I gotta say that thought entered my mind too. First thing that needs to be done is to ID this person to confirm if he really is a Marine and if he really is in Iraq.

This guy is under siege, he and his family are removing all facebook postings etc.
Regardless how the investigation turns out, what a hornets nest he has stirred up for himself.

Hawaii Marine investigated over Iraq puppy-abuse video
By Gina Mangieri
A Hawaii-based Marine is at the center of a military investigation over a video posted on the internet that appears to show him abusing an animal.
The video of apparent cruelty to a puppy has caused widespread outrage among many who have seen it, including the Marines. KHON2 will not show this video in its entirety, but we caution viewers the content may be disturbing.
On the video a Marine appears to pick up and then throw a stray puppy.
“That was mean. That was mean, ____(FR will not allow name),” one Marine says to the other Marine after throwing the animal.
The person is identified on the video and in subsequent internet postings as a lance corporal stationed at Marine Corps Base Hawaii in Kaneohe.’
‘The Marine Corps has launched an investigation to determine whether the man on the video is their Marine who returned last October from a 7-month tour of duty in Iraq.’
‘The Marines are examining whether the video is authentic or if it might not be what it appears. Regardless of whether it is real or a hoax, the Marines say the posting is unacceptable.’
