Completely heartless...Is this what happens when we send our young people to war? He should be disciplined...I wonder what happened to the puppy?

Monday March 3, 2008, 9:49 am
Isn't this "man" exposed to enough brutality in the military - is he that hardened to it do something so cruel and senseless? What a sick individual he must be - when you read other stories about soldiers and dogs in war zones that are uplifting we have to see something like this in the news. I hope he gets court marshalled and disgraces his family

Monday March 3, 2008, 10:46 am

Just the person you DON'T want your daughter to marry, live on your street or exist freely in society...he may be wearing a uniform, but he is NOT the true example of a REAL man or soldier. I pity that fool.

Monday March 3, 2008, 10:57 am
SOUNDS TO ME LIKE HE JOINED THE MILITARY TO KILL.I DO KNOW SOMEONE WHO HAD DONE JUST THAT.HE PLAYED SOOOOO MANY OF THOSE GAMES THAT HE WANTED TO KNOW WHAT IT WOULD FEEL LIKE TO ACTULLY KILL SOMEONE.HE KNEW HE COULDN'T DO IT HERE SO HE JOINED THE SERVICE.WELL I WAS SHOCKED.

WELL I HOPE IN TIME WE HEAR HE HAS BEEN ARRESTED FOR CRUELTY TO A PUPPY.

NOT all military members act like that. Let us not blame a Whole group of people for the acts of a portion.

Monday March 3, 2008, 10:57 am
I am absolutely disgusted by this. Beyond words. I can't tell what branch these idiots are, possibly Marines. My husband is in law enforcement with the Army, so I'll get his help and I will NOT STOP until these guys get in some serious hot freaking water over this, if they aren't already.

We got the garbage we created.

If you want a better Generation then you will have to willfully create it.

Don't let your military dictatorship pledge, allegiance and indoctrinate your children into becoming obedient, patriotic, faithful, MURDERERS.

Monday March 3, 2008, 12:40 pm
Blog: Graphic Material:Today a Puppy, Tomorrow a Baby?

All hairs on my body is still standing on end, my wife claims that I am ash-colored and have a halo of out-rage and shock. I knew many US soldiers are callous and indifferent to HUMAN life. But now I know that the American Military just has to be prevented from going anywhere in the world.

The hapless little puppy had absolutely no way of knowing what was about to happen to it, or to defend itself. You can see on the picture that it's in the position it would be if it's mother was carrying it to another location, a position of calm and surrender, as is the nature of very small puppies being grabbed by the scruff.

This grown man is about to do the indescribable cruel thing of throwing this little puppy over a cliff rim, some 90-100 feet into the stony rubble below, to die (hopefully instantaneously).

Then he turns to the camera and says "That was Meeeaaan!" with a wide grin.

What will it be next to entertain this piece of human offal? A human baby? A woman? Perhaps an "insurgent"?

Please sign the petition. These Soldiers need to be STOPPED and sent home to the US in dishonor.

uhh that dogs not moving, breathing, waging it's tail, barking - and stays in one position the whole time even when thrown - a) it's already dead - or a ceramic or clay replica (some sort of nick knack or doorstop) and these guys aren't the least bit angry - or macho acting, and clearly imitating the dog bark - because the volume of the whimpers stays the same - even though the possibly fake dog is traveling away from the mic. I think this just might be a bad "goof" a poorly imitated "Letterman" type sketch - it looks like a fake to me - be that as it may it's still in poor taste -

Monday March 3, 2008, 1:37 pm
that's one stupid moron. The military will make him pay for it too. Believe me. His career will be over . Off to Levenworth Prison he goes!!!!!

