Well the Marine Corps has not determined if the film is real or fake. But I just hear don the radio that apparently animals - especially dogs - in Iraq run wild and carry many diseases. Some dogs have also been found carrying bombs. The military members overseas have been told to destroy the animals on sight. I asked my exhusband and he said that was the policy when he was over there.
This information does not change how I view that person or the fool who filmed the event. If we knew that there was such a problem over there and animals are sick, why didn't we send a bunch of Vets with enough medicine to either cure or properly euthanize the animals? I do not see throwing animals off of cliffs or even shooting them for no reason to be acceptable.

i dont believe it. throwing a small defenseless puppy off a cliff to hear it yelp is not the marine's policy or the armies. you may put an animal down if it is done humanely. this guy wasn't following policy, he was acting cool for his buddies.

This is very sad.
There is already too much animal abuse in the world and people need to be punished more severely for hurting or killing defenseless animals!
