I guess a lot of people are ticked about this video apparently showing a US soldier throwing a puppy off of a cliff while a buddy jokes around.

My reaction?  Meh.  I don’t like seeing the puppy hurt/killed any more than anyone else, but there are sadistic jerks all over the place.  That these two just happen to be US soldiers is neither here nor there.

Also, it’d be nice if the people on the left currently trying to manufacture this into some grand “our soldiers are monstrous sociopaths” theory a la the New York Times were capable of this level of disgust when it comes to the things our enemies do in the name of their cause.