Monday March 3, 2008, 1:43 pm
I looked at the video again - it looks like rigor mortise is already set in - this puppy has been dead a long time - still it's in horribly bad taste - and they should have just buried the poor pup.

cruel b******d he should face animal cruelty charges and be discharged from the army. i disagree with that it looks fake. as from my knowledge if you hold any animal they way he did it put the animal in a relaxed defence. its how the female animals hold there young. anyone who hurts a animal should be locked up for life. in my mind animals are more worthy the humans will ever be

I am beyond angry to see this outright cruelty. It's like some sort of sick entertainment to this bast*rd! This killer would do it to a small child if he could! Only pure evil/hate that allows someone to do something like this. What in the hell is going on over there? This has to stop and the soldiers need to be arrested and removed from their position. From a moral standpoint, this makes the US look even WORSE. An ethically correct justification for this horror does not exist. What is the goverment going to do? I'm sure this will be covered up... if possible. The corrupt & broken politics that we call 'our government' know that this country's citizens would not want this! YouTube has quickly removed the videos as far as I can tell. If anyone knows how to find them, please post me! People need to know about this and those 'sodiers'

Obviously worthless garbage on the goverment payroll. I believe they should be thrown off the cliff. There is no reason to waste more taxpayer dollars convicting them of murdering that poor puppy and housing them in jail. An eye for an eye, that's true justice.

Tuesday March 4, 2008, 4:08 am
This is discusting. An INNOCENT DEFENCELESS puppy is ditched like its a cricket ball, it is PATHETIC and these soldiers are proud of it and capturing it on camera. It isnt "strong" or "manly" to do that stuff. They are ment to be protecting the country and they are often honoured and this is the stuff they do and hope people never find out! They wouldnt do this at home so why do it somewhere else, there is no excuse! These people should be punished and made an example of!

That Marien needs help. That is the most disgusting and disturbing thing I have ever seen. I wake up to watch the news and here that a Marien has thrown a puppy in the air for fun. He has some issues that he needs to deal with. I hope that he is reprimanded for what he has done. A discharge would be fitting. We do not want someone that is defending our country to act in the manner this solder has.

What this Marine did is Conduct Unbecoming and is a Courts Martial offense. He'll likely get discharged. That being said, it's too bad all the energy going to a faked video isn't channeled to your Congressional representatives for the nearly 4000 lives lost in Iraq and Afghanistan, many of whom were Marines. How about speaking out for a human being lost in combat.

Tuesday March 4, 2008, 9:52 am
I am concerned this video is being erased from the media before too many people see it. I hope it isn't being swept under the rug-it speaks to the mentality of some people who represent US in this world. GOOD men are being lost (Ron, I don't think anyone is ignoring that, but many innocent lives have no one to speak for them.), and I don't want a good soldiers' image tarnished by some waste-of-skin idiots. It's taken me a day to get past the sickness and disgust of the images and say something that doesn't include cusswords. I hope the pups death was instant, and I hope the sub-humans involved in the video are dealt with severely. Our country and any innocents harmed deserves no less.

WTF?! Studies show that the majority of serial-killers are white and started "practicing" on small, innocent animals. I would bet 10 to 1 that this isn't the first time that he's done this whether it be over there or here, state-side. I believe that because he was in uniform while committing this atrocity he should be charged with Federal animal cruelty and Dishonorably Discharged from the military. Ideally though, I hope he catches an insurgents bullet to the head along with his "cronies" who watched, allowed to happen, videotaped and posted this disgusting clip. May he NEVER REST in pieces.

Tuesday March 4, 2008, 2:37 pm
absurd.....the worst part of it, is he wont be discharged for it, and probably wont even see a court martial, at the most he will see mass, loose some rank and pay. In reality he should be court martial, discharged, and then criminally prosecuted, or even better, he'll be killed in Iraq by a gun man.......one could only hope.

Tuesday March 4, 2008, 3:15 pm
Sadly this is just one of many video's that have been brought to our attention over the years - today - another was sent to me here of our soldiers blowing up a dog -:( These animals could be their companions, their BEST FRIENDS during these seemingly difficult times - do they not see enough pain and suffering and DEATH - what is happening to make them so cold hearted and cruel. Something needs to be done, they need to be held accountable for their actions ! They certainly need to be immediately dismissed, charged with animal cruelty and be sent to a lockup medical facility ! Yes there are amazing stories of soldiers bringing home their animal companions - thank goodness but where were the brave ones who would stand up to these guys and stop them from hurting and killing these innocent animal victims of war !

