Is this what we train our soldiers for?

March 4, 2008

I’m rather ashamed of what our soldiers are doing these days. I support them when they’re fighting for us and whatnot, but c’mon…are you THAT bored that you need to result in killing of innocent animals? I’m talking about the YouTube video that’s been circulating around the Internet of two stupid soldiers (based in Hawaii) who filmed themselves holding a small adorable puppy and then this one idiot hurls the poor canine over a CLIFF and the last sounds you hear are the puppy yelping! It’s absolutely horrible…and all that the news has to report is that the army is going to investigate and if they’re charged, they could be discharged from the military, face a court-martial, or be demoted in rank? Are these things actually going to solve anything?

Obviously they’re guilty because the dumb soldier at the end didn’t even care that he killed an innocent animal. We’re not supposed to be fighting the animals. I thought we’re there to stop Saddam Hussein and defeat the insurgency. If President Bush thinks that our troops don’t have anything to do to quell the violence and bring reconciliation to the land then we should get the hell outta there and let our troops come home where they can find something more productive to do with their time.

I’m absolutely shocked by this and can’t believe that Americans would do such a thing. I’ve always thought that our soldiers were supposed to live a life of morality and something to respect and look up to, but apparently the military is letting anyone in who would kill innocent creatures and bring shame to us. I don’ t know what else to say about this but it’s absolutely gut-wrenching and I’m ashamed of it…
