You may remember my disgusted rant about Lance Corporal David Motari a while back. He’s the wonderful, upstanding soldier who threw the innocent puppy off a cliff to his death a few months ago. It seems that the US Marines have finished with their internal investigation and have decided to process Mr. Motari, as he will be now known, for dismissal. I, for one, applaud our miltary for doing the right thing in letting this psycho go. Like I alluded to before, he is a disgrace to the unform he (used to) wear, and I have talked to a few former Marines who would like to teach this guy a little something about respect – not only for animals, but for himself, his country, his comrades, and the uniform he represents. Too many bloggers (and commenters to this blog) out there are willing to give this man the benefit of the doubt and make excuses for his actions. Violence should not beget violence, and it should never be tolerated. Yes, I know, I have never been in the situation, but to shrug it off and say “well, he’s seen some bad stuff” is not the correct reaction to the act.
I have to say, I obviously glad to see this man dismissed of his duties, but I do fear for any and all animals that cross this man’s path in his civilian life. No doubt a man of that mental capacity will now see all animals as “the reason he was kicked out of the service” and probably will carry out unspeakable acts upon them as revenge. There is no excuse for that behavior. There is much evil within a man who could do such a thing. Evil that cannot be fixed or removed from a person.