Tuesday March 4, 2008, 3:47 pm
i hope they play that video in his hometown and it follows his butt all the dayz of his wretched and cruel life.A dishonorable discharge is a must ,and before he leaves there they should make him go find that poor lil puppy or others like it and look after them until he leaves.as another poster says he probably only joined to kill things.there is no excuse 4 that type of cruelity.it would have been better to put a bullet in its head then to throw it as the dimwit did.

I feel these (its too good to call them Soldiers) barbarick nothings should be Court Martialed & a tatoo on there face claiming they did this...they were probably killers before they went into the military.... just plain sick ... & to think they are over there to show care to all.... what a laugh

Tuesday March 4, 2008, 4:31 pm
Unfortunately, our military has the same proportionate amount of scum as does our society as a whole. The majority of our military personnel are decent individuals who would be as upset by this individual's actions as we are. I agree that this soldier deserves some type of punishment. Anyone who would do this to an animal is only one step away from doing it to a child. Stop him before it is too late.

The petition site won't let me submit my signature (the submit button doesn't work). What's up with that?

Tuesday March 4, 2008, 5:08 pm
Coming in late, I haven't seen the unedited video, but my imagination easily fills in the missing parts. Another heartbreaking and infuriating video of US military personnel abusing an animal; I immediately thought of the 2-legged dog who was tormented by a couple of GIs. After about a week of chest beating, did anyone ever hear anymore about that case?

To S.O.B. Cubsaver, I am equally dismayed that you would lump all US military personnel in one category: "I knew many US soldiers are callous and indifferent to HUMAN life. But now I know that the American Military just has to be prevented from going anywhere in the world." Are you naive or simply ignorant? One cannot possibly categorize an entire group in such a narrow fashion. Otherwise, the world would have a view of all Londoners are Jack the Ripper, or all Germans as murdering Nazi SS. Look at any international news website or animal rescue site and you will see thousands of instances of horrific animal abuse throughout the world. We have petitions here against Chinese killing dogs and cats, Japanese killing dolphins and whales, Africans killing elephants, gorillas, tigers, etc., and on and on and on. Please do not judge lest ye be judged.

Tuesday March 4, 2008, 5:10 pm
And what about Canadians, S.O.B. Cubsaver?? For God's sake, don't let those vile Canadians get loose!

Tuesday March 4, 2008, 5:14 pm
I am so outraged. All I want to do is go over there and throw that coward off the cliff. I have read several stories of Soldiers bringing dogs back to the States to save them. Thanks to idiot mindless cowards like these, all the Soldiers who give a damn will also be hurt by this. I come from a family of Marines, so I want to say GodBless the Marine (any soldier) Manly and strong enough to withstand the horrors of true combat & still be gentle enough to love and rescue animals. And may one of those true Marines find these cowards and knock the ---- out of them. I've already sent this to my friends on myspace. The Memorial War Dogs site. I'm counting on them screaming from the inside of the military just as loud as we are screaming outside.

Deceased soldier's dogs flown from Iraq to Mich.
By Natasha Robinson, Associated Press
GROSSE POINTE FARMS, Mich. — The family of Peter Neesley had one wish to fulfill after the Army sergeant died in Baghdad on Christmas Day.
They yearned to retrieve two stray dogs that he had taken in, and cared for. He was attached to them, and expressed in e-mails and phone calls how he wanted to bring them home to Michigan.

For weeks, the family has fought to have at least that part of Peter's life given back to them.

On Friday afternoon, their wish came true.

As Mama, a black Labrador mix, and Boris, her white-and-brown spotted puppy, hopped out of a minivan, the family ran and knelt in the wet streets to greet them.

FIND MORE STORIES IN: Iraq | Baghdad | Michigan | Army | Christmas Day | Peter | Mama | Dogs | Neesley | Rich Crook
Peter Neesley's sister, Carey, cried.

"It's been such a long, complicated struggle and to see them finally come home is just amazing," she said.

