This did hit global news and the soldiers involved are facing charges with the United States; we have severe animal creulty laws that protect dogs, etc. Select animals are protected select animals are not. Dogs are protected unlike cats.

If you want to see the video it's below, it's not 'violent' you really cannot see the landing but it did happen and major news companies are following it:

This is actually quite old, but either way it's incredibly horrible.

The guy deserves to be thrown off a cliff. How stupid can you be to have your buddy record the whole thing though?

I just read in the news today that they were not getting any criminal punishments rather the guy who threw the puppy was terminated from the military and the guy who put it on youtube was receiving another non criminal punishment, but he is still allowed to stay in uniform.

Throw them both out of a plane without a parachute, see if they enjoy it... Stupid idiots...

Why would anyone do that?
