Army stops Iraq GI from bringing puppy home - Military- msnbc.com
“[Beberg] said Iraqis view dogs and cats as nuisances and carriers of disease, and U.S. soldiers have rescued many of them from abuse.”
This is a terrific example of how being completely self-concerned and refusing to consider the larger picture can hurt!
If we allow one girl to bring a stray dog home from Iraq simply on the basis of the too-sweet picture plastered all over msn.com, where goes the authority of the Department of Defense? Where goes concern for the health of our men and women in the combat zone?
This sounds like a slippery slope we should avoid. Hate to say it, but the army is exactly right here.