Neesley said things hadn't been normal since the family learned that her 28-year-old brother had died in his sleep.

The dogs were picked up in Baghdad this week by Rich Crook, a rapid response manager for the Utah-based Best Friends Animal Society, which helped arrange the animals' transport after learning about them from media reports. Gryphon Holdings LLC, an American-owned airline with service to Iraq, agreed to fly the dogs from Baghdad to Kuwait City.

While Neesley's fellow soldiers cared for Mama and Boris, a veterinarian with the Iraqi Society for Animals vaccinated the dogs and arranged for the health certificates allowing them to travel to the United States. Crook and the dogs arrived in Washington D.C. on Thursday and drove to the Grosse Pointe Farms home of Neesley's mother, capping a four-week transfer that involved elected officials.

Much of the family, including an aunt of Peter's who flew in from New Jersey, gathered at the home. A banner welcoming Mama and Boris hung outside of the brick house with red, white and blue balloons tied to a bannister.

"There were times when we would have a roadblock and then all of a sudden it would open up, so we knew we were on the right track," Crook said.

Carey's son, Patrick, looked at Peter as a father figure and was excited about having the dogs home. Later in the afternoon, one of his best friends called to see if he could come over and play with Patrick and the dogs.

"Patrick, when we started this a few weeks ago, said he just wanted to love them and hold them and take care of them and all of that," said Peter's aunt, Julie Dean. "It's going to be tremendous comfort for the family."

Carey says the family doesn't have any major plans for the new pets.

"We're just going to love them, work on housebreaking, and that kind of stuff," she said. She's still waiting for it all to sink in.

"I think it's going to be more of a reality as the days go on and we kinda come back to normal," she said.

Dog walks 70 miles through war zone to find his master
IRAQ -- Their friendship began half way across the world in Iraq, when St. Petersburg native Major Brian Dennis encountered a mixed breed dog in Anbar Province. The dog had been savagely abused and his ears cut off.

The marine decided to call him Nubbs.

In e-mails to his mother, Marsha Cargo in Tierra Verde, Major Dennis wrote how he was "dumbfounded" when he learned Nubbs' ears were cut off purposely by an Iraqi to make him tough and more alert. Nubbs, he said, was ordained a fighting dog.

Four months passed, and the bond between man and his four legged friend grew. Nubbs, was dealt severe blows in his short life, including being stabbed by a screwdriver. The major shared his distress with mother.

“He tried sleeping with him that night because it was 18 degree temperature and he was afraid he was not going to live through the night. So out of his back pack, he took Neosporin and covered the wound,” Cargo said.

Major Dennis nursed Nubbs back to health...and here is where this friendship takes a remarkable turn: Major Dennis was ordered to move his squadron 70 miles away. He complied.


His mother shared her son's surprise of a lifetime, “Two days later he was out there working on a vehicle in the front yard and all of a sudden here comes Nubbs. He had tracked Brian 70 miles across the desert in 18 degree temperature while being wounded.”

Despite strict rules, Major Dennis wrote to his mother, he had to help this dog. "I won't even address the gauntlet. He had to run off a pack of dogs, wolves and god knows what else to get here...when he arrived he looked like he had been through a war zone," Dennis wrote.

Weeks went by, and Nubbs was dealt another blow,

“Someone told on them that they had the dog and they had 4 days to get rid of him or Nubbs was going to be shot,” Cargo said.

That’s when the Marine made it his mission to get Nubbs to safety. He wrote, “Nubbs was going to America, this dog had been through a lifetime of fighting war, abuse, and had tracked our team over 70 miles of harsh desert (and) was going to live the good life."

The major started an e-mail campaign that crisscrossed continents. Within two days there was three thousand dollars to bring Nubbs home.

“The hardest part was getting him across the Jordanian border,” Cargo told us.

But, in keeping with the rest of this story, the duo defied the odds. Major Dennis was able to get Nubbs into Jordan. A family here in The U.S. will take care of him there until these friends can be reunited.

“I almost feel like Brian is his guardian angel and maybe he is Brian's guardian angel,” Cargo said.

