Just in case you haven’t seen it yet, its the rage, and I mean that literally, of You Tube.
WARNING: If you like dogs you don’t want to see this. The dog squeals all the way down.
But when you consider the likely fate of this puppy, think about the mental state of the soldier and his buddy who so casually killed this dog.

We send young, emotionally immature boys into unfamiliar cultures, give them impossible tasks to perform while living under the fear of death.

We tell them that if they do not do these things they are traitors and will be punished for their disobedience.
And then we wonder at the cruelty of this kind of video.
Our sons and daughters should be at home.
