As an 8 year old, would YOU want to be returned home to your mom who you KNOW killed your dad? That's FAR more cruel than this alleged puppy incident in war time. When put in context, it's just an anti-war ploy for those who are anti-war. These same folks who produce such stories to soothe their own guilt and forward their own self-centered ideals don't show up at the 8 year old's door to defend her from her killer mom do they? Which is more important? The 8 year old, of course! But for most of us, it's about the emotional knee-jerk reaction, that's why this story 'sells'.... we'll continue to feel awful for the puppy (which is a normal human reaction) and never bat an eye at the 8 year old who has to live a life of he** with her killer mom.
Interesting how we only hear the bad things about war in our news media. Where are all the good stories? There are plenty of them, but obviously these stories don't 'sell'. We live in a Jerry Springer age, isn't it wonderful?
