Can you see the reason I never want to admit I was once a dog handler for the military?

Never again will I admit I was a dog handler for the military. Read on:......*** The abuse of Abu Ghraib prisoners undermines U.S. efforts to bring democracy to Iraq, an Army prosecutor told a military jury tasked with sentencing a *dog handler* for using his animal to torment a detainee.

Army Sgt. Santos A. Cardona was convicted Thursday of dereliction of duty and aggravated assault for allowing his Belgian shepherd to bark within inches of a prisoner's face. Sentencing deliberations were scheduled to resume Friday.

Cardona became the 11th soldier convicted of crimes stemming from the abuse of inmates at the prison in late 2003 and early 2004. He faces a maximum penalty of 3 1/2 years in prison, a dishonorable discharge and forfeiture of all pay and allowances.

During a two-hour sentencing hearing the judge stated the military must be eating Crow food day in and day out.

I can see why, but you do not do that . So you should be proud of what you did . You can not speak for other. It is not your fault the other did that. Be proud !!

Seems a bit extreme to me to deny your background because some other idiot did something stupid. I would never deny my military background just because someone else abused their power.

I see nothing but support for you, you probably did a good thing, I am sure that this dog handler is probably taking a rap for a superior officer, that is usually the case. This whole follow orders thing goes right up to Bush he is the one that should be serving a sentence.

Oh BOO HOO. A filthy terrorist, someone who tried to protect Saddam's evil, brutal regime was frightened by a big doggie.

When I hear about Abu Ghraib, I'm struck by the night and day difference between how it operated under Saddam, and how it operated under our military control. Under Saddam, it had REAL torture cells, where people's bones were broken, shoulders were ripped out of their sockets, people had hands cut off, men were forced to watch their wife or daughter raped by some filthy guard.

Under our control, nothing happened that was much different than a fraternity hazing. We used psychological duress; Saddam used savage beatings and amputation of limbs. Saddam let the dogs attack. We just let the prisoners think that danger existed if they didn't cooperate.

I'm so sick of the U.S. treating prisoners a hundred times better than they would be treated in their own country, and have the world denouce us as if we were abusing them.

In Guantanemo Bay, Cuba, the prisoners all have nice clean clothes, healthy meals, two showers a week, a Koran, sunlight, and importantly...a safe environment. Compare that to what they would get if they were imprisoned in their own country. Forget clean clothes. They'd get washed maybe once every few months. Showers? Are you kidding? The food? Well, try to ignore the rat feces and the maggots. Prisoners would be thrown into some dark, dank hell hole where they would be menaced by other prisoners while the guards ignored "the animals".

So, we have Saddam's terror prisons that reminiscent of the movie, "Hostel", compared to the U.S. run prisons that engaged in psysically harmless fraternity hazing to extract important information.

Many prisoners in Guantanemo have never been so healthy, well fed, or squeaky clean in their lives. They may regret having to go back home where the conditions are so much more primitive.

You are your own person. Never be ashamed of your military service.

I can't believe you actually served your country sir. To hear the way you talk about our great Nation and it's service Men and Women is appalling. Thank God that's all they let you handle in the military.

now i think that that is only one instance of a person abusing their power against another person. i dont think too many people would associate you with that, this is realy the first time ive heard of any issues with animals and abu ghraib. as long as you didnt do these actions and its something that you were proud of i think you should be able to tell people what you do without embarassment

How horrible! Getting barked at! Abuse! Abuse! My panties are in knots!

Sorry, but I don't feel that getting barked at is all that terrible of abuse or worthy of note. I suppose it's because I'm not a prissy wimp.

Same with all the 'terrible' abuse of having to wear panties or whatever humiliation the prisoners underwent. The only problem was those idiots went and recorded it - and the media and loopies went bonkers.

You see it only takes one person to disgrace everyone. If you behaved in the same manner with your dogs, you should be ashamed. If not, you should stand up for yourself. Dogs only do what their trainers ask of them.

By the way, were you at Clark AFB in 1975?


psd1941
Thank God you did not say yourself as a dog once. You said only dog handler.


thewildeman2
Why do you keep digging for excuses to belittle yourself and our military like this? I've seen your posts on both this and your other name and this is about all you do. You obviously have a problem and need to seek help.

Check this out. Your neighbor has the same kind of car as you (for example purposes) and goes out and runs over someone. Do you give up your car because of your neighbor? You may as well from the way you talk. Stop trying to take responsibility for other peoples actions. Go to a therapist and get some help. And, like already stated, quit bashing our troops!

It's too bad a few "Bad Eggs" has to spoil the whole bunch. Just be proud of who you are and thank you for serving our country.

Isn't the dog considered a soldier also, and if so, then why cant the dog yell at the prisoner I mean after all he doesn't want to be over there either? Why would they punish the soldiers partner they should punish the dog.

Marines just killed a bunch of innoncent civilians in Iraq. So from here on out, all marines should never disclose that they were once a Marine?


partlycloudy
Your screen name uses the words K-9 Military...I don't think you're really ashamed of it at all -- and you shouldn't be. You should be proud of your service, yet you choose to dishonor yourself, the military and your country constantly. I don't understand it.
