dogs, like Iraqi people, are the ENEMY. All this Marine did was KILL THE ENEMY...

Which, last time I checked, was the JOB of the Marines.

This is a sad day indeed, when the USMC fires one of its own for doing what they trained him to do.

You''re kidding right? It''s the job of the marine corps to kill civilians and animals? Do you really think that way? I hope you''re being sarcastic and not just stupid.

Are you out of your friggin mind? It was a poor, dumb animal that had nothing but the misfortune to be in the wrong place at the wrong time when that sadistic SOB happened along. I read they had dropped standards in the armed services to meet their recruitment goals but I never would have believed they dropped them so low.

I have two dogs of my own, and I was sickened by that video. That poor little puppy KNEW that something bad would happen. Those Marines are a disgrace to The Corps, period. Every twisted sicko back here in the States who viewed that video got the idea that it''s okay to abuse animals because the Marines were doing it. So for that reason those guys should be thrown out - they have tarnished the image of the Marines.

The real point here is we need to stop the war so nobody gets killed by Marines in Iraq.

DAVICAR2 someone needs to chop your head off and fee it to a dog. I agree anyone who can harm an animal deserves severe punishment! Anyone who can harm an animal is able to harm another person just the same

Why the name change? Did GOP_Soccer_Mom get banned? Too bad so many people couldn''t see the satire in those humorous posts. I, for one, got a chuckle out of every post.

wow, imagine what punishment they would receive if they had killed a human being... ........I don''''''''t think any of the soldiers involved in the killings of civilian women and children have been expelled, so I guess we know now that a puppy is more important than an Iraqie child.

Please send me the documentation/pictures of US military members killing innocent Iraqi civilians. I am in a position to investigate and bring them to justice, but I need to see the proof and be able to identify the service members involved.

The reason the puppy video draws so much outrage is because most dogs do not fire on our forces. If the insurgents could do no more than bite us, we might have a different attitude towards them, as well. Whatever your feelings in regards to the species of the victim, regulations prohibit handling stray animals anywhere in the Middle-East Theater. Therefore, these Marines were in violation whether they threw the puppy off a cliff or stopped to pet it.

GOOD! it''s about time!
Now there''s about half a dozen (at least) of similar videos ALSO filmed over there of US troops abusing animals- including one who shot a dog at close range several times, taking his time while commenting about it to his buddies in a jovial fashion.

I agree with dobbershome. The idiot should be court martialed and given a dishonorable discharge. He''s a disgrace to the uniform.

[I''''m glad to finally see the gov''''t admit it was a real puppy...The really bad thing is how this story was killed by our gov''''t. and I''''m surprised to see anymore about it.]

where did they admit it was a real puppy? it doesn''t look like they''re admitting anything other than:

"The actions seen in the Internet video are contrary to the high standards we expect of every Marine and will not be tolerated," Marine Corps Base Hawaii said in a news release
