"During the first quarter of 2005, The HSUS heard from many service members in Iraq, seeking intervention in the fate of rescued animals, mostly dogs, in danger of being confiscated and killed by military authorities. Soldiers confirmed that the U.S. government had hired contractors to kill dogs found on American bases in Iraq. Some military units were also ordered to shoot animals on sight."

"..those who breach the policy on pets face the threat of serious punishment, including reduction in rank and court-martial."

Could be infested with terrorist fleas or worse yet a bomb has been injested and will go off when the animal deems it should....NOT!

No, this concerns mascots and rescued animals that are made into pets, and the reason for killing them is "prejudicial to the maintenance of good order and discipline of all forces". Give me a fucking break !

What about a little humanity amidst the chaos.. ?
Eh.. humanity. Yea right..

Also from the article: "But Americans, be they in Baghdad, Beaufort, Billings, or Boston, all know the same truth. The bond between humans and animals does not compromise character or morale. It enhances them."

 

The entire country has been destroyed, animals are just collateral damages.

Entire.

 

You're right, I shouldn't be surprised. But somehow I am, time and time again..

 

Of course, and all those innocent little kids that are blown to pieces are also just collateral damage.

 

Remote detonation:shrug:

Its all a result of American paranoia. Our government is instilling intense paranoia in all of us. Everywhere we look, we're being given reason to be paranoid.
"Everybody is out to get you."
That is the motto of this country.

 

Actually, that's the motto of humanity.

 

You are forgetting that this is happening in a war. Where -

character and morale must be kept within a certain range.

If soldiers were allowed regular contact with animals, such as having them as pets -see those lovely kitties? the soldiers get all lovey dovey around them-, this would likely sway their morality and lead them to think it is wrong to go to war - so they would revolt or desert the army. The army cannot afford that.

 

True, but it is so pervasive here. I didn't pick that up in Holland when I was there. At least not to the extent that I feel it here. Then again, that was nine years ago. Maybe its changed.:shrug:

 

Yea right.. it's a phenomenon of all ages Green. 'Soldier saves pet' is not exactly unheard of.
And I didn't forget that it happened in a war.
Btw. it almost looks like you are replying to the opposite of what you quoted.. (?)

 

It's just that Bush has broken the veil, so it's ugly head is showing. The veil is thin, very thin.

 

They should cook them
