This obviously is not the fault of the marines, but it makes me wonder

now to "screen" new blood.

What a stupid, ****ing, question. One has to only consider the source.

There is some question as to whether this was a prank. Apparently,
there is a fake stuffed puppy that looks exactly like the "puppy" that
was chucked.

There is also some question as to the audio.

Here's the puppy in question.

It's a sick prank, but still...

My comment had to do with Harry's anti-military sarcasm. The questions
about the video were in the original article.

Harry's comment was uncalled for.

What sarcasm? You think it sarcastic to suggest the military needs to
screen out misfits better than it does?

You want me to engage you in discussion? I can't abide liars.

As I stated earlier, "then, how do you abide yourself?"

Do you really want to call me a liar Krause? Or, are
you happy being the laughing stock of the newsgroup?

I have never lied about my education. Can you say truthfully that you
have never lied about your education?

I have never lied about my employment record. Can you say truthfully
that you never lied about your employment record?

I have never lied about personal accomplishments. Can you say truthfully
that you have never lied about your personal accomplishments?

I never lied about my possessions. Can you truthfully say you've never lied
about your possessions?

I've never posted other's photographs with the pretense that I'd taken
them. Can you truthfully say you've never done so?

I learned long ago that lying only makes your look the fool when you are
found to have lied, not if you are ever found to have lied.

(Thanks BAR)
