Disgusting.

[kafrun]

WTF

I'm not even going to try and contemplate it..

[CTU2fan]

I know. I mean, it's a puppy. WTF is wrong with people?

The terrorists have really won now

talk about a hate crime

As horrible as this is, and it is -- it still pales in comparison to the horrors of war that many of these soldiers are submitted to.

I'm sorry, you don't think this is 10x worse than waterboarding, and deserves its own thread? We don't even know if waterboarding is torture yet, man! We need like, eight more congressional hearings.

Waterboardin' USA!

Canadiens,

You can't really compare the two. These soldiers joined the military voluntarily knowing full well that they could be sent to war and get injured or killed. They're trained to defend themselves and to kill the enemy. This innocent little puppy can't possibly defend itself or fight back against these soldiers. Our soldiers have seen and suffered awful things for sure, but they have a choice in the matter. This defenseless animal didn't, and those soldiers who participated in this despicable crime should be punished to the fullest extent allowed.

I hear Brian De Palma's new film about the incident "Redacted II: Play Dead!" is already in production and creating Oscar buzz.

Yes, human life cannot be compared to a dog.

And yet most of the soldiers will act honourably.

And this is key. 99% of our men and women would be disgusted and would never dream of doing such a thing, and we should honor them for putting their lives on the line.

Thanks for sharing that!!

After watching that
I won't be able to sleep until
every god damn puppy in Iraq
is dead! dead! dead!

[MadelynIris]

And if I'm made out to be a puppy hater in this thread

[MadelynIris]

Great points anitram and U2 democrat.

Let's hope the ratio of dog rescues (they've done a lot) is 100x greater than mistreatment.

I agree, yet the point is, these soldiers can defend themselves against attack. They can protect their life. This little puppy could not. In the scheme of things, yes, a human life is of far greater t value than that of an animal. That's not the point here. The point is the life of animal, which still has value, was taken for no reason other than some sick peoples' idea of a good time.

I wish a lot more of my fellow American citizens (I have dual citizenship) had that same attitude toward their country commiting torture, to be honest. It's despicable when it's an animal, but not when it's a brown guy.
