Puppy tossing marine update Remember that horrifying youtube video of the marine tossing the puppy into a ravine? Well the Marines have tossed him!

the Marine Corps, which rightly recognizes that harming animals is unacceptable conduct,

but harming human beings? knock yourself out.

I couldn't watch the video, and decided to instead bury my head in the sand and assume it a fake. Apparently not. Yick.

Well the Marines have tossed him!

And not in the British sense!

Over a cliff? Ah, no, just out of the Marines, back into civilian life. Where he won't be protected by the military from animal-loving citizens who might want to exact a little revenge on him.

Something about the statement they put out seems to suggest "we're tossing him because the incident brought bad attention to us" rather than "we're tossing him because this is unCorpsmanlike behavior". But then I am extra-high on cynicism juice today.

I'm sure that's it, casarkos, but I'm still glad the asshole found out he wasn't THAT bulletproof.

what kind of ass actually considers it a good idea to throw a puppy like that ... and then what kind of ass thinks it's a good idea to film it? there are several EPIC FAILS happening at once in this universe.

Dammit, I was hoping that video was fake too.
