USMC Tosses Puppy-Throwing Marine

Posted Jun 12, 08 12:00 PM CDT in US 

(Newser) – One Marine is being expelled and another punished for their roles in the YouTube video posted in March that showed a puppy being thrown off an Iraq cliff, reports the AP. Lance Cpl. David Motari is "being processed for separation" from the Marine Corps—he and the Marine accused of taping the puppy's death also received unspecified "non-judicial punishment."

"The actions seen in the Internet video are contrary to the high standards we expect of every Marine and will not be tolerated," the Marine Corps said in a news release.
