I don`t think this sort of thing is court martial material, but this definitely deserves disciplinary action. There is no excuse for doing that to a non aggressive animal. Whats even more sickening is the fact there is half a dozen soldiers around him that are laughing their asses off about it.
A soldier on another forum said that while he thinks what they did is disgusting he said that since it's not against the law in the country where they did it that they'll probably get at most a slap on the writst or a couple of weeks in the slammer.
They should return the same exact punishment. I have no sympathy for pathetic losers like that, and I would gladly administer the punishment.
I've seen people killing pigs in front of me. He was aiming for the head so he wasn't beating it to the death, he was killing it... Big difference, however more humane would be a knife to the heart.
Yeah, big difference. Sorry but if you get pleasure out of beating animals to death for no reason, you are a sick (*)(*)(*)(*), period.
We had a guy in our unit stomp a cat to death for no reason. He has since been given an Article 15, months of extra duty, demotion to E-1, and will be chaptered out of the Army within the next 2 weeks. So before anyone comes on here and says something about the barbarism of the US military or something just know that we don't condone such behavior from our Soldiers. Oh and this was also in a country where I don't believe killing cats is illegal.
what better way to show our humanity than to beat a helpless sheep to death with a baseball bat... sheep are living breathing creatures with emotions too.. humanity needs to get over itself and realize there is more to life than man. Sheep are far better than us... i could fill a thousand volumes full of reasons why sheep are better, so don't go there.. simply open a history book.
Not quite, sheep are very valuable resource in those countries and are quite expensive... I find it interesting though that we have a topic about soldiers killing animal but no topic about NATO strike of Pakistan military outpost that left 20 people dead. Are americans so perverted that 20 human lives are less valuable than a sheep?
on the contrary good sir, there are a couple of threads about that incident. http://www.politicalforum.com/lates...air-attack-pakistani-troops-self-defense.html http://www.politicalforum.com/lates...an-supply-routes-afghanistan-closed-nato.html
I don't know about all that...I mean I love and respect animals as well and would never kill one for pleasure, but I wouldn't exactly classify them as equal to humans let alone superior...
the soldier has PTSD or post traumatic stress disorder from the war and should get the VA to pay welfare for his rehabilitation since no one was hurt this is probably not a crime, people kill cows for food all the time
All animals are better than humans, they don't start wars, and their hearts don't harbor malice. Dog is God spelled backwards, we still have a lot to learn.
Well, they could have killed it in A VARIETY of less barbaric ways. A.) Shoot the thing B.) lob its head off with a machete C.) Stick it in the heart with a bayonet D.) about 1000 other ways, considering they are on an army base... Also, I would have made a thread on the pakistani`s getting bombed by NATO, but the latest world world news forum has about 6 of them already...
A baseball bat to him would relieve that PTSD real quick. (*)(*)(*)(*) him, his a sick piece of (*)(*)(*)(*).
Not like that... Because a cow is big enough to beat your ass. And killing a cow like that is inhumane and takes way more effort than needed.
Holy (*)(*)(*)(*). Leave it to a liberal to make this guy a victim and offer him a cash benefit. Holy (*)(*)(*)(*).
Was it stated that the Soldier had PTSD? PTSD effects people in a huge variety of ways and if true it might excuse him from his actions even if he seems like having a blast while doing it. However, I doubt that all of the Soldiers around him had PTSD and should have intervened.
I know that guy who threw that puppy got DD'ed. I don't know why people assume that they won't. This is absolutely conduct unbefitting. Weirdest post from you ever. They make extinct other species, their hearts don't harbor malice? I guess you have never owned a cat. Toying with their victims until killing them. Not to eat, but for pleasure. Cats get big. I think you are outside of reality on this subject... respectfully.
What if he is just a born jackass? I am pretty sure that Dbag did not have PTSD, and i am most definitely liberal.
