   Fuck this guy. This totally pisses me off and breaks my heart. First of all, this dude needs to face full punishment for this kind of cruelty. Second of all, this kind of behavior is not representative of the US military as a whole - but you can be guaranteed that some people will twist it to look that way.

   In short, support our troops, but not this bastard. He should be strung up for this bullshit.

   If this is real yeah totally this guy needs to be punished big time along with the guys that didn't stop him. But something also seems a little fishy about the video.

   I made myself watch it, but I'm crying now. I want to take him and do the same to him. The sad thing is, there will likely be no repercussions. He's abusing an animal in a foreign country. I doubt there are laws in place to stop that. But if there's such a thing as karma, he'll die a miserable and grisly death. I have to go cuddle with my dogs now.

   If it's that bad then I'll stay away from it. I'm in class and I was about to click on it but I just have a bad feeling about watching it.

    I felt that I should watch it. I don't know why. Maybe because I thought that the puppy's death shouldn't be ignored and forgotten. But I should have known better. I'm still heart-broken over it.

    Well, I viewed it and am highly pissed off. I checked this assholes Bebo profile and he is stationed in Hawaii. I am calling Hawaii right now and will be speaking to the base commander personally. This asshole is going down.

    I just called the base Provost Marshalls office in Hawaii, where this asshole is stationed. He does not deserve the title Marine! All links and related content have been handed over to them for investigation.

    hey, at least its not a human baby. the US Military have been doing much, much worse!

    i think this shows just how war and killing of humans and seeing their own friends getting blown up desensitizes impressionable teenagers to the point where this is just nothing. that's the message i get. a call for help.

    Dude, that is not the point. As a member of the marines, the army, the air force, or the navy, you are representing not only your military but your country. People abroad will see that video and it is a poor representation of the United States.

    As much as I am against war, it's really oversimplifying the matter to say that it's all the military's fault. An individual's psychoses are due to a complex interaction between biological (genetic) and environmental factors.

    such a cute dog does not deserve that, the marine does, but I do want to echo what others have said.

    Don't judge the US military by this one asshole's actions, I have a lot of friends who are in the service who are good, honest, caring people, its just sad we hear more about the assholes out there rather than the good ones.

    Mr.Fowler,
    Thank you for the e-mail. I had just found out about this. We are attempting to confirm who this person is, but obviously the behavior is deplorable, and does not keep in the high standing we expect as Marines.
    Thank you for your service and thanks for the information.

    @cGt2099

    So rumors are going around on youtube and digg that the video is fake. People are saying this in the sense of that the puppy was already dead and they added in the yelping after the puppy is thrown. Now this may be true but it doesn't make sense that they tied it's paws to together. But still whether or not the puppy is alive or dead this is not humane and is teaching people in general that abusing animals is ok.

    Anyways I'm glad to hear that this is being investigated and hopefully this soldier will be punished.

    @StandardsDT

    There seems to be some people who are believing the video to be a fake. Either way, even if it was faked, this is not the kind of behavior you'd expect from a Marine who is representing YOU out there.

    At any rate, I would rather it be faked than real. Either way, it still pisses me off.

    @cGt2099

    Exactly and hopefully the Marines will do an evaluation on this guy to see if he's mentally stable or not.

    The same goes for myself, I'd much rather it be fake. But still it makes me pissed and upset either way as well.

    People in todays world suck.

    I hope that he is punished to the full extent of the law. This effected me on multiple levels. 1. The poor puppy never deserved that. 2. How it makes our military look. 3. How it makes the US look to the world. I also want to say don't let this guy pull you down to his level.

    Let no man pull you low enough to hate him.
    Martin Luther King Jr.

    It's not only necessary to know how to go about loving your enemies, but also to go down into the question of why we should love our enemies. I think the first reason that we should love our enemies, and I think this was at the very center of Jesus' thinking, is this: that hate for hate only intensifies the existence of hate and evil in the universe. If I hit you and you hit me and I hit you back and you hit me back and go on, you see, that goes on ad infinitum. It just never ends. Somewhere somebody must have a little sense, and that's the strong person. The strong person is the person who can cut off the chain of hate, the chain of evil.
    Martin Luther King Jr.

    This guy is seriously pushing my beliefs to the limits and I can't say that I would not kick his ass if I saw him but I hope that I would not let him get the best of me.

    I saw this video last night and haven't stopped thinking of it since. It's so deeply disturbing and utterly wrenches my gut. Like Honest Ape, I wish I could unwatch it. I'd love to see this guy meet the same fate he doled out if this was definitely a real dog.

    Here is a story about it at the Herlald:
    http://heraldnet.com/article/20080303/NEWS01/367822819

    From off screen, someone says “That’s mean. That’s mean...” and then uses the Monroe man’s last name.

    A profile for a man with that name on Bebo.com, a social networking site, said he was a Marine serving in Iraq, but was expecting to be transferred to Hawaii. The site was taken down Monday afternoon.

    A man with the same name was a junior at Monroe High School in 2003 and graduated from the Monroe School District’s Leaders In Learning alternative high school program in June of 2004, according to district records.

    A woman at the home listed for the Marine declined to talk.

    “Could you just leave? We already know why you’re here,” the woman said. “Just go. There’s nothing to say.”

    This is just appalling! Nice way for the world to see the US yet again. These men are supposed to be representing America, yet they act like this.

    @SilentJay74
    I commend you for taking further action. Thank you!

    I love animals, but cant really understand why there are 45 comments on this story. Is it just somthing we can all get behind? i Read all the comments before I watched the video, and if the video is real then the soldier needs some serious help. But Im a little numb after reading the article about the man severing a toddlers head in a supermarket in Saudi Arabia over a dispute with the childs mom. Im not trying to be controversial or judgemental of those angry with what looks like a supreamly cruel act. The reaction just seems disproportionate to the human tragedies that occur every day in the news. I never see this kind of venom when one country or the another bomb a village and women and children die. Just an observation. I realize that all the above comments were made by people with very large hearts. Mines just a little shriveled from the fucked up world we live in.

    The problem is that this huy is representing the army... and he is laughing when he is throwing the puppy... This guy have a gun, and tomorow he can come and kill some kid, just for fun. I think he must be at hospital for mental diseases...

    Dude, I totally understand where you're coming from. There's really no way to categorize or prioritize one tragedy over another. Like you, I was also horrified by that news from Saudi Arabia. I'm also aware that countless people have died in Iraq and other war zones.

    Yet, the impact of this video to me is very strong. It's symbolic: the puppy is innoncence, and had no means by which it could defend itself, or run away. To me, animal cruelty is right up there with human cruelty. There's no need for such mindless abuse to any living creature on this planet.

    I soak up all these things. It makes me seethe with rage. I see what's going on in the world and it just makes me angrier and angrier as days go by. So I'm with you, and I can see where you're coming from completely.

    @cGt2099 and everyone else who responded to my comment:

    i didn't mean to sound insensitive. and i'm not blaming the military, i was blaming WAR itself.

    i agree with you that this is messed up and reflects bad on the US and the Marines and i'm proud of you guys for standing up to this, and thereby making news yourselves.

    keep up the good work.

    I watched (and subequently re-watched) the video, trying to tell if it is actually real or not. I still can't tell, since the pup in question doesn't move during the whole thing... but the noise is there (could have been added later).

    The real issue i have with this is the fact that the guy did it at all. Real or not, he and everyone else needs to be punished for this.

    I am so outraged by this
