In reply to the discussion: Ex-soldier recorded fatally shooting service dog found dead [View all]Blazesweetie
(42 posts)42. Awful and sad
Hate reading any kind of story where dogs are treated like this. I don't know what to think about this vet but I have a hard time excusing this type of action.
I was a civilian living as a spouse in Korea back in the 80s and it in no way "sucked." In fact, it was very nice. South Korea, at least in the Seoul region, was quite cosmopolitan back then and they treated the soldiers fairly well from what I could tell. My husband (now ex) was a low-level enlisted guy. I also worked at a neighboring Air Force Base and again I thought they did pretty well - affordable off-base housing, pretty good quality of life over all. Not sure what it's like now.

So far as I have read, her overseas service was limited to 4 months in Korea. No combat.
