[QUOTE=Psychokitten;34188483]These men are not animals. Animals kill to eat. These men kill for fun.[/QUOTE] I get your point but I'll just point out animals like Dolphins actually kill and rape for fun too. So yeah. These people have just been out for so long in such an unwelcoming country they end up doing stupid shit, it's sadly not news.

[QUOTE=Psychokitten;34188483]These men are not animals. Animals kill to eat. These men kill for fun.[/QUOTE] My cat does the same.
[QUOTE=Psychokitten;34188483]These men are not animals. Animals kill to eat. These men kill for fun.[/QUOTE] Well they do eat sheep in Afghanistan so who knows. :v: Though I'm pretty sure they slit the throat for that, which is barbaric and painful in itself. Fucked up that they seem to enjoy it, though. Animal Cruelty.
[QUOTE=Artyom;34188469]"way to go America". What if he's talking about the dumbasses who run the damn military, they should run some psyche tests (if they already do, some that are more efficient) to prevent giving idiots like this a gun and ammo, if they can't even be trusted with a fucking sporting item. Stop being so god damn ignorant and take five seconds to research the situation before making an idiotic post like yours.[/QUOTE] My fucking point is that there is nothing to research. The page says NOTHING other then "Yeah, marines killed a sheep. It's sad." The lack of info is what pisses me off. And a physce test can only go so far. Ever heard of shellshock? Someone can start out as a perfectly normal soldier but quickly go insane from the horrors of warfare. There's a possibility that war made these troops more violent, and they were possibly normal when the joined. I'm not saying it's a definite fact, then again nothing can be known for sure because the article said virtually NOTHING.
[QUOTE=OvB;34188517]Well they do eat goat in Afghanistan so who knows. :v: Though I'm pretty sure they slit the throat for that, which is barbaric and painful in itself.[/QUOTE] It's a helluva lot faster than beating it to death. And these men (I use the term as a technicality) were killing for the sake of it. They made it a drawn out, agonizing ordeal, and they enjoyed it.
[QUOTE=BananaFoam;34188419]I'm not trying to say it's justified or that I'm really defending the soldiers, I would just like to see a better source with more info.

[QUOTE=BananaFoam;34188320]Totally looks like a completely unbiased news source. Totally. I'm sorry, but despite being mostly a liberal person, I still don't like it when people look at something with a bias, even if it's a bias I (should) support. Also, the "way to go America" thing is bullshit. You don't let the actions of the few represent an entire country. It's stereotyping or generalizing or whatever you want to call it. We cannot control the actions of every individual soldier on the field and therefore should not be held responsible for an individuals actions. And for one final statement, maybe they actually had a valid reason for doing this? It seems highly unlikely that they did, but the article didn't seem to report anything beyond "OMG Amerifags killed shep". They didn't report their motives, what actions were taken against them, NOTHING. Find a better source and perhaps I will reconsider my opinion.[/QUOTE] I can't hit the agree button hard enough. Facepunch makes me sick to my stomach, in a different way than a video of someone killing a sheep with a baseball bat. Everyone is so quick to go into an anti-cop/military/america/corporation circlejerk whenever any news pops up about some crazy people who just happen to belong to that group. It's fucking ridiculous. Oh and the members of this particular circle jerk will make up some counter-argument and rate me dumb.
This is awful... they all seem to be genuinely enjoying it, too.
essentially every nation in the world farms and slaughters animals for dietary purposes so it's not that shocking at all to me
[QUOTE=Sickle;34188544]That was a[B][I][U] joke.[/U][/I][/B][/QUOTE] I know. I just felt the need to say that just for those who didn't know. Maybe it's a disorder or something.

[QUOTE=Moose;34188599]essentially every nation in the world farms and slaughters animals for dietary purposes so it's not that shocking at all to me[/QUOTE] Commercial slaughter is usually humane and never (to my knowledge) carried out for amusement. Really awful comparison.
Here's a Different source: [url]http://www.newjerseynewsroom.com/international/video-us-soldiers-in-afghanistan-slaughter-sheep-with-baseball-bat[/url] [quote]According to the LiveLeaks, the brutal incident took place on Nov. 6 and as an indispensable part of the holy festival of Eid. The website goes on describing that the barbaric slaughter was: “to represent a sacrifice made by Abraham of a ram when the angels told him that he had fulfilled the dream ordering him to sacrifice his young son, at which he laid down the knife and sacrificed the animal instead...” [/quote] Apparently it's a traditional thing for Ramadan. [url]http://www.politicallycrap.com/2011/08/u-s-soldiers-deliver-sheep-for-ramadan-slaughter-in-afghanistan/[/url] Not that such a tradition should be partaken in this day and age. Fuck at least kill the thing humanely. But than again Halal slaughter has never been humane.

Also you can do a sacrifice and kill the animal instantly or at least without bludgeoning it with a baseball until all of its bones are broken and that it drops dead from pain and injury.

[QUOTE=Ganerumo;34188667]Regardless of what group these soldiers belong to, they are still fucking retarded. [/QUOTE] Oh I agree wholeheartedly. They are sick and twisted to do such a thing. But they are not, by any measure of the term, ambassadors of the United States. In an organization as large as the US military is, there are bound to be some bad apples.
Just fyi, I'm not defending or supporting these guys, I'm just saying they had a bullshit reason for doing it. I don't support inhumane slaughter for any reason.
This is your typical bad apple in the bunch scenario. We get a few loons like these who beat sheep to death, urinate on corpses, and shoot park rangers, and everyone thinks that is an accurate representation of our country/armed forces/government.

That's really fucked up. I just a really nasty feeling in the pit of my stomach. I wish I hadn't watched that. The bat hitting the sheep's head is what really did it for me. The guy with the bat wasn't in any sort of uniform. He was wearing Nikes by the look of it. Is it for certain he's a US servicemember?
I couldn't keep watching it after I started hearing the sheep let out a miserable bah. You could feel the agony in it.

[QUOTE=Sickle;34188879]This, the jew's ye olde rabbi-mouth-based circumcision and the catholic church's molestation of small deaf boys is a clear representation of the absolutely archaic design religion represents.[/QUOTE] Personally I think religion will never stop existing, but I also think it needs some drastic changes. Hopefully the upcoming generations (which have grown up with the internet, have seen several good changes happen, etc) will change all that, but it will take time and most importantly it's actual religious people who will have to change religion, or else it will never work.
