Maybe it's cyanotic.

Bless him. Bless that boy.

/blubbering mess now, thank you :)

This headline:

Soldier reunited with the dogs he saved from starvation in Afghanistan. Your dog wants a steak after he gets that watery stuff out of his eyes

Now, three headlines down:

The Pentagon has 27,000 people involved in PR, recruiting, and advertising. The entire State Department has 30,000 people

Hrm, surprised I am not.

I hope someone filmed it and set it to Whitney Houston's "And I Will Always Love You"

TwistedFark: Hrm, surprised I am not.

I'm the leftiest lefty who ever hefted a protest sign, and I think the war in Afghanistan was necessary. It was mismanaged from almost the get go, but that's not the fault of the guy with the dogs.

let it go man. this is a doggerday thread.

And how many dogs will be euthanized today because nobody wants them?

Not that I have anything against dogs or this story... the world is a farked up place.

what_now:

Sorry, I'm a 'Ban era cet.
Won't forget the lie before or now, and one of you says hold on as tight as you can there, and the other is saying let it go?
That's why I can't forget.
You guys are too willing to grab a warm fuzzy handed to you to look teh other way.
Someone has to remember the lies.
Yes, he saved some dogs.
Dogs die all teh time here in AMerica.
People die all teh time here, too.
They die of cold, and starvation.
But we can afford to lie and kill for lies, and if the link source had been other than a prepayed ad by teh former administration, I mighn't be so sbarky.

You guys are assholes.

the guy is a STAFF SARGENT. He's not making decisions, he's not the one who farked up the economy.

He's a guy with a dog for christsakes. It's a nice story.

/hate you biatches

Unavailable for comment.

/yes, I'm aware the article is about dogs almost starving to death, not people eating dogs or other people instead of dogs

1) you are drunk
2) posting on fark may feel good, but doesn't do jack shiat other than serve as a space for you to type out (badly) some inner anger you need to get out in a more productive way.

They do one of these 'soldier who rescued from reunited stateside with said animal' every year.

Fark politics


/Violet welcomes you to the U.S. Jack and Emma

Wow, that didn't work out very well, lets try that again.

They do one of these 'soldier who rescued (insert animal here)from (insert war-torn country here) reunited stateside for a happy ending' every year.

Maybe it doesn't bother you that the Pentagon spends over half a billion dollars a year spinning the American public, but hey to each his own. Me personally, I don't feel that the military having its own motives other than following their mission works out too well.

For reference see: WWII Germany, WWII Japan, Egypt, Pakistan, Zimbabwe, Uganda, Nigeria, Burma, Haiti, Thailand, Phillipines, Ivory Coast, Gamiba, Georgia... the list goes on and on.

The military shouldn't spend a single cent to influence public debate or opinion at home. Leave that to the politicians. They should instead just follow their mission, the one laid out for them by the President and Congress, who are answerable to the public at the polls.

I can't imagine that there would be a single rational adult who wouldn't be automatically distrustful of any public relations spin attempt by the military, but evidently some people don't even blink at this shiat. They probably buy Snuggies and Sham-Wow's too; It's a sad state of affairs in America these days.

A hug for Staff Sgt. Daniel Barker, Adam Krause and Jack and Emma. Thanks and you rock.

Now I need to get a tissue, got something in my eye...

I have a 'talking' dog that I should have named Gabby! Great name!

I like a good troll as much as the next guy, but some of you are way over reaching. Let it go.

Of course, it's easy for me to say that, since whenever I came home from hauling all those Mark 82s on their one-way trip downtown, Max was there for me. 'Scuse me...I got something in my eye.

I guess the rules of engagement have changed.

FTFA :When he is out on missions and sees awful things, he comes back to his dog, Jack, and is able to have comfort,"

Pretty much says it all. Nothing is better the the comfort of a dog's never-ending love and loyalty.

Dude, it's a heartwarming story about dogs and a kindhearted soldier.

My nephew is being deployed to Afghanistan next month and my niece may be redeployed after two tours in Iraq, so I'm as angry as the next person, but man - channel that rage into some useful action and just wallow in the puppy love here and now.

Some mind-wipe for JimmyCarter'sSecondTerm's post (if it's what I think it is).

Child and His Dog (new window)

Every one of you who can't appreciate this little story has some very serious issues with life. Just unclench your butts for a MINUTE and try to enjoy this, okay?

That's a rhetorical question, geniuses.

Seek help psycho! You are a sad excuse for a human being. Did your mother have any children who lived?

The problem is that your very reasonable and respectable pro-family feelings are being counted on and used by people who don't give a shiat about your family or about dogs. The dog thing is propaganda.

How many humans need saving from starvation?

Sentimental trash.

I really must have had something in my eye. Max was my first great dog...circa 1974. Buddy came later. Both were paragons of virtue, bravery and loyalty.

/some of you guys clearly never had a dog that good
//your life is poorer for it
///and you will never understand

Attention morons: NO ONE CARES IF IT IS PROPAGANDA. Don't you get it? It's just a nice story! But I guess your kind isn't satisfied unless the whole world is as miserable and dim as you are. Whatever. I'm closing this tab and going to go find some more fun stuff to look at. Enjoy wallowing in misery.

can everyone here fark off back to PETA?

Bob is getting a kick out of your replies.

It's good to be skeptical. But it's more important to be able to differentiate between facts and BS. And one must be able to do this all the time, for each individual incident.

"Slack-jawed credulity" is as useless as "reflexive disbelief."

"Discerning" is what one should shoot for if one wishes for an accurate view of reality.

Suede head: How many humans need saving from starvation?

So the right thing to do would have been to what - let the dogs starve to make a point?

You know what? I can get enough bitterness and raging against the machine at work from people who don't do a goddamned farking thing but fellate themselves with moral superiority while not lifting a finger to affect any real change. I'm *really* not looking for more of the same in a blessed dog thread, but thanks for your kind efforts at pissing in everyone's Cheerios.

The pentagon spent $1.2 billion importing dogs to Afghanistan, just so it could show soldiers saving a few of them when they weren't bombing villages to build a pipeline.

And you sheep fell for it.

And yet you can't field a rational counterpoint to his valid argument. Methinks you need to switch from Fox News to MSNBC. I'd recommend something like the BBC or CBC for a different take on world events, however you'd probably throw poo at the screen after having an aneurysm.

The fact of the matter is that this is either concrete evidence of governmental bloat on an epic scale, and they are probably using that accounting classification to pay spies and other people trying to destroy the constitution. Either way, our money is being wasted at an astronomical rate.
