     After viewing the video online of the United States soldier throwing an innocent puppy off a cliff I thought to myself, why would any normal minded human do a thing like this. but then i thought back to this indivudals situation. He is constantly surrounded by death, he’s in a war that no one back home supports anymore, and his friends are dying every day for absoultly no reason. So why should he care about one dogs life? This issue is being addressed as a social change, from a family man in the United States, to a heartless soldier surrounded by death. The values of this soldier has decreassed immensely. There was a social friendship between the two soldiers in the video. The power arangements in the situation was clear that the soldiers in this video were low ranked foot soldiers, whom because of their actios have given the high ranked American generals and captains a bad name. The Inequality is tward the dog. If someone were to do something like this in America, law enforcement would be involved. The inequality is also for the soldier. What ever he has gone through in iraq to make him so heartless. The soldier made a very irational choice in this video. He killed a small dog for nothing but the fun of watching an innocent dog die.
