    BTW, in response to the blanket comment that "Soldiers don't care", BULL!

    Blanket statements about a group of people who are a cross section of American society are inaccurate at best. Most soldiers care very much about what happens to family members, and that includes any pets they may have.

    In some cases, however, they run out of help. Shelters and kennels don't want to provide long term care (1yr +/-) for an animal, sometimes families aren't in any position to help out, and that leaves a soldier with damned few options when it comes to taking care of pets while they are deployed.

    I'd be interested in where you came across this info to begin with, as there are few if any permanent party personnel deploying out of FT McCoy, only reservists and national guard troops who are not allowed to have pets while they are in pre-deployment training.
    The one eyed man in the kingdom of the blind wasn't king, he was stoned for seeing light.

    Yeah, soldiers don't care
    Obviously you are very unaware. View that documentary on the war dogs and look at that site I posted. "Soldiers that don't care" don't break down in tears over a dog they couldn't bring back home with them. Before making statements like that, do some research.

    I did the right thing by setting you free
    But the pain is very deep.
    If only I could turn back time, forever, you I'd keep.
    I miss you


    I hear you whimper in your sleep
    I gently pet you and say, no bad dreams
    It will be alright, to my dog as dark as night.

    Fur as dark as the night.
    Join me on this flight.
    Paws of love that follow me.
    In my heart you'll forever be.

    How I wish I could hold you near.
    Turn back time to make it so.
    Hug you close and never let go.
