Hugh_Hoy Posted March 6, 2008 Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 Well, I'm relieved to hear that CBS is reporting the dog incident was a joke. So maybe throwing the guys off a cliff was a bit hasty? Yeah, maybe poor taste, but so are a lot of "jokes". I can see where "humor" among the troops could become a bit "twisted" and on the dark side. That the guys over there can get a laugh over anything is amazing to me. They need a laugh from time to time, I'm sure. Now the baby killing...I wouldn't give this sicko much time left before he meets his virgins. HH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiery Jack Posted March 6, 2008 Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 I "own" three dogs I purchased at the local animal shelter where they were probably less than a week away from being "put down"... Soi 7 Beergarden? Yeah, I've long-timed a few birds like that from there, mate. Easily done when you've had a few jars. jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuckwoww Posted March 6, 2008 Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 I can't find anything on CBS website about the video being a joke/fake. Got a link HH? I did see where the marine's family is being threatened. http://heraldnet.com/article/20080305/NEWS01/303268761/-1/news01 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh_Hoy Posted March 6, 2008 Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 CWâ?¦here are two links. First is to the CBS story and the second is to an article in the Marine Corps. Times. One of the stories, I recall, makes mention that even if the dog was dead (or maybe even a stuffed animal), punishment might be appropriate under Article 134 of the UCMJ (Uniform Code of Military Justice). http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2008/03/04/national/main3907067.shtml?source=mostpop_story http://www.marinecorpstimes.com/news/2008/03/marine_puppy_video_030308/ 934. ART. 134. GENERAL ARTICLE Though not specifically mentioned in this chapter, all disorders and neglects to the prejudice of good order and discipline in the armed forces, all conduct of a nature to bring discredit upon the armed forces, and crimes and offenses not capital, of which persons subject to this chapter may be guilty, shall be taken cognizance of by a general, special or summary court-martial, according to the nature and degree of the offense, and shall be punished at the discretion of that court.

chuckwoww Posted March 6, 2008 Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 Mersereau said an expert with PETA has analyzed the clip frame by frame. "There are cues in the audio that give us pause, but we have no conclusion, opinion on its validity," he said. "We feel it's absolutely necessary that investigators determine its legitimacy by speaking directly with all those who were involved." I saw that hypothesis already. I thought maybe there was some hard proof. Hopefully a proper investigation will sort out what happened and guilty parties 'will be punished at the discretion of the court' (whatever that means).

TheCorinthian Posted March 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 I don't know but I am told he has been ID'ed and is under arrest. But that is just what I get from other Marines in country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuckwoww Posted March 6, 2008 Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 Thanks. I'll try to keep track of the story. Curious to see what happens to the guy(s). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCorinthian Posted March 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 Oh no question he is going to at least get his ass kicked. Rightfully so, too, if you ask me. Right now he is under protective custody, as I am told. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuckwoww Posted March 6, 2008 Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 I'm guessing they'll say the puppy was already dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
