Your welcome!
Ahhh you know what I mean..lol I wasnt calling you an old geezer.
lol at wabbitdad
Tracy - I just wanted to say I agree with your last comment there 100%, well put. And you are right that the average 25 year old guy today, is not like the average 25 year old once was. That is why I am with and have been for quite some time, a man who is quite a bit older than me. I just skiped the 25 year old behavior all together! I met my partner when I was 19, and didn't think twice, we fit together well.
Although he still thinks he is in the military and watching him make a bed is really something
I was 14, He came up to me at a theme park and asked me "do you know your fine" I said "yeah" and walked away( in know i used to b mean) and that was that. Well I saw him again about a year later at a store, didnt speak to him, then ANOTHER year later, I was at a party (me 16, him 19) and look who comes walking out the door, the theme park guy.. so we talked all night, I decided to give him a chance... two months later we are living 150 miles away from both of our familys, on our own(by choice)... its since been over 8 years since our first date, and are now married(been married for 1 and a half years). I can positively say we'll be together forever.. I mean we stuck by each other all those years so theres definatly going to be no surprises in our marriage, we were together for 7 years before we tied the knot lol I think we know everything about each other.
YES! Nubs was one the others I had read earlier because as they said it was featured on AOL as was the one I posted earlier
Thank you, Wabbitdad, for saying that!!Phinnsmommy wrote:Ugh!
That is ssoo mean
People always brag about how great US soldiers are, well, they should see this video.
You can hear a thud when it hits the ground. Omg
Just hold on a minute everyone!
Do not put all soldiers in the same group because of oneincredibly stupid individual, as you would not lump all people of one race together because of the brainless actions of one person.
The US military IS THE GREATEST in the world and remember they are protecting your freedom.
By no means am I condoning the insensitive and cruel actions of this twit. The Army will be investigating this incident and determine if it was an altered video or if it actually happened.
If it actually happened, the soldier and all those involved will be punished. The Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) has very strict penalties and the guilty cannot plea bargin to a lesser charge.
Also, our enemy would have perfectcause to alter a video and post it on youtube to turnUS publicopinion on itsown military and to increase the negative image the press has given the US role in Iraq. If it was another US soldier who altered the video because, for whatever reason thought it was funny, then heis just plain dumber then a box of rocks.
The US military is a crosssegment ofour society and you will get a few rotten individuals in it.
I spent 25 years in military service to this country and it ticks me off when people lump all military personnel together when one idiot does something sosenseless it boggles the mind.This soldier is not representative of the others that are serving inIraq performing their duties with honor.
There is no excusefor this kind of behavior. If he andthe other cretins involved actually did this, they will be punished. If found guilty, they could get imprisonment, reduction in rank, fortifiture of all pay and a dishonoralbe discharge (there's probably a few thingsin addition)or all the above.
yes that is the dog named Nubs for the ears that he is missingI did not watch the video because I would have found it too utterly disturbing; the title of the thread itself had me extremely upset...so I don't know much about the details. I am curious, was this act committed in the U.S., or did it take place overseas? If on American soil, can he not be located and charged?
In my opinion, any act of abuse, cruelty, torture, and/or killing of an animal tells me that something inside of the person is 'broken'. At the very least, someone capable of doing such a thing should be charged with extreme cruelty causing death - if it is possible; and should be assessed for emotional problems. How I wish these things did not happen...but they do. Rather than condemn the person to a similar fate, or to horrific things happening to them (a reaction that I do totally understand), I would much rather see persons who commit such acts be treated, rather than written off completely. I just hope the person in the video does recieve some help.
ooops...wanted to add on to my post that while these things do happen, there are - as has already been posted - many stories on the flip side of this one. I watched a show on tv several months ago about a man in the military who was fighting in Iraq (not sure it is the same story as one already mentioned in this thread); this stray dog adopted him and began hanging around the camp. The dog wound up getting seriously hurt at one point, so the soldier arranged to have him flown to the U.S. for treatment. His wife and children took care of the dog when it arrived stateside, and despite having to lose one of his legs, the dog recovered completely and was adopted by the soldier and his family. The veterinarian who treated the dog was so moved by all of this that he refused to charge the family anything; he was brought to tears and said it was least he could do for someone who was overseas fighting. It was a beautiful story...

I come from a military family and my husband is serving in the Air Force. I can't tell you how upset I feel seeing this video being posted everywhere on the Internet and howshocked I am seeing people jumping at the chance to slam our military. It really is hurtful.
