While true that Muslims aren’t as dog-crazy as other people are, I’ve never been to a Muslim country that didn’t have any dog owners. It’s not a strange sight at all to see a dog.

What was making the squealing sound?

Who knows but I don't think a loud yapping that doesn't modulate with distance came from that little puppy. If anything the puppy would be yapping before, not in the air.

Lighten up, it’s not even a real dog. A court martial for making a prank video? I don’t think so.

Pay no attention to the headlines Saudi chops off 15 month olds head folks. A prank video is much more important world news.

We are the world we are the children we are the ones... come on everybody sing the new U.S. National Anthem...

Very messed up indeed with PC becoming the law of the land. No one dare speak against the radical Islamic as it is their tradition to murder humans. But let a obvious fake prank video be released of a dog tossing and Oh My Gosh those Barbarians we demand an immediate investigation.

Yea our government calls them prefered trade partners. There is enough very real tortures and meyhem effecting human beings in nations our government calls friends. Yet I bet these Marines who made this prank video in Iraq {could have just as easilly been in the U.S.} will face much more outrage by citizen and government alike. The P.C. war has been lost. Sad to say many who should know better are buying into it as well.

I haven’t even seen the video but I can see from a quick read of the thread that many here have an agenda and this thread is serving a purpose.

I see my comment providing much needed perspective has been removed. I guess this thread is just for people to imagine seeing things that are not there (like ropes) and feel outraged. I guess I'll just comment on the cruelty of Chris Angel cutting a woman in half. It's as real as the puppy toss.

Too bad it was pulled. It did put things in needed perspective which many have seemed to have lost.

BTW hey PETA whacks. I used to toss cats into creek just to make them mad. Come and get me whack jobs.

There is the distinct possibility that we are looking at a "black op" video from some leftists pretending to be U.S. Marines, with the intention of discrediting the military. In the movie "1900", there was a scene where Donald Sutherland, who played the role of an Italian fascist leader, stomped a kitten to death to show his mercilessness. To indicate a similar mentality may be the hidden agenda behind this video. It is easy enough to dress men up as Marines and shoot the video in the California or Arizona desert. As short as the video is, it would be difficult to be caught on telltale signs that would indicate fakery.

DOG SAVED IN IRAQ

SAN DIEGO - It began with a simple act of kindness to save an abused, injured dog from becoming one more victim in the Iraq war.

But what followed for Marine Maj. Brian Dennis and the mutt was a tale of friendship and loyalty that spanned miles and overcame long odds — one set to take a turn Friday with the anticipated arrival here of the Marine’s best friend.

“This dog who had been through a lifetime of fighting, war, abuse ... is going to live the good life,” Dennis told his family in an e-mail from Iraq.

The tale unfolded in October, a few months after Dennis deployed to Iraq from San Diego to work as part of the military team building infrastructure along the Syria-Iraq border and training Iraqi forces to take over.

Dennis, 36, of St. Pete Beach, Fla., had volunteered for the assignment. It was a departure from his role as a fighter pilot. He had seen the country from the air, but it was different on the ground.

Dennis wrote stories home about the reciprocal relationship that desert dogs, strays wandering outside border towns, had with Iraqis.

“The dogs get to eat the Iraqi scraps and have a home in the middle of the desert,” he wrote in an e-mail. “The Iraqis get an incredible early warning system; these dogs hear anything approaching from miles away and go nuts and scramble to defend their territory.”

While on patrol in the Anbar province, Dennis spotted what appeared to be a gray and white, male German shepherd-border collie mix. He named the dog Nubs after learning someone cut the ears off believing it would make the dog more aggressive and alert.

Within weeks, Nubs was greeting Dennis during routine patrol stops along border communities. The Marines fed him bits of their food and by November, the Marine and his unit were keeping an eye out for the dog, which routinely chased their Humvees when they departed.

Life on the run, however, was taking a toll on the dog. He had lost a tooth and been bitten in the neck. In late December, Dennis found Nubs near death in freezing temperatures. The dog had been stabbed with a screwdriver.

Dennis rubbed antibiotic creme on the wound and slept with Nubs to keep him warm.

“I really expected when I woke up for watch he would be dead,” Dennis wrote. “Somehow he made it through the night.”

Dennis thought he had seen the last of the dog days later when his squad headed back to its command post some 65 miles away. He couldn’t take the dog with him and watched as it tried to follow the Humvees away from the border.

Two days later, while Dennis and a comrade were working on a Humvee, he looked up and saw the dog staring at him.

“Somehow that crazy damned dog tracked us,” he wrote Jan. 9.

But the reunion was short lived. Military policy prohibits having pets in war zones, and Dennis was given four days to get the dog off the base or kill him.

The decision was easy: Nubs was going to San Diego. The logistics, though, were anything but easy.

With help from his Iraqi interpreter, Dennis managed to find a Jordanian veterinarian to get the care and paperwork needed to get the dog to the states. He also negotiated the red tape to get Nubs across the border into Jordan.

His family and close friends helped raise the $3,500 needed to get the dog from Amman, Jordan, to San Diego, said his mother, Marsha Cargo.

“I just can’t believe it. Out there in the middle of nowhere these two find each other,” Cargo said.

A colleague in San Diego agreed to care for the dog and have it trained until Dennis returns in March from Iraq.

“We anticipate a real steep learning curve for Nubs,” Capt. Eric Sjoberg said. “We want him to learn to just be a dog.”

For now, though, Dennis will settle for the knowledge that Nubs is finally safe — and waiting for his master to follow him.

Seriously. Even Free Republic is backing away from criticism of Islamic barbarianism. Who could look at this and think the fake puppy toss is anything to get upset over. When even FR thinks this has to be pulled, but allowing the pushing of an anti-military agenda by using the fake puppy toss as a hook, then we've lost the bigger political war.

Welcome to FR - don’t let this thread lead you to believe we don’t love our Military.
