Naive and childish are hardly the words to describe me.
In fatc, the opposite. I am just fuming at the fact that a group of stupid Marines are the cause of judgement for us all.

It very well could have been.
However, how much about me do you know to be making assumptions about me?

Bad grammar, but point taken.
What I have been trying to convey here all along.

Are you serious, or is that a joke?
Of course it's real.

I can see that they are a little disturbed by war, but seriously, you could have just left it alone. That wasn't fucking funny either, (woops I tripped) mother fucker, woops I trimmed and dropped a god damn sledge hammer into your fucking face. Sorry, you are dead now. What the fuck is wrong with this world?...
The end of this and your examples are confusing, but I get what you're trying to say.
However, humans and dogs are not the same, so you can't compare throwing a dead dog off a cliff to killing a live human.
Humans are called humans for a reason, and dogs are called dogs for a reason.
We are different, and with different personalities.

I can actually relate to this, seeing as I have had a job that had a similarly bad, if not worse reputation for malpractice and cruelty.
I have worked as an animal technician for a medical research centre. We do not want to be cruel to animals, we actually do our very best to make sure that they are as comfortable as possible in what is quite often a very short life. Yet the image of the animal tech has been tarnished repeatedly by a small minority of sick individuals who wish to cause unnecessary pain to other living things.
As a consequence of this, every Wednesday after work I would get insulted, spat on and sometimes followed by the retarded protesters who can't seem to understand this. Anyone who generalises American soldiers in this way is also one of those retards who doesn't actually have a clue about what they are talking about.
And yet I bet that animal people have tried to joke on an exmperimental dog/animal, but the rest of you guys are very nice. I get what you are trying to say, my friend.
In conclusion, do I agreee with what these jokesters did? NO.
Do I understand where they come from? YES

That's why I am in defense of the Marines.
