Marine Expelled, Another Penalized for Iraq Puppy Video

HONOLULU  —  The Marine Corps is expelling one Marine and disciplining another for their roles in a video showing a Marine throwing a puppy off a cliff while on patrol in Iraq.   

The 17-second video posted on YouTube drew sharp condemnation from animal rights groups when it came to light in March.

The clip shows two Marines joking before one hurls the puppy into a rocky gully. A yelping sound is heard as it flips through the air.

Marine Corps Base Hawaii said in a news release Wednesday that Lance Cpl. David Motari received unspecified "non-judicial punishment" and "is being processed for separation" from the Marine Corps.

The second Marine, Sgt. Crismarvin Banez Encarnacion also received unspecified "non-judicial" punishment.

I'd still like to see if it wasen't faked, I'm suspicious. (still wrong as hell even if it was)

If he is guilty then he is lucky that all he drew was separation and probably extra duty and confinement to barricks.

So far, I haven't found an announcement of any kind regarding whether the incident was faked or not.  I'm of the belief that, since they chose to expel him, then that video was more than likely real, unfortunately.  :(

My dad, a rabid animal lover and Marine, felt the same way. He got pissed at me for showing him the video.

Whether this is fake or real, David Motari is an idiot. David Motari is getting the harassment that befell Lori Drew and Wendy Portillo, two other scumbags.
