but what if a military dog has a dog?
Biteenplatre
Having beings of lesser intelligence in command is not a surprise with the army

...er, because respecting rank comes just ahead of being a fucking moron?
SAAVIK
Same should be done for women. Oh opps like that is ever going to happen.

A traditional? Lmao

*tradition- not traditional. Why is the grammar in so many of these posts fucked up? Who can’t proofread 24 words? Pull it together. Fuck.

You forgot to put a full stop at the end of your sentence, you stupid cunt.
AntrimEarth
You’re right. Forgive me. I was a different person back then.

Never apologize. Never surrender.

I don't understand how you end up as a dog handler if you're the type of person to mistreat the dog in the first place.
JiujitsuPancake
The same reason crappy mechanics end up as mechanics, the same reason politicians end up running the country, the same reason ad infinitum
beaubrent
Twenty times posting this in the last week is enough.
Shakazulakhan
It's cute that you call them "levels" and not Ranks.
Porfirij
i feel a doggo being a doggo should be guarantee enough it doesn't get mistreated, but then i remember this is unfortunately not true...
mjkosmic
Thats actually pretty fuckin cool

Dog has reflective pt belt on him, almost as if they're in training.

Maybe it was clipped

It... Is a weapon, yes, but it's specifically a gun.

He's clearly using his dog as ammo.
PrivateIsotope
Think his superior chewed him out for it?
lnboxMeYourPUGS

Maybe a few bites
PrivateIsotope
More like, his gun had no bark and no bite.

I keep seeing this meme, but is there any truth to it, or are we just accepting this?
walkingtallmachinegunman
Technically yes, but its a dumb ass idea. Same outcome could be achieved by simply adding animal abuse to UCMJ
SweepTheLegsJohnny
As a MWD handler, yes, but dogs having rank is like a cat having a badge. Not much they're gonna do with it
sheshotyouinthehat
I was a dog handler with the Marines IDD program in 2011, for us the Dog was a rank higher.
bezuer
I see – you ever wrote Dog with a capital "D"
BeardedGhost
Literally, no. Respectfully, yes. It's not black and white.
JayEnfield
Obviously, unless it's a dalmatian.
davebeastly
I'm still confused.
derock789
I think it means that if you mistreat your dog it counts as disrespecting an officer or something. Doesn't mean the dog is in charge tho.
GnomeblasterGaming
It's exactly that.
iAntichristx666
My unit mascot, a bulldog, lost rank for shitting in my COs office. Multiple people actually put in paperwork and time to make this happen.
iAntichristx666
Not sure if mascot is the correct term. He was a great dog and a fine addition to the unit.
sppwalker
That is amazing. Did he actually do anything or was he just there to be cute/a companion? (The bulldog, not the CO)
Fawndler
Glad you clarified. Some of us weren't sure
Hetuni
Well? Did the bulldog do anything other than moral support?
bakerdays
POS Marine let his dog die in afghan, found out he wasnt feeding/hydrating the dog. So no, not true for everyone.
sheshotyouinthehat
This could have/ should have been sent up as a charge by his command.
Peanutchews
The hell? Did no one else see the dog prior to its death? Did that pos go to jail?
bakerdays
As far as anyone else seeing it, probably not, each marine either had their kennels near themselves or had the dogs with them at all times
bakerdays
He was in a different platoon so I’m not 100%, but I think he got NJP’d and busted down.
Deadpoolio7
So if The President has a dog does that actually make the dog President?
davebeastly
Boof.
Topstar
No he'd be a rank higher so the dog would be super-president
squashj
King President Pupper, Overlord of the West.
IvorJBiggun
If the vice president's dog rates higher than the VP, is it equal to the POTUS?

Honestly at this point a GSD could run this country better...

SelfPleasureRobot
Keep saying shit like that and youre gonna end up in Gitmo.
IndyAndyJones
I don't think president is a military rank, the military rank is Commander-in-Chief, so the dog would be whatever is above that.
youwillneverguessmyrealname
Commander-of-Cats
Raptor052
Captain-in-Chief?
Grenther
Corgimander-in-chief
IndyAndyJones
My understanding is that anyone who has earned a congressional medal of honor and lived, everyone, even the command-in-chief, has to (1/X)
IndyAndyJones
salute them first. Maybe the dog is like that
opheleon
Yeah. But if a (five-star) General had a service dog, it theoretically may be eligible to a (six-star) General of the Armies rank.
pyrrhlis
And therefore he’d be regarded equally to George Washington?
Marikhen
The dog would then be the Chief Commander-in-Chief.
