V_RocKs, I don't agree with what they did, at all. I'm sure several have killed innocent civilians, it's when you gun them down for no reason you will have consequences.
Killing a dog, I wouldn't really say that puts them on the same playing field as terrorist who blow themselves up and tries to kill as many people along with them.

Which reality is this? Yours or mine? as we chill at home, in a warm house, tv on, maybe eating popcorn and having a beer. Or.. is it their reality, the one that has them on 5 hours of hard sleep for months straight, getting shot at every few days, maybe had a few friends die, and it just being non-stop... and hell.
Is this the reality that says, I could die any second? or the one that says, my popcorn is ready?

And as a side note, i think its worse to throw a puppy off a cliff than shooting your fellow human being in the face who is your enemy in a war. Two completely different things.

You can call it mental illness if you want, it's different but close enough.
Maybe we are looking at a couple of front line boys, hell that dog could be food by dark if no one else drags it off to eat it first, like the owners.
I thought the Puppy was dead before it was tossed?

I couldn't agree more...
The military personal volunteer for service, but they are forced into most duties. The rest of the Americans, well.. Paris and Britney will be on at 6 and I will let ya know about the war afterwards.
