*** the authenticity of this has not been verified - it could be a fake ***

One DU'er already pointed out that you can clearly hear the Doppler shift - so it is probably real

2. If real the fucker is a psycho who should never be allowed to handle a bb gun, let alone serve.
Could be a fake I concur.

6. Still a disgusting and repugnant act, but it looks dead already
before he threw it.

7. Those guys should be severely reprimanded
Edited on Mon Mar-03-08 10:09 AM by tomeboy
whether the dog was dead or it's a hoax.

The fact that they filmed this and it ended up on youtube is reason enough.

How's that "winning hearts and minds" thing working out over there fellahs?

I wonder how many suicide bombers this clip is going to recruit?! Way to go!

Now they don't just hate us for our freedoms, :eyes: but for killing puppies too!

5. I won't watch it
but I know when my husband was in Iraq, he would talk about the soldiers adopting stray puppies or kittens. There would be one of those sick individuals once in a while that would torture and kill the animal for no reason. It really brought down morale and sickened the other soldiers.

But there are civilians in the US that torture animals, too. It isn't just something a few sick soldiers do.

8. There was a story of parents who had two of their son's adopted stray dogs flown
from Iraq to US, after their son died. One man's treasure is another man's garbage. :mad:

10. I felt like I was going to faint when I watched this.
I`m glad i was sitting down, but I still feel "lightheaded". That kind of cruelty is beyond belief. I can only pray that "our troops" did not really do this. God, this makes me sick. What the hell is coming back from Iraq, if this is true??

11. well, when you are so desperate to fill recruitment numbers that
you lower the psych standards and grant all kinds of waivers to allow these kinds into the ranks of, what is otherwise, a respectable honorable military this is what you get. Heck of a job Rummey, Gates, et al!!!!!..........BASTARDS! :mad: :grr:

15. This is why I am NOT buying this "they are the greatest American" bullshit....
I wore a uniform. I fought in a worthless war on behalf of this country. I saw my friends die and get mutilated for nothing...just like this stinking mess we are in now.

But to suggest that all of those who wear the uniform are worthy of our respect totally blows me away. Many are thugs and criminals who disgrace the uniform they wear.

This clown and his friends are a few that fit that description. They are a shame to this country.

I salute my military persons "one at a time", depending on who they are, not by what they wear.

17. I would give the benefit of the doubt and look atit from the other side of the coin
and say that "many" are honorable and decent, and a few are recalcitrant thugs, just as we can find in any segment of society. Not the other way around.

16. AUTHENTIC OR NOT
obviously we are "in tune" enough to believe that if THIS is a hoax, it is not an impossibility

LOOK FOR 150,000 TROOPS COMING HOME SOON TO THE PARKING LOTS AND OFFRAMPS OF AMERICA...

congrats mr bush

I don't think the poor little thing is alive to begin with. It's still sick humor.

20. You can hear the doppler shift in the dog's screams.
This is not fake. This is life in places in Iraq where members of the military have lost their fucking minds and humanity.

Fuck that soldier and fuck Bush for making him into what he is today.

No free pass for that fucker. and the people filming it if they have not turned in that video to the military. This needs to be identified and reported to the military ASAP. If he tortures dogs he will likely torture humans next. He needs to be tossed to the most rotten brig in Iraq and held there till he is flown back for his court martial.

This kind of shit spreads in the military. It must be severely punished or it can grow.

Iraq is turning these men into monsters.

25. I watched it several times to and you can tell that the dog is alive
if the dog were dead his hind legs would have been hanging lower and more distended. They are pulled up. Also if you look closely as he is drawing back to throw you can see the dog's mouth slightly open....not hanging.

There is life in that body.....and probably still after it was thrown too......left to suffer and die slowly.

23. This video has gone viral on Digg, Reddit...
Poor bastard has been (supposedly) ID'd by the kids over at Digg. They're bombarding his blog with death threats, posting his name, address and phone all over the internet. Links to his family members are getting hammered too. Nasty mob justice stuff (if they even have the right guy) that, despite my anger over his actions, is truly unsettling.

26. Poor bastard?
That "Poor Bastard" may have cost the lives of additional soldiers by giving terrorists more ammo to use. He cost some of morality of America.

Do not feel for him. Report him to the military and ask for a press conference.
