After all, the guy in Tennessee saved *his own* dog. You called both him and his dog 'stupid' and expected him to stand by and do nothing but watch his own dog die.

Do you think the soldiers would stand by and watch their own dog die behind the glass patio door? Would they, too, be 'stupid' in your eyes if they saved the dog they love?

Actually, I called the guy an idiot. But you're right, I did call the dog stupid. If the dog was so smart why didn't it let itself out the door? Besides, other people called the firefighters "cowards" and "p*ssies" and other such names. Why is it okay to call a fellow human being names but I can't call a stupid dog a stupid dog? Seems to me you people have your priorities out of whack.

I believe I answered the other question before but I will be happy to answer it as many times as it takes. I doubt the TRAINED, PROFESSIONAL soldier would interfere with the work of the TRAINED, PROFESSIONAL firefighters on scene. Being a TRAINED, PROFESSIONAL soldier himself, he probably would respect the TRAINED, PROFESSIONAL firefighters on scene.

Let's say the dog belonged to an imbedded reporter. He wouldn't appreciate the reporter taking matters into his or her own hands and deciding for himself or herself just how he or she is going to rescue one of those dogs....excuse me......HIS DOG should it find itself in a precarious position after being sent in to chase a perpetrator, especially when there are TRAINED, PROFESSIONAL soldiers who know best how to assess the risk.