How very sad and disturbing. I do hope this soldier (as well as the others with him that participated) is punished without mercy. Individuals that do things like this are demented and sick-in DIRE need of professional help. Another thing that comes to mind is "what comes around, goes around." I would love to be a witness to that!

I really hope they were able to get in touch with this "Marine's" CO. I haven't had much luck on my end, but I'm still pressing. I'm actually meeting with a CID SA from the Army tomorrow to get his take on it. Even if this video IS fake or the puppy was already dead, doesn't matter. He needs to answer for this.

This isn't how we represent America.I hope he gets court marshalled.

UNBELIEVABLE. WHAT A DISGRACE TO OUR COUNTRY!
If I ever met these "soldiers" I would ask them "why?"
How can people be so heartless? This is an example of pure evil.
What the f*ck is wrong with people? Today has been a hard day with bad animal news and my heart feels broken. I'm fighting tears thinking about all the other atrocities that the public will never even know about.

These "soldiers" think they are "big men" for abusing a helpless animal. I think they are pathetic and embarassing. I hope their families and friends see this video. DISGUSTING.

DID SOMEONE SAY "COMPENSATING?"

Tuesday March 4, 2008, 8:17 pm
What a sick excuse for a human. And to tape it? Just sickening. I hope he gets what is coming to him in this world and the next! Let's see how much he laughs when he has to explain his behavior when and if he returns home, his family has to live with knowing their son is a National and World wide embarrassment as well as disturbingly cruel, and what his Commanders have to say about it.

Noted, also, I am an ex-soldier and these men DO NOT represent the MAJORITY of our military.

Tuesday March 4, 2008, 9:23 pm
I am speechless

Tuesday March 4, 2008, 9:25 pm
Please tell me that wasn't real

Tuesday March 4, 2008, 9:43 pm
my heart just got broken. I am sickened. At least that other solider said his name- i hope the military throws the book at him and all his buddies- they ALL deserve to be thrown in jail and kicked out of the military with a dishonorable discharge!
I hope they show the video to their families to shame them and humilate them to their core.
I am so mad that i want to throw him off a cliff!

The greatest animal story from the WW2 was the rescue of the Lippizan stallions and mares and foals, the great cowboy roundup and drive to new safe quarters. Now here we have 2 or 3 bad apples who have besmurched the reputation of all. Better to contend with the few in full view of the world than have the whole world look in askance to the authorities for justice of the whole.

Tuesday March 4, 2008, 11:06 pm
This is outrageous and criminal behavior. The involved soldier must be investigated and should be charged and receive psychiatric evaluation and counseling. Even if the video turns out to be staged with other than a live puppy, it is dishonorable and has brought disrespect upon the U.S. Military throughout the world.

I would suggest contacting the network news and asking them to continue to investigate and report on this incident. With continued news coverage, hopefully this case will not be disregarded by the military and government.

Here are some contact links and email addresses of the network news:

ABC News: http://abcnews.go.com/Site/page?id=3052660

CBS News: http://www.cbsnews.com/ and click on the "Contact Us" link at the bottom of the page which brings up a feedback form

NBC News: Nightly@NBC.com

Fox News: yourcomments@foxnews.com

CNN News: http://www.cnn.com/exchange/ireports/topics/forms/breaking.news.html

Thanks for taking action against this behavior!

I don't think there is therapy that helps or changes sociopaths like this. It's still something to do, though. I wouldn't rely on it, is all.
It's good to read the positive stories after seeing this behavior, thanks for posting them. I'm writing to the contacts listed.

Stinking, lousy excuse for a human being! I hope they don't let this go and he gets what he deserves.

Wednesday March 5, 2008, 12:40 am
This is a despicable act for anyone to commit. Worse, being a Marine, who should keep decorum at all times. He seems to have a sadistic streak. Would think that he needs a ""psych eval". One can only wonder what he has done when not in front of a video cam.... Twisted individuals like this cause a lot of bad PR for the rest of the military members who are doing their service with pride.
