Mitch - great point and well said. I think you are absolutely right. I think that’s the only way we save the world.

A boy walks on a beach where thousands of starfish are stranded and begins throwing them back in the ocean. A man comes along and asks the boy why he’s making the futile effort. “What difference does it make?” he asks. The boy throws another starfish in the water and says, “it makes a difference to that one.” Am I wrong to believe that sometimes we save the world one heartbeat at a time?

I think it’s kind of silly whoever said that if someone wanted to attack Canada, they had to go through “America”. I don’t know about you guys, but I studied geography in school, and there’s this cool thing that the die hard hill billies might not know about, called an ocean. Well yea, they can just cross this ocean and bypass the United States (Because the term “America” encompasses the US, Canada, Central, and South America) and there we go, Canada time.
As for those that think that the Marines or any soldier in Iraq are protecting our freedom, you are sadly mistaken, and I feel sorry for you, to be so blinded by our media as to think this is true. Check out any other country’s news stations, and you’ll get more truth than anything we hear here. What the Marines are doing there is protecting our Oil investments.
Great, you saved a dog, but I agree with the other posters, what about the women and children that are slaughtered in the cross fire of this war?
Please educate yourselves before posting, thanks.

I was the corpsman/ medic of the team…we were all glad that NUBS is doing well now. Nubs can’t even eat the first day we brought him to our base. I was the first one to feed him a POPTARTS. Major called me the dog whisperer coz no one else can’t feed NUBS at one point. I also drain pus from his infected wound and eventaully healed now. It was really a TEAM DOG…but only one can be the master.

Two or three unrelated things. While we are feeling touched by this story, letâ€™s all go to the local animal shelter and volunteer, or adopt an animal, or investigate how many of these sweet animals are slaughtered each year because some goddamned idiot didnâ€™t get his/her pet spayed or neutered.

Then, people, please know that the marines in Iraq arenâ€™t fighting to keep us free. They are but cogs in the larger wheel of violence we perpetrate on the world, for Hailburtonâ€™s profit and oil for ourselves and our gas guzzling vehicles and lifestyles.

I raised two marines myself, and I know they are brave.

Feel good about the dog rescue and then go out and rescue a poor shelter animal yourselvesâ€“ But think hard about our propensity for making war on innocent people for no reason except greed and ignorance.

After spending 100s billions $ on a war, do you really think that the “News Machine” could not spend 10s thousands $ on this stage show. Such a nice story to hear while approx. 7,000 Iraqs die each month. Well done.

These people who don’t support our troops disgust me. You should try living in a country without the freedoms we are privileged to have here. I do not support our presence in Iraq, but I support the troops, and give our troops the upmost respect for following their orders to be stationed in a dangerous area.

As far as the individuals throwing the dog off the cliff, and others who do stupid things, they should not cause the tens of thousands of military personnel to be immediately labeled sick bastards, assholes, or whatever else you SCUM decide to call them

Back on subject, This is a awesome story, I hope Nubs will live a happy life in the US, hopefully with his owner very soon.

Im all for the american forces keeping dogs in a warzone. i feel safer knowing there is at least something intelligent in the camp.

and beth, canada has nothing to worry about, not because the terrorists have to go through the usa to get to them, but because the terrorists have absolutely no desire or need to attack them, face it the whole world hates you, lol

lol awe this was what I was waiting for…Lol this is funny. You honestly think we ridicule your forces! And stop speaking in slang you big ol’ meanie. So you have a son over in iraq that would be why you care so much and there’s nothing wrong with that. Though to be honest I supported you I’m suprised your so pissed. Awe this is too fun, oh well there really is no changing American’s mind set your so called glorious army is what’s covering your giant economic collapse. And omg whose gonna invade us what do you mean they have to come through you guys first?! Oh the american way or thinking lol I love how you think we have no military I hope that you know that many of your planes are mimics of the famous avero arrow too bad our goverment hadn’t realized its potential. And listen our forces are fighting in afganistan against terror just as much as you guys are in iraq so get off your american high horse(which is dead) and get back to reality. By the way on the internet I have never won but, I have never lost either! lol something to think about.

OH YEAH! It’s funny that after 2 days of relocating the dog had found them again! lol you guys phail at hiding.

Tridead, you say you never lose an internet fight right after you say its impossible to win an internet fight. That’s just one of your inconsistencies.

Thank your lucky stars you are Canadian. You can afford to be a pacifist because you have the protection of us mean ol’ Americans. They have to come through us to get to you. Your tax dollars can go to all sorts of things, you don’t have to worry about defense. You can run your silly mouths about the infidels to your south because your freedom of speech is guaranteed. What would happen if you had to defend yourselves against an invader or an ideology that is determined to destroy your country and way of life? Could you? Enjoy your freedom and your ability to criticize America for being such a big ol’ meanie.

BTW - I know exactly who we are fighting over there. My son spent 15 months in Baghdad. I know who the enemy is and what is being fought over. If you listened to vets of that war (besides the few that the leftist put up in front of the cameras to further their political agendas) you would know too. This is a real war and its a real threat and you are living in a fantasy if you think otherwise.

Ok, ok, I was reading this story when I was stumbling around and took one look at this article and said ah whatever. But, the comments! You people who think were in a world where we fight for our freedom and that freedom is threatened left and right by terrorists are blind. Freedom has pretty much given Americans a reason to swear at each other. I’m Canadian and I have no reason to give any damn about what goes on with America but I’ll let you people know something. #1 The US invaded iraq on false pretenses and are now currently holding their position in iraq because of it’s oil its become known as the oil war. #2 I hope to God you do not believe that you are fighting iraqi soldiers because your not. 3# US and Britian and Austrialia’s presence in iraq are not slowing terrorism anymore than when they were not occupying iraq. People like Ben and Rory realize that these little stories are meant to blind the public of the war. Im not saying your marines are bad people, they’re probebly great people. But, their motive and orders in iraq are extremely questionable. And on a side note please if you are not computer savy in anyways take it from me you cannot fight someone on the internet and win, your morals will get shot down with the anomony of the internet. Take 4chan for example P.S I never lose in a internet fight!

Ben,
Yea we had the freedom before THIS WAR, but it was these people that keep the freedom going…….you say the freedom was not threatened, were you standing next to me as the WTC was attacked?
