Comments on In 'Nam, We Burned Babies. In Iraq, We Throw Puppies

They need to focus on burning kids, I HATE CHILDREN!! You hear that you damn "Save the Children" freaks at Westlake? You hear that???? Grrrrrr!!!

Can't bring myself to watch it. If he reaaly did it, I hope he burns in hell forever.

Even if it's not "real" the fact that some a-hole thinks it's cool to do that in fun should spend a few days in the stockade getting electro torture to his testes, Abu-Gharib style.

Just sayin.

Though reports of puppy tossing are constant in and around the Iraq theater, everybody knows that it is the work of but a few low-level servicemen, and not the policy of the White House, the Department of Defense, the CIA, or the Independent Office of the Vice President of the United States. Thank you.

Why is it so hard to believe this is real? Soldiers kill people everyday.

I'll bet Dan Savage wishes that was a Pit Bull puppy.

That dog's looking pretty damn dead.

Still - not nice.

I don't know about Iraq specifically, but in the Third World dogs ain't worth shit, and in most Third World countries the guy would be doing the dog a favor.

Remember folks: Napalm sticks to kids.

It's fantastic to see what some of America's bravest do to bring us freedom.
I spent at least one afternoon expanding my horizons on the subject via Youtube.

Maybe this will be the whine heard round the world. We can watch dead bodies all day long because really how different is Iraq than any other slasher movie out there. But throwing puppies!! That is un-fucking acceptable. Really now, they have finally crossed the line!! Let’s pull out of that situation before the start putting firecrackers inside cats!

@7, agreed- looks pretty dead. Still, dude's a douche.

The point is that it takes a real peice of shit to not see the value in something as innocent as a puppy. All in all that is probably the least horrific thing that bastard has done in his life and in Iraq but this was caught on video. The commenters on this post obviously don't see the value to innocent life either. Only a sociopath would do that. He probably does worse to the children of Iraq. He shouldn't be allowed to come home. He should have to live out the rest of his days in that hell hole.

"intarweb"?

If that's not a typo (and based on the quality of Jonah's writing in The Paper, prolly not), then I'm linguistically intrigued. Jonah, please explain!
