Gigantor: "Too bad you didn't answer my question"

Texas Eagle: "I didn't???? You don't think the following addresses your question:

"If it was a case where these guys saw a dog in a burning building... and there was nobody around to put the fire out, they would probably do whatever was necessary to try to save the dog's life. But, on the other hand, if there were already trained fire fighters on scene addressing the fire, my guess is these guys (who are trained to follow orders) would probably not interfere with the trained firefighters..."

The question I put to you was about 'one of their dogs' not 'a dog' - big difference.

If they saw *their own* dog trapped behind a glass door would they stand there and watch it die, as you said should be done? I don't think they would do that - they would climb up and try to save their dog no matter what.

"Oh, by the way. Did you notice that those guys love the dog so much that they intentionally sent it into harm's way?"

Sure. They and the dogs were both soldiers. Once home after the war and off the batlefield, if they saw their dog trapped in a fire they would try to save it.

I must commend you for showing signs of mellowing out and moving away from your original hearltless stance.

You've not only backed away from your original claim about a 'backdraft,' but you've also stopped saying 'stupid dog.'

There is still hope. I'm proud of you. Keep it up!
