In a cohesive combat unit with good morale and a mascot, anyone who ordered the mascot shot should find himself facing several muzzles -- not of the canine variety.

Our CO got pissed off at the "lax" attitude and ordered them all shot (he was a miserable, petty little prick...incompetent too). Glad the guy in the clip was able to work it out so he could take his dog back to the States. Sometimes it's the little things out there (like pets and keepsakes) that do the most to keep you sane and help you through.
