This pisses me off to no end! ing coward! I just saw the complete video (not hard to find, just google it) and I'm not entirely convinced this isn't a hoax... however, if it turns out to be legit, I hope this er gets prison time! Heartless son of a ! What the did that poor animal do to him?? Seriously, think of anything more innocent than a puppy? I don't think there is. I swear I'm going to have trouble falling asleep with how pissed I am right now.
(CNN) -- The military is investigating a "shocking and deplorable" YouTube video that seems to show a Marine throwing a puppy off a rocky cliff.
The black-and-white puppy makes a yelping sound as it flies through the air.
"That's mean, that was mean," one companion says off-camera, addressing the alleged puppy thrower by his last name. The fate of the animal is not known.
The Marine is identified on the video and in other Internet postings as a lance corporal stationed at Marine Corps Base Hawaii in Kaneohe.
It's not clear where the video was shot, although the man who appears to throw the puppy and another Marine are in full combat gear with helmets.
YouTube.com had taken down the video by 12:30 p.m. ET Tuesday "due to terms of use violation," according to a banner on the Web site.
"This is a shocking and deplorable video that is contrary to the high standards that we set for every Marine," Marine Corps spokesman Maj. Chris Perrine said at a news conference Monday night.
"We will investigate this and take appropriate actions," Perrine said.
He said the Marine is being kept safe in view of the anger over the alleged incident.
Perrine added that the majority of Marines conduct themselves honorably.
"There are many examples of Marines who adopt pets and bring them back from Iraq and demonstrate their compassion on a daily basis," he said.
If the video is deemed legitimate, the lance corporal could face a charge of conduct unbecoming a Marine, Perrine said. There could be administrative action, nonjudicial punishment or a court-martial, he added.
"It's all governed by the Uniform Code of Military Justice, and anything from reduction in pay to reduction in rank to confinement to discharge from the Marine Corps" is possible, Perrine said. If others are involved, they too will be disciplined, he said.
"Certainly, there's a lot of outrage, and a lot of people are upset about it. I think every Marine is upset about this video," he said. "We hope that it turns out not to be what it looks like."
That's a very ed up thing to do. Poor dog
Well, maybe the Iraqi civilians.....Seriously, think of anything more innocent than a puppy?
He does deserve to be punished for this deplorable action, no dobut.
Maybe ahh child?
no puppy desevers that
How about we take a baseball bat, shove it up his ass then throw him the off a ing cliff.
he should have just killed like 10 iraqis.... then he would have been a hero instead of a bum
One less soldier to defend our freedom, dumb .
just saw the video....it looked fake to me.
however, if it wasnt......wow....that is pretty cruel.
I hope that mother er dies in combat. I would spit on his corpse if he came back in a body bag.
that. Spitting on his grave is too good for him. I would on his corpse.
Not fake. There's tons of videos of American soldiers blowing up. That puppy was so scared less it couldn't move (playing dead natural instincts.) That's just spin they tell stupid people. Anyhow, this guy. That's just en evil.
People that do that stuff to puppies and defenseless animals, do not deserve to represent our country
Yeah, lets just hope the sick doesn't "trip" and kill one of his own men with friendly fire.
What an ass.
Damn, that guy needs to take a beating!
This one is worse...

We know that this one is alive.
man....i just dont get why people would do such a thing.
Outrage? Over this?
Give me a ing break.
Yes, that is en outrageous. I'd like to see that er pick on someone his own size.
It is heartbreaking reading this kind of stuff.
The spine-less demons that shot the video are just as bad. These people are remorseless sickos that don't deserve the freedom that they represent.
accidental double post
Whether this is a hoax (one can hope) or real (God forbid), the point it raises for me is the horrifying degree to which our society seems to have diminished the value of life and accepted incredible cruelty as normal. That someone would even think to joke about doing such things to a puppy is beyond my comprehension. The notion that it actually happened and was filmed and was shared as some sort of humorous occurrence is beyond sickening.
I would have shot that er. poor dog..
