Okay, since we can't piss on them.


Lets just put some bacon in their mouths instead.

What's wrong with just killing them?

To be serious for one sec... its a psychological thing. (I'm guessing)

I don't have a problem with them posing, victoriously, with their Taliban kills. Not "Weekend At Bernie's", propping them up with cigarettes in their mouth, but just a commemoration of the event.

Pissing on them is disgraceful.

Me Chinese me play joke me put pee pee on your stinky rotting carcas... Too soon?

Me... I couldnt do it. I couldnt even pee in front of my probation officer, much less on camera

Even posing with them... too gruesome for me.

The last thing I am going to do is condemn these guys though.

Hell, in WWII guys scalped the Japs.

War is Hell is all I can say.

 

[paulitician]

Ever hear the saying,"I wouldn't piss on you if you were on fire?" Well those Taliban carcases were clearly on fire. Our boys were actually showing compassion. They were just trying to put the fires out. So cut em some slack and get off their backs.

 

[Toome]

War is ugly, but this isn't the ugliest thing that's ever happened in war. Yeah, perhaps some measure of discipline is in order but nothing major. No, I don't condone this type of behavior but I also don't go around pretending that these sort of things don't happen.

I fear that some hard-charging warriors are going to have to pay the price because of faint-hearted pansies who don't understand the brutality that naturally comes with war.

Is the U.S. enraging Muslims and Liberals again?

*sniff sniff*

Since you're too much of a ***** to accept visitor messages:

You can neg rep away ALL of my rep power because once I don't have any, you'll have to argue with me with your brain instead of the stroke of a keyboard and that should be good for a laugh!! LOL

You sure do use ass a lot in your insults, have you noticed? Anally-fixated much?

So you like it when US soldiers urinate on dead corpses? Do you feel the same way when the Taliban or al Qaeda urinates on dead American soldiers? Two wrongs make a right?

We all know that the Marines in question "done wrong." Bad training? Bad manners? Poor discipline?

On the other hand, to be blunt, it is more than passing strange that so many people pretend to care all that much.

I mean, truth be told, the fuckers were already lying there all dead and shit. Nature was getting started on the road to decomposition which makes a urine stream seem like a bath.

And it is just a bunch of ******* Taliban scumbags, anyway. What those scumbags do to living people is far more depraved than the petty act of pissing on their corpses could ever be.

Bottom line? I find it difficult to believe this is worth getting worked up over.

And Mohammed (PB&J) was a racist, hate-filled, psychotic, pedophile, murdering, savage asshole, too.

The United States Marine Corps is launching an investigation into a video which appears to show Marines in full combat gear urinating on several dead bodies ... TMZ has learned.

In the extremely graphic video, which appeared on various websites this morning, at least 4 male Marines expose their genitals and urinate on the bodies.

The mystery person who posted the video included a caption that reads, "scout sniper team 4 with 3rd battalion 2nd marines out of camp lejeune peeing on dead talibans."

Now, Captain Kendra N. Hardesty -- a Media Officer for the USMC -- tells us, "While we have not yet verified the origin or authenticity of this video, the actions portrayed are not consistent with our core values and are not indicative of the character of the Marines in our Corps."

It's kinda funny, though.


They might start some silly shit over the bacon.

I tell you what; you name me ONE enemy we have fought since WW II, that paid ANY attention whatever to the Geneva Conventions or any of the other niceties our troops are now FORCED to observe (primarily for the purpose of placating the uninformed opinions of a permanent civilian public who have ZERO understanding of the emotions a soldier feels in combat), and we can talk about right and wrong. Alternatively, you can put your own combat experience out here, and we can talk about right and wrong. Until then, whether the new, politically correct military that came out of the decade after Vietnam learned the right lessons from that conflict and its aftermath is a matter of opinion, and my opinion is that I am getting a bit tired of troops being pilloried in the court of public opinion, here and abroad, so people like you can FEEL good.

I don't disagree with the sentiment, but the problem is that we're the good guys. What makes us different than our enemies is that we don't act like animals and we don't tolerate soldiers who, for whatever reason, cave to their baser instincts. I've never served in the military, so I won't pretend to have any idea what the stress of combat does to a man's mind and body. But I don't think it's unreasonable to advocate that there be a standard of conduct that a soldier follows in a war zone with respect to the enemy. I'm not exactly wringing my hands in anxiety over a couple of marines taking a leak on some dead Talibans, but I do think that it's an action that those in charge need to warn those at the tip of the spear against doing, as it's a lot easier to send a gentle message now on a mostly insignificant thing than it is to wait until we have another My Lai or the like and have to wind up sending soldiers to Leavenworth.

I understand the frustration, but I'm afraid of the pendulum swinging too far in one direction or the other. All I'm really asking for is a professional fighting force, which, for the most part I think we've had so far throughout our country's existence.

He has ALWAYS been a cowardly asshole.

Report the negative rep abuse to a moderator or shoot some back his way.



(Honestly, I encourage everyone to give negative rep to warrior102. The asswipe deserves it and abusively gives negative rep with hateful or obscene messages.)

 

[nitroz]

disagreement shouldn't lead to abuse.

Negative rep is only for those who are childish or treat you with absolutely no respect.

I don't completely disagree with what you're saying. As I mentioned in an earlier post, we can't let our troops simply run amok in combat, no matter how nasty it gets. I've seen the results, where that was allowed to happen. My Lai, and a number of lesser atrocities and excesses, occurred precisely because of a lack of discipline and leadership. The kind of military we have today, a smaller, professional force with a stronger emphasis on values and ethics, in part represents an attempt to prevent such things. I can understand ABS and others who have served under that system buying into it, and being emotionally invested in it (as they should be, if they were going to serve in it). At the same timeI am well aware of the emotions combat against an enemy who routinely commits atrocities that make My Lai look tame create in the troops who have to fight them. I'll freely admit that I saw the Cong and the NVA as something less then human; if you had seen the things they did, you might feel the same. The current enemy is little different; if anything, he is worse. It is asking a lot, to ask a man to fight and kill such an enemy, and then, when the fight is over to switch off the hatred, and be humane, compassionate, and decent with his dead and wounded. That runs smack up against human nature, and ugly things are bound to happen, and in spite of everything, they inevitably will. In this age, sometimes those ugly things get splashed all across the net and the media, for everyone to see. That's what happened here.

The problem I have, is that some here want to send the men who did this straight to the Navy/Marine Corps equivalent of Leavenworth. That seems excessive, to me. Administrative punishment, and a reprimand; absolutely; but sending them to the brig and giving them BCD's is overkill. Chew them out? You bet, but scapegoating them to pacify civilian sensitivities is another matter entirely.
