U.S. Marines To Investigate Video of Soldiers Urinating on Corpses

[ABikerSailor]

Of course not everyone in the military is a good person. Obviously you've made up your mind without any direct experience. I get it. Many Conservatives are only understanding and / or sympathetic toward those who fit neatly in the "worthy of sympathy by Conservatives" box.
You're exactly the same - just the Liberal version.

Actually, not everyone in the military is a good person. Over the 20 years that I served from 1982 until 2002, here are some of the things that I saw...........

Working at NATTC in the mid 80's, there was a prostitution ring ran by female Marines.

During that time, I also saw a man accidentally kill his wife and carry her around in the trunk of her car for a week. The reason he was caught? The gate guard smelled the body. Apparently, he'd pushed her, she fell and caught a corner on the way down.

Also have processed paperwork on an MCPO who got kicked out and lost his retirement. What did he do? He was caught molesting his stepson.

In the mid 90's while stationed with a squadron, saw one of the mechs get arrested at the command by civilian AND military police. He'd raped one of his airmen at a party at his house, and yes......he was married.

So no. Not everyone in the military is a good person.

You realize I just said "not everyone in the military is a good person" right?

I've seen what you've seen and worse. Oh and if I gave the impression that I don't think these guys should be disciplined, let me correct that. They should. What I think is sad, is that it probably will be WAY disproportionate to the offense because this thing has become a PR and policital clusterfck.

Well.......these are 4 men I would rank in the category of those I just listed. Why? Violation of not only military, but INTERNATIONAL rules of war, and that, combined with the clusterfuck it has caused (international incident), these men should be given a General Courts Martial (because of the Geneva Conventions thing), and then if found guilty, should be given a Bad Conduct Discharge.

Why yeyus! Why don't we just let INTERNATIONAL law dictate to us in all matters. Do you really think interantional 'rules of engagement' are meant to facilitate a win by the US? I, personally, want a win by the US in every battle we fight.

Wrong again my friend. Pretty much my entire family is conservative(why the hell do you think we're in Texas to begin with?), and I am entirely understanding, sympathetic and loving towards all of them. My humanity doesn't have a political filter.

The problem is that people like cowpile are so adamant for war to be politically correct that eventually the US will end up in the same place the Confederacy with all its talk of chivalry ended up.

This is America. We can criticize the government, even the military if we so choose. I have no problem with that. The problem I have is the miltary weakening itself in order to placate them. The response to this should have been 'Ladies and gentlemen we are at war. We will fight that war the way we see fit with or without your approval.'

My only beef with this is the camera.

Not urinating on the corpses of our enemies doesn't weaken us, you idiot. It shows our strength of will and discipline when our soldiers act professionally and not like a rag tag group of radical militants.

Why do you even have a beef with the camera? You should applaud that it was filmed since it shows to the world how big our dicks are, and how low our soldiers are willing to debase themselves in shows of intimidation.

Yeah. So I gues have issue with American Indians for scalping their kill!

Why don't you enlist, you idiot. Then you can speak with authority. Oh wait! I know why you don't. Because you are chicken shit!

Apparently, you've never been in the military, otherwise you would understand just how stupid that statement was. ALL NATO countries have signed them, and ALL NATO countries (of which we are one) has to comply with them.

Then..........there's the whole Code of Conduct thing which was created by our military for our troops, to define exactly how we as members of the military would conduct ourselves. That is local, not international, and incidentally.............the Code of Conduct follows pretty much what the Geneva Conventions say when it comes to warfare.

Do you even know what they are?

The Geneva Conventions comprise four treaties, and three additional protocols, that establish the standards of international law for the humanitarian treatment of the victims of war. The singular term Geneva Convention denotes the agreements of 1949, negotiated in the aftermath of the Second World War (1939–45), which updated the terms of the first three treaties (1864, 1906, 1929), and added a fourth treaty. The articles of the Fourth Geneva Convention (1949) extensively defined the basic rights of prisoners (civil and military) during war; established protections for the wounded; and established protections for the civilians in and around a war zone. The treaties of 1949 were ratified, in whole or with reservations, by 194 countries.[1] The Geneva Convention also defines the rights and protections of non-combatants.

Moreover, because the Geneva Conventions are about people in war, the articles do not address warfare proper — the use of weapons of war — which is the subject of the Hague Conventions (First Hague Conference, 1899; Second Hague Conference 1907), and the bio–chemical warfare Geneva Protocol (Protocol for the Prohibition of the Use in War of Asphyxiating, Poisonous or other Gases, and of Bacteriological Methods of Warfare, 1929).

Geneva Conventions - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

And........fwiw...........since I came on active duty in 1982, until I retired in 2002, I had ANNUAL briefings (usually 2-3 days) on both the Code of Conduct for the military (like I said, locally made by the U.S.) as well as briefings on the Geneva Conventions, which the Code of Conduct follows.

Might wanna read up on some of this stuff and why the rules are in place before spewing bullshit.

I'm tracking but I disagree. They were stupid but I wouldn't cut em on a BCD.
I've got a lot of friends who have come back from over there and I dunno, maybe I just have a soft spot in my heart for them. This is unlike any war we've ever been in and I wish we'd get the hell out.

 

[bodecea]

Gaybiker, when I want shit from you I'll ring your bell.

I am still against repealing DADT (Did you know at least one state is attempting to overturn that for their National Guard?)

And I am following the rules, first thing i said was to give these troops extra duty. Not my fault that the enemy we are fighting does much worse than this to our troops and gets a pass from you ***** *****.............

