I MEAN, SERIOUSLY, WTF.
IS OUR MILITARY EMOTIONALLY RETARDED OR WHAT?!
What part of shooting our troop's pets in the head is going to help them through the trauma they've put them through?! Are they seriously trying to raise suicide rates among those returning home? Because they're doing a damn good job of it.
Edit: Even arguing about communicable diseases doesn't work. The dog's been paid to go back home. There's enough people who will donate money so it can be checked out by a vet prior to being flown home. Shooting Ratchet is not the answer.
You might as well argue that we should be shooting Iraqi children in the head after soldiers interact with them, owing to the fact they're human and able to pass communicable diseases to our troops much more readily than a dog.
Edit 2: Update to the story can be found in the comments section of the Digg Article about it, here.
