War is an ugly thing. But this video of Taliban insurgents who’ve taken a US military dog as hostage after a firefight in Afghanistan? No. These injustices CANNOT STAND.
A Taliban spokesperson tells the Washington Post, “The mujahideen valorously put tough resistance against the troops for hours” and the military dog was the fruits of their stand.
The video, below, featuring the unidentified soldier pooch was initially disseminated through a Taliban propaganda Twitter account.
Former dog handlers for the Air Force told the Post that the dog was likely taken into custody by the Taliban soldiers because conditions were too violent for his human US soldier counterparts to retrieve him.
Here’s hoping that something is done to free Lieutenant Scraps (not his real name but it probably should be) from his captors. I’m also not ruling out that this is all a clever ruse on the dog’s part and that he’s planning on doling out some justice on the men holding him unjustly. Iron Man style, if possible.
