Devil Dogs yank Corp's chain

Apparently the medications being deployed to the U.S. Army haven't found their way into the ranks of the Marine Corps. It seems a pair of Devil Dogs were involved in the tossing of a puppy over a cliff. The Corps didn't take too kindly to that and one of the marines in question has been shown the door. The other has probably gotten 45/45, 350 for 2, and a reduction in rate, or some version thereof. It goes without saying that Iraq is a high stress environment. With prolonged deployments and less time back in the states, this is a visible sign of how great a toll the war is taking on our troops. Links have been shown between animal abuse and worse crimes. God forbid that this stressed behavior among our marines should be found to be only the tip of the iceberg. More needs to be done for the emotional and psychological support of our troops in theater, lest we discover that worse things than puppies have been thrown over a cliff.