Like I said Stupid Fucker Called Ollie, you support troops breaking the Geneva Conventions and the Code of Conduct.

Good to know that such a great NCO such as yourself supports breaking international as well as military rules.

Sergeant First Class to you fuckface..........

You know......I've got 2 friends over there right now. One is the nephew of my roomie and one is a nephew of someone who was a good friend of mine, both are in Afghanistan.

One is a medic who travels in an MRAP and the other is working on being a sniper.

Factor in the fact that I'm retired military myself, yeah, I've got a soft spot myself for my fellow brothers and sisters in arms.

But no..................I cannot and will not condone or make excuses for anyone who has commited such a blatant act which violates not only the U.S. Military Code of Conduct, but also violates the Geneva Conventions.

And I AM being easy on them.........if I had my way, it would be a Dishonorable.

Right now the US needs out of any and ALL foreign entanglements like NATO or the UN. I was actually around when this was all created, but I seriously doubt that you were. It is obvious you have never been in the military or even out of your own back yard. We do NOT need foreign powers dictating to us at home or in a foreign battlefield.

Right now, we have troops in over 150 countries. We are an empire, like it or not. And it is the US who needs to be in charge. That 'hearts and minds' bullshit is just that. Bullshit. We got here by winning, not by kowtowing.

Modern era





The Green Line that separated west and east Beirut, 1982
After the collapse of the Ottoman Empire following World War I, Beirut, along with the rest of Lebanon, was placed under the French Mandate. After Lebanon achieved independence in 1943, Beirut became its capital city. The city remained a regional intellectual capital, becoming a major tourist destination and a banking haven, especially for the Persian Gulf Oil Boom. This era of relative prosperity ended in 1975 when the Lebanese Civil War broke out throughout the country.[37][38] During most of the war, Beirut was divided between a Muslim west part and the Christian east.[39] The downtown area, previously the home of much of the city's commercial and cultural activities, became a no man's land known as the "Green Line." Many inhabitants fled to other countries. About 60,000 people died in the first two years of the war (1975–1976), and much of the city was devastated. One particularly destructive period was the 1978 Syrian siege against Achrafiyeh, the main Christian district of Beirut. Syrian troops relentlessly bombed the eastern quarter of the city; however, Christian militias managed to counter and defeat multiple attempts by Syria's elite forces to capture the strategic area in a three-month campaign later known as the "100 days war". Another destructive chapter was the 1982 Israeli invasion, during which most of West Beirut was under siege by Israeli troops. In 1983, French and US barracks were bombed, killing 241 American servicemen, 58 French servicemen, 6 civilians and the 2 suicide bombers.[40][41][42]

I was also part of Desert Storm, pts 1 and 2, as well as was floating in a combat zone around Kosovo in the late 90's, and yes, I've been under artillery fire.

Oh.........and by the way.........I've also been awarded 3 Navy Achievement Medals, all of them signed by Admirals.

Go **** yourself Sunshine.

Do you even know what they are?



Geneva Conventions - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

And........fwiw...........since I came on active duty in 1982, until I retired in 2002, I had ANNUAL briefings (usually 2-3 days) on both the Code of Conduct for the military (like I said, locally made by the U.S.) as well as briefings on the Geneva Conventions, which the Code of Conduct follows.

Might wanna read up on some of this stuff and why the rules are in place before spewing bullshit.

I have studied more law than you will ever see in your lifetime.

If you are such a big bad ass, then why don't you reinlist. You claim active duty. You do not claim any combat experience. Let me guess. You don't have any! How easy was that, now!

Actually, I can't reenlist because I have an RE-2 code on my DD214, which means that I'M ******* RETIRED YOU DUMB *****.

As far as war service? Not that I have to tell you but I was in Beruit in 1983, 1984 and 1985........you remember what it was like then?

Modern era





The Green Line that separated west and east Beirut, 1982
After the collapse of the Ottoman Empire following World War I, Beirut, along with the rest of Lebanon, was placed under the French Mandate. After Lebanon achieved independence in 1943, Beirut became its capital city. The city remained a regional intellectual capital, becoming a major tourist destination and a banking haven, especially for the Persian Gulf Oil Boom. This era of relative prosperity ended in 1975 when the Lebanese Civil War broke out throughout the country.[37][38] During most of the war, Beirut was divided between a Muslim west part and the Christian east.[39] The downtown area, previously the home of much of the city's commercial and cultural activities, became a no man's land known as the "Green Line." Many inhabitants fled to other countries. About 60,000 people died in the first two years of the war (1975–1976), and much of the city was devastated. One particularly destructive period was the 1978 Syrian siege against Achrafiyeh, the main Christian district of Beirut. Syrian troops relentlessly bombed the eastern quarter of the city; however, Christian militias managed to counter and defeat multiple attempts by Syria's elite forces to capture the strategic area in a three-month campaign later known as the "100 days war". Another destructive chapter was the 1982 Israeli invasion, during which most of West Beirut was under siege by Israeli troops.

Desert Storm started in 1990. And it was not fought in Beirut.

You are a Liar.

Apparently you can't read either you dumb whore, because now, I've bolded it for you in the part where I'd said that I was in Beruit in '83, 84 and '85. Matter of fact, it was onboard the USS CONCORD, and we stopped there every month to resupply the Marines as well as UNREP and VERTREP the ships that were watching over them. That is also where I got fired at by heavy artillery, because we used to anchor out and let the helos do the resupply until someone started taking pot shots at us. Afterwards, we were required to do little boxes up and down the coast.

Try again you dumb skeevy *****.
