    My buddy is stationed in Khandahar. Says the best part of his day is coming home from patrol and seeing this mangy stray that hangs around the outpost perk up and walk over to him. Dogs are the best animals.

    1. I actually am under the impression that strays are not welcomed on post when overseas, heard they shoot em

      ^Sometimes. It depends on who knows about the animal. Our warrant officer shot one of the dogs we had in Afghan but he didn’t know about the “pet” fox we had at one of the OP’s.

      That is completely false, no one shoots strays. First off if we did and someone took a picture or a video we would be all over the news; IE the pissing video. So we don’t take the risk. Second, a stray wouldn’t come on base unless brought in. I do not think they can jump over barbed wire fencing about 10ft tall just saying. If they are brought in they are checked for small pox and other biological weapons as well as bombs that they may have been fed. So Idk what unit you are with USMC_fratstar but I’m sure you’re NROTC and you’re teachings of what happened is bull shit. Yes awesome fucking story.

      Dogs aren’t shot for fun, but if a big dog is running towards you it gets a bullet. Sad, but true.

      Funny I’ve actually been combat deployed to Afghanistan and Iraq do I’m pretty fucking sure I know something about the fucking strays. And yes they get shot some times by asshole warrant officers so do the world a favor and shut the fuck up.

      Oh really you were deployed twice once to Afghanastan and once to Iraq so unless you are almost 30 years old or deployed right this second you are a complete liar. Marine presence in Afghanstan was non existent after 04 and picked back up last year. A Marine deploys from 8-13 months so I assume you’re saying your infantry no specialization so 13 months, therefore you’re a bull shit liar. I also doubt you went to Iraq because if you talk to any vet who did anything beside nation building you know that when you talk about your deployment you refer to providence not country. Also bases for the Marines are set up before we arrive in the area minus Fellujah and Ramadi where the bases were built in teams with SEALs and Recon Marines. The standard base has a 10ft high barbed wire permitter so no there are no stray dogs on base minus those previously checked. I can continue to call you out for lying and insulting the Corp. Oh one less thing unless you are SO WOs do not at all interact with enlisted nor do they carry weapons on base…..
