Updating this story from earlier in the year. I think they should have thrown his ass off a cliff but at least he didnt get away without punishment.

HONOLULU - The Marine Corps said Wednesday it was expelling one Marine and disciplining another for their roles in a video showing a Marine throwing a puppy off a cliff while on patrol in Iraq.
The 17-second video posted on YouTube drew sharp condemnation from animal rights groups when it came to light in March.
The clip shows two Marines joking before one hurls the puppy into a rocky gully. A yelping sound is heard as it flips through the air.
"That's mean. That's mean, Motari," an off-camera Marine is heard telling the Marine who tossed the black and white dog. The off-camera Marine snickered slightly afterward.
Lance Cpl. David Motari, assigned to the 1st Battalion, 3rd Marine Regiment at Kaneohe Bay, is "being processed for separation" from the Marine Corps, the Marine Corps said in a news release. He also received unspecified "non-judicial punishment."
The Marine Corps didn't say what role Motari played in the clip.
The video was viewed tens of thousands of times before YouTube took it down because of a violation of the site's terms of use.
"The actions seen in the Internet video are contrary to the high standards we expect of every Marine and will not be tolerated," Marine Corps Base Hawaii said in a news release. "The vast majority of Marines conduct their duties with honor and compassion that makes American people proud."
The second Marine, Sgt. Crismarvin Banez Encarnacion, also received unspecified "non-judicial" punishment.
Encarnacion is assigned to the Weapons and Field Training Battalion, Marine Corps Recruit Depot San Diego.
First Lt. Binford Strickland, a Marine Corps Base Hawaii spokesman, said the service may not reveal what roles the two men played in the video because that was part of the investigation. He said releasing such information would violate the Privacy Act.
Strickland declined to provide details about the disciplinary measures taken against the men for the same reason.

How extreme.
You know, I'm glad they've taken measures. But I'm even more glad people like you or flywallyfly didn't get to decide his faith.
edit: by the way, it's sort of ironic how they're all noble about this yet US military is deliberately killing innocent people. I guess, it's a start, though.

i'd throw the fucker off a cliff. don't you think what happened to the dog was a little extreme?
It's not going to change anything by committing another atrocious act yourself. That makes you just as wrong.

If he threw the puppy off the cliff because he was starving and needed to kill it and cook it, I'd give him my respect. Instead, he laughed and did it for no other reason that to give himself a boner.
that sick fuck
sick like beating someone with the butt of a gun?

Yes it was real afterall. The quality was so poor that it made it nearly impossible to tell. The guy admitted to it and apologized on his myspace page before it inevitably went down from all the hatred it received. His real address and tel # was posted online as well, and even his mother was making pleas to stop calling them. I'm sure this has been a nightmare for him.
Motari is a pretty sick dude. If the dog was suffering and was going to die at least shoot it humanely, and be nice to it beforehand.
Karma came around a bit him in the ass pretty hard.
and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
over specific principles, goals, and policies.

Not nearly as extreme as throwing a human being off a cliff.
Glad to know you'd kill a human being because he's an heartless asshole. Nevermind your own behaviour then. Killing people is apparently not extreme, killing a puppy is.
:rolleyes:
