Marine Corps Base Hawaii is investigating a shocking video of a smiling Marine throwing a puppy off the top of a steep hillside in Iraq into a gully below.
The video today gained widespread attention and condemnation on the Internet.
"The video is shocking and deplorable and is contrary to the high standards we expect of every Marine," the Kane'ohe Bay base said in a release.
Base officials said the video came to their attention this morning. An investigation has been initiated. Maj. Chris Perrine, a Marine spokesman here, said "it's looking like" the Marine is based out of Hawai'i.
"We do not tolerate this type of behavior and will take appropriate action," the base said.

This guy is ****ED.
Outrage on both sides over the alleged abuse of the puppy. Okay. But that's not the reason I posted this.
not tolerated for puppies, tolerated for Iraqis

Imagine what people like that have been doing to Iraqi families!

Their contempt for our troops is far more disgusting to me than the abuse of a puppy. Flame me if you want.

No flames. Believe me, from a DUmmy standpoint this has much less to do with the unfortunate puppy's fate than it does with having one more convenient reason to bash the military. If it had been any other schmuck off the street (and there are plenty of animal abuse videos on the net) it would have gotten barely a mention at The Hive.

Regardless of whether the video was faked or not, the Marine who did this is an asshole (I'd use more colorful language here if it was indeed true), but the DUmmies never stop to disparage the United States armed forces. One Marine (seemingly) throws a puppy over a cliff, then they ALL must do it.. right, DUmmies?? :bird:

Okay, good, we'll hopefully find out once and for all what happened, and hopefully, those Marines get what they deserve. :hammer:
Once again, we see the DUmmies take advantage of an already despicable situation to bash the rest of the troops. Business as usual at the DUmp. :bird:

Indeed. regardless of how this turns out fake, real, alive or dead, it was still in very poor taste and needs to be addressed.
