Our Beauchampian Media: ABC First Out of the Gate To Blame Puppy-Kill on Bush's Illegal War of Choice

"According to some psychologists," you understand.

Their headline?

Was Killing the Puppy a Way of Coping for One Marine?

Stressful Environment May Have Contributed to Marine Apparently Tossing a Dog to His Death

The media is ever eager to malign our soldiers -- except when a larger target, such as the president or war itself, presents itself. In that case, apparent psychopaths are explained away as casualties of "the system."

Note well they're not even absolving these soldiers -- what in fact they're doing is indicting all soldiers, because by fixing blame not on a trio of low-grade sociopaths unfit to wear the uniform but on the military itself, they're indicting all soldiers as would be killers of humans as well as puppies.

Gee, thanks for your "defense" of the troops, ABCNews. With friends like you, our soldiers don't need Al Qaeda.
