Simply stupefying: why are some military officials willing to do things that cause needless trouble for the good members?
I read the news about a video that was distributed on YouTube that showed a marine tossing a puppy off a cliff. Whether the dog was alive or dead, the act was still disgusting, and provides ammunition for anti-war and anti-military leftists. Laughing Wolf at Blackfive says it best:
Of course, I seriously doubt that many of those who posted those obscenities have a care in the world about the dogs and even sheep who've been exploited by jihadists for murdering American soldiers. Here's an older report from the Telegraph:
One of the commentors at Michelle's blog sums it up well:

Whomever made this video frelled up badly. If a fake, they have given domestic enemies ammunition to use against the military and in support of the enemy. If real, well, the only positive thing I can find is that they have identified themselves for what they are.In a day and age like this, it's beyond me how some army members could lose their minds so horribly and do things that only fuel the fire of bigots like what I'm going to point to in a moment. One of the worst parts of this is the obnoxious response elicited by some creepy people on the web, which ranged from death threats against the marine to even the same against his family members. For example, from the Youtube thread:
If fake, they need to stand up, admit it, show the proof, and take their lumps for giving aid and comfort to the bigots and other domestic enemies. If it was real, I reiterate that the book should be thrown at them, and may their brothers in arms add to that as well.

Yesterday, 04:50 AM #10Someone should contact the webmasters of CBR and demand that they remove that obscene death threat from their forums at once, ditto plenty of the others there. The Digg thread's got even worse nightmares.

someone should toss that guys family off a cliff and make him watch for doing that to that dog.
Of course, I seriously doubt that many of those who posted those obscenities have a care in the world about the dogs and even sheep who've been exploited by jihadists for murdering American soldiers. Here's an older report from the Telegraph:
Insurgents in Iraq attached explosives to a dog and tried to blow up a military convoy near the northern oil centre of Kirkuk.I don't believe the leftists making those threats against the soldiers or even their families are really concerned about animal rights and safety. They just want to believe that army officials are devils with horns who eat children and other crazy and bizarre fantasies. I also seriously doubt many of them care about if army officials who are guilty of assaulting women in Japan have committed such an act. According to the Japan Times, there was a serviceman who'd recently raped a Filipino woman in Okinawa, but while leftists from the Phillipines may have reacted, few on the American left seem to have done the same.
The canine bomb went off but the only casualty was the unfortunate animal, said police. The militants wrapped an explosive belt around the dog and detonated it as the convoy passed through Dakuk, 25 miles south of Kirkuk, said the town’s police chief, Col Mohammed Barzaji.
“The dog was torn apart by the explosion which caused neither injury among the soldiers nor any damage.”
Col Barzaji said the bomb had been detonated outside a Shia mosque. “Eight suspects have been detained.”
This was not the first time that animals have been used in insurgent attacks. In 2003, donkey carts were used to conceal makeshift multiple rocket launchers in a flurry of attacks in Baghdad. Animal carcasses and human corpses have been used to conceal explosives.
One of the commentors at Michelle's blog sums it up well:
This Marine mom is sick and diseartened tonight… some of the comments that I have read today about our fine Marines have been so vile that they’ve made me physically ill.You're not alone. Even I find it sickening to the stomach.
And some of the comments made towards the innocent family members of this Marine by certain website owners, bloggers and their responders - and their actions - have bordered on the criminal in my opinion, and many have very frankly crossed well over that line. I saw one vile post advocating a sexual assault on this Marines’ mother.
I suspect that I’m not alone in my despair… this is not an easy time to be a military family member and even more so for Marine families.
