this dirty man not a hero he is only a devoid

That ruined my sunday morning, what was your point of puting this video on the forum? :evil:

what a turd. Such a great hero deserves a warm welcome home, douche'.

Hopefully someone in the Marine Corps has seen and reprimanded that turd. But then again the military kills dogs left and right in Afghanistan and Iraq from orders that start from typically higher up in the U.S Medical command. The dogs in these countries are not taken care of and are rife with sickness and disease. Don't get me wrong, I don't agree with killing them all, but they breed with abandon, are basically by and large all strays, and Muslims will not touch them because they think the creatures to filthy to touch according to the Quran. Nor will the locals do anything but complain about the large number of strays that live amongst the garbage and beg for hand outs. Hell the locals won't even clean up their own streets, trash from the B.C era is still being blown around the Middle East. So when the U.S moves in Soldiers and Marines like to adopt these mongrels for pets and feed them. Then the commanders see all the strays and put out orders to shoot on sight. But like any population of people you will always have your sicko's and turd bags. Look at the prison population in the U.S, very representative of all of the different communities. So the turd bags in the military sometimes turn up on video for all the world to see their callous treatment of others and lack of discipline, honor, or respect. Being a combat arms military man of 13 years and two time Iraq vet myself, that turd on the video is a very small percent of the population of U.S servicemen. And his battle buddy beside him was just as big a turd for not breaking the guys nose. By looking at their age and the way they purported themselves they are obviously young, immature, lower enlisted personnel who happened to be out of sight of their leadership while making that video. Regardless, don't judge the rest of us because of a couple of bad apples. Every family has bad apples and I think the military family has the fewest of any population.

I agree, we cant judge a whole on just a portion. I also agree that every military does it when they come into new lands, kill the dogs that keep the people safe. BUT, this is the UMPTEENTH video of our heroes tossing puppies, and having fun while torturing what they are killing before the deeds are carried out. That is crap!

No the U.S military does not kill dogs because they keep people safe. The U.S military exterminates dogs in their camps and outposts because strays are attracted by food and the more often than not kind Soldiers who feed and pet them. The dogs in these 3rd world and developing countries are the worst kept animals on the face of the earth in general and carry disease and sickness. That is why they are exterminated and the orders normally come down from Medical commands. On several camps I have seen a few of the very few Veterinarians the Army has in Iraq on their own initiative go to camps and vaccinate these animals so that they could live. However it is next to impossible because of the sheer number of stray dogs that are attracted to the camps and outposts. So the end result is a culling. As much as I hate to say it, it is for the best. If you have ever been to the Middle East, you would have to agree that the dog is considered the filthiest of beasts and scant care is given to them if any at all. And if the locals give any mind to the dogs around at all it is to mistreat them, tease them, or if the dog is lucky, kill them. Though I have seen a few very rare dog lovers in the middle east. These are most often more educated urban types that have a middle class or above existence. I have witnessed a couple of well taken care of GSD's in Baghdad and at least one gangster I knew kept a few vicious Dobies that he used to guard his small home compound. Baghdad ran the gamut though from the best to the absolute worst I have seen. Western Iraq on the other hand was pretty much all bad for dogs. There were more pet owners in the villages than in the city. With fairly big Anatolianish/Caucasian looking scatter breeds. I think they were kept more than anything as a poor mans alarm system. Their care was scant however and every dog I saw was in horrid condition. And since many of them were free to roam as they would, they were scarred from many turf battles. Every dog that I encountered were very fearful of people but would bark their head off if they seen you coming. And not one time did I ever see dogs used to herd. In the rural communities and even in Baghdad itself, there were many shepherds with goats. Once more I think it boils down to Islamists considering dogs to be the filthiest of creatures. Which is funny because that kind of thinking even penetrates the Christian communities there. The Christians hold on fervently to their way of life, but the Chaldean and Assyrian's close contact with their Muslim conquerors has left an indelible mark on their culture and psyche. Some of the Christians will not even eat pork due to Islamic influence, but most will and they love it! I wish I would've kept pictures of a dog that lived on my outpost. He was some kind of mixed breed GSD that was named Anson. I lived on an Iraqi Combat Outpost as a member of a small team of U.S advisers that lived and worked with the Iraqi Army. The Iraqi's at one time had tried to acquire GSD type of dogs to use as bomb sniffers. They even tried to get U.S military K9 personnel to train them and their handlers. Apparently the program for dog training washed out for whatever reason. And the dog Anson was a little on the man aggressive side. So the Iraqi Soldiers in their ignorance would tease the dog. Teasing the dog became a test of bravery for the Iraqi's. One Soldier would show how brave he was and show off for his companions by agitating the dog in some manner and running off when the dog had enough and committed to attack. When American advisers showed up to live and train the Iraqi's Anson took immediately to the U.S personnel. He associated our uniforms as people that would feed him and treat him kind. When my team arrived later on Anson stayed on our porch and would follow us out on foot patrols. He would follow us out into some of the nastiest and most hostile areas of Baghdad warning all stray dogs off along the way. Several of the Soldiers wanted to try and take the dog home as he was a great guard dog and wouldn't hesitate to warn and then full out attack a man. He was the size and build of a medium sized Mal. However luck never smiled on Anson. We ended up having to put Anson down to keep the peace between us and the Iraqi's. The Iraqi's hated Anson because Anson hated them and would warn them off or attack them if any Iraqi came close to our building. This caused a lot of frustration between our Soldiers and the Iraqi's. One time almost causing a fist fight between us and them over the dog. The Iraqi's threatened to kill the dog at the first opportunity and constantly argued, harassed, and threatened saying the dog had bitten another person every other day and wanting money for harm from the dog. All of this was really funny in a way because we knew that Iraqi's were lying. We knew they just wanted money, they wanted us to pay for the dog biting Iraqi Soldiers. The dog who was brought here, trained, and owned by the Iraqi Army :) Our medics even looked at the so called victims and exposed the lie, though I still took some small pleasure in informing the "victims" that we needed to give them at least 20 shots in the stomach or they would die from rabies. Of which they replied that they would be ok and no such thing was needed but wanted money for personal hardship and suffering....no more American T.V for these guys!!!! Regardless end result was that we had to kill the dog to keep the peace. They Iraqi's wouldn't let it rest and the situation was growing worse, when we killed the dog they were appeased. Sad but true. Ok enough of my stories.

This should be shown on the mainstream media so that people can see that guy! I can't believe the smile on that guy's face...

Just the kind of prick you want roaming around with an M16. Money back says this little pissant was pulling the wings off flies at preschool. Whats all the talk of war? This requires justification because he is a soldier?

Sick, yes. BUT- the wrong place for this post. Can this be moved?

or removed

We've had topics like this one before. Whether it is ignored or addressed, it's a very real and disturbingly common occurrence. There are plenty of videos of jackasses not worthy of wearing the US Army uniform torturing and killing dogs all over the web. The bottom line is that there are douchebags in every military of every country of the world and that our own is far from being exempt. However, due to the sensitivity of any topic regarding soldiers and the inherent tendency to slip into debates about war, government, politics and similar subjects, threads such as this one are not... shall we say welcome on MD. Not because they're not worth discussing, but because of this website's stand on matters pertaining to politics and other touchy subjects. While this video clip does involve dogs, it is more about the people involved and as such doesn't belong on MD. For now, I'm locking the thread and Gary can decide later whether he wants to remove it or let it stay locked as it stands.
