so because this youtube link says "FAKE," that means that all the other references to this video over the past few days are also fake? Thanks for clearing that one up for all of us here on the internet.
I am sure if it were a video of something that you don't want to believe,claiming that it was a fake, you'd be all over it as virtual proof that it was fake though, eh...

How many dogs have you actually seen thrown? I have seen my share. I can tell you this, they don't go end over end like that...

Wonder why they didn't use a cat? Many people hate cats. But -everyone- loves a puppy. In fact a cat would -certainly- gyrate even more than a dog, making the effect look completely fake.

"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.
The Marines have publicly deplored the video and made it clear that they know who the Marine in the clip is - a lance corporal who returned to Hawaii in October from Iraq - so to still claim it's a fake video is beyond twilight zone levels of delusion.
The fact that some can't entertain the notion that troops could bring themselves do to this underscores the myopic nature of their world view.
This is the trouble with so called video evidence in these modern times, who knows whats real and what isn't?

Then again we dont even know the full story.
So i will end by saying that until you actually find yourself in his situation
and im thinking not a lot will.
Who are you to question his action's ?
Dont like it ? Tough luck.
Take care.
This post is beyond credulity? What could the full story be? That he didn't like the look of the dog, or that it bit his finger or peed on his boots, so that's why he had to do it.

Shure thing.
Unless you have been in the soldiers position a war zone for example doing certain thing's maybe killing some peaple.
Generally living your life in a different way from the average joe.
Maybe getting a little bored and having too much time on your hand's ect.
Then how can you know what is going on in his head unless you were actually standing next to him during his whole tour ?
See what im getting at ?
Maybe you do understand chances are you wont get it.
If it was a choice between me throwing a dog off a cliff or maybe exploding and going on a postal type rampage over there in that hell hole or maybe back home well.
That puppy best be packing a parachute.
Take care.
