unbelievably cruel.

This is beyond belief how someone could do this. A US serviceman (or possibly a contractor) disgraced his uniform by video taping himself throwing an 8week old puppy over a cliff while on duty in Iraq.

I guess the video was removed.
There is no reason for such cruelty, I hope he is brought up on charges and expelled from the Army..........I'm just in shock......
The news is suggesting he's been identified. The marine base where he is stationed is not happy about that video and has suggested he will be prosecuted.
I'm still in shock......I cant get over it........I'm sorry I watched....I hope they nail him to the wall. I wonder how much of that goes on that ISNT video taped??? I feel ill.........
Looks real to me.

I thought the same, I wished I could reach through the screen and touch the POS I would like to throw him off a cliff, sorry just hit a nerve he just thought he was so cool with that stupid smile and remark he doesn't deserve that uniform
That is horrible!! I hope it turns out to be fake as others have suggested.
Even if it is faked, the idea and sentiment are still real. He's a complete scum bag.

It sure looked real to me.
I agree wet dog, real or fake, the absolute lack of human decency is absent......I like dogs so much better than people most of the time, its actions like this that reinforce my belief that between dogs and humans.....dogs are the better of us all.....dogs are not evil or mean
Yes I agree with you Wetdog, I was just hoping for the sake of the puppy that it turns out to be fake and the pup was unharmed. The person who threw it is also in my opinion a total jacka**.
I second what everyone else has said already. If this was, in fact, a real puppy that was tossed, the guy who threw the puppy, as well as the two morons with him (the one with the camera and the one we see in one of the shots), need to be prosecuted. Cruelty to animals, by the way, is an offense punishable under the UCMJ.

These guys are not soldiers, they are Marines.
I was going to watch it, but then thought better of it.
It says in the beginning that the pup was yelping- then they try to say well maybe it was fake, or already dead. I have quite a few military family members and several close friends in the USMC- and peices of crap like this one disgrace their uniform, their country, and those they serve with. This really enraged me.

Sorry, I realized the error too late, dont tell my husband that I didnt make the correct distinction, he would be very disapointed in me.....
Most of the videos have been removed from youtube, but I saw it last night. What a sick person. I do believe that the audio was added, whether the puppy was alive or dead or fake. Because in the background you can hear other dogs barking. Still, joke or not they should be punished.
Regardless of whether it's real or not (I do think it's real), the fact remains he disgraced his uniform and he has brought additional hardship on his brothers in uniform because they will be left holding the bag of bad publicity this idiot has brought on US service personnel.
They just showed it on MSNBC. Very sick. Sadly, I am betting stuff like that happens way more often than we think.

Of course there is the whole animal abuse-people abuse link, etc. so that is someone who needs a lot of help among other things.
