I need to say, I think, that the young man who is my secular "Godson" has just passed out as a Marine in the UK.  I assert that you can be absolutely certain that he and his comrades would have no truck whatsoever with atrocities like this.  Nor, of course, are they asked to commit them.

This is not to open an argument about warfare, please.  I wish that all our fellow human beings were willing to live at peace together.  With our species, though, it ain't going to happen.

It may only be a few 'bad apples' that engage in atrocious behaviour like this, but that means nothing to the animals (and humans) murdered by these  :censored:

What kind of society are they trying to build when they think it's acceptable to commit such acts of appalling cruelty?  >:(

not to disturb anyone but have you seen the video for survival training where they have to kill the chicken?

I've not seen that one.  Why do they have to kill anything though when it comes to their training.  I know it will probably rule out the man from the boys but there must be other alternatives.  The Peruvian army string up live dogs and slash at them, I really think the guys that are capable of doing this are very warped in their mind and I expect they would also be trigger happy  >:(  >:(  My son is after joining the army and I would hope if he was told he had to do some of the initiation things that have been mentioned on here, that he would refuse.

its all part of the conditioning, obey without question, essentially brain washing and unfortunately it works but they would make poor soldiers otherwise

doesn't really tie in the the marines at crufts with the two they got back from Afganistan or Iraq does it - poor little pup

It only take one sick  :censored: to give them all a bad name.  I read the story on the ones at Crufts as I had an email about them, there are some caring guys out there, they just need to get rid of the bad apples.

There was also the story about the marine who rescued a dog caught in razor wire in Iraq who spent $10,000 on treatment and adopted afterwards. I Do think we have to be careful about tarring everyone with the same brush. I am very concerned about the initiation things though. They say that senior officers are aware of it but would deny it.

And often suffer PTST after they return to be just turned out by the military to fend for themselves
