Marine Throws Puppy Off A Cliff

(Warning: ... the title of this post should explain why...) sad

http://youtube.com/watch?v=oSzw0bc9FiY

"Marines Investigated for Cruelty to Puppy Youtube Video


A shocking video aired on the internet video site Youtube has been labeled as "Deplorable" and has prompted a full investigation into its authenticity and to bring justice to any U.S. Marine involved.

The video appears to show a U.S soldier pick up a puppy and throw it off of a cliff. Maj Perrine of the USMC Public Affairs office in Kaneohe Bay, Hawaii is commented saying "We do not tolerate this type of behavior and will take appropriate action."

The video clip has been viewed more than 145,000 times since being uploaded two days ago.

I heard about this and I refuse to watch the video. I don't understand how somone can do this. It IS important that we all know that stuff like this goes on.

Awful.

I mean what is it supposed to prove, that he's a psychopath? That's he's a better man?

I don't get random acts of cruelty. I just don't. AND I'm glad I don't.

maybe they were inspired by the movie 300 where the warriors throw away babies. Just kidding. They still haven't put out concrete details about who made the video, but it shouldn't be hard!

I dealt with a lot of crazy ass Marines when I was in it so this does not surprise me at all.

I find it interesting that with all the human rights violations perpetrated by U.S. army officials worldwide, the one that garners attention is one that's done to an animal.

Sorry Tom I won't watch the video.


But I will say.. Im sick of American soldiers acting this way. (I'm former military so I feel I should have an opinion).

It's one thing to carry out the orders of a twisted, selfish, barbaric commander in chief believing that you're protecting your country--it's quite another to conduct oneself in this manner like some type of animal.

Disgusting.

I dunno about that. If it's caught on video...no matter who the victim is...and the video is released the whole world watches and most of us are mortified at seeing things of this nature.

Didn't watch this video and have no plans to.

I guess it really doesn't matter if it was a marine that did this or a regular person, either way it's disgusting.

Initially I watched it assuming it was going to be some kind of hoax like the grandma kicking the baby or the numerous videos of people getting hit by busses, but unfortunately, it was real sad

Maybe not quite as bad as that... we feel compassion for helpless things in general...for instance if the marine was throwing babies or old people off the cliff... I am certain there would be just as much empathy...

True. If the marine threw a person off the cliff, let alone a baby, I'm sure it would be receiving more press than a puppy. In any of the three circumstances, its horrible.

I guess what I'm moreso getting at is the fact that there is this big of an uproar over footage of a puppy being killed (and don't get me wrong, I'm appalled over it, too), whereas so many other far worse atrocities are occurring around the world and receiving little to no attention, comparatively.

It's a problem with the media's (lack of) coverage of really important facts.

I agree, but with all the love that the services have gotten since all this mess kicked off, it just contradicts what we're supposed to stand for...the standards and ideals we're supposed to represent....

Like I said, if other videos of atrocities were posted on youtube people would be talking about it, more so than this story....trust me.

Fucking disgusting video.

At the same time I wonder if it's faked. The sound effects aren't very realistic, and the puppy didn't appear to move to at all.

However, even as a joke it's horrible. Absolutely horrible.

Ugh, feel sad now. sad
