Cruelty and Inhumanity
Many times it is hard to understand the way the human mind works in certain kind of people. Criminals are not only those who kill, rape, or abuse innocent human beings. A criminal is also somebody who intentionally hurts a defenseless little animal, with no reason whatsoever.
This is against the law in the country we live in, The United States of America,- to mistreat or abuse animals in any way.
Recently, a movie taken from a cellular phone, has been circulating on the Internet, where it shows a Marine in Iraq by the name of "DAVID MORTARI" who resides in Washington, D.C.,-- taking a very small puppy, which looks like a "Chitsu", holding him in the air,-and throwing it into a deep pit, while the poor little animal squealed with pain and terror.
All this while his "Partner in Crime" took the movie on his cellular phone, both of them laughing as if they were watching a comedy.- Showing no kind of compassion or pity whatsoever.
It is inconceivable that The State Dept., or The High Command of the Military in Iraq has allowed this to happen,
without an explanation or indication that this "Poor Excuse of a Marine" and his partner, has been sanctioned in some
way for this inhumane action.
Our boys are fighting and dying every day in a war that is not well accepted by many countries in the world, and even many people in the U.S.A.
We surely do not need to embarrass or have the world condemn the rest of our proud and brave Marines, for the actions of "Two Rotten Apples" that certainly "DO NOT" belong on our glorious MARINE FORCE.-
People will probably think, -and reasonably so-, that if they are capable of doing this to a defenseless little animal, what will they do to the prisoners of war, or other Iraqi people. This has been a big issue in the press, for what is supposedly happening in Guantanamo Bay in Cuba.-
We must show the world that our soldiers are not CRIMINALS.- They are simply following orders and fighting a war, --no matter how irrational this war might seem to others.
IT IS IMPERATIVE that we hear from our High Command some kind of explanation, since now, more than ever, we need the support of the whole world.
