I just can't comprehend that in the middle of a war with so many people dying you even care about a dog. Even if it was just sitting there, and he killed it for no reason, it shouldn't even be a footnote in the media or the world psyche.

I'll admit I have no idea what you're trying to say. You sound like you're equating the death of a puppy with the murder of eight million innocent people but I know that can't be right.

But now you're talking about genocide being more justified than self defense and I honestly have no idea where that came from or what you're talking about.

I almost walked into the bathroom and threw up! Why doesn't that get on TV, why isn't it a big thing? Because we don't ever, EVER, want to see it. We are ignoring that this stuff happens. The point is that a puppy is something people can handle?

Rationalizing the moral indignation about a puppy being murdered in the middle of a warzone doesn't make it any less disgusting. The moral indignation, I mean.

Then his friend films it and puts it on myspace! Am I the only person to see this man as souless?

The news article says he was stationed in Iraq, and that's where he's said he's stationed. I don't really know how Hawaii came up, actually. The dog was going to die anyway and he wanted to do something so over the top it'd be funny. It doesn't come across as funny, granted, but that was the intent.

And he's soulless now, because he killed a dog? Jesus Christ.

And the lying thing, yes, it is entirely possible that he's lying to save face, but that was the reason he gave for his actions.
