You keep spouting off "scam", in spite of numerous reports today that the troops in question have been identified. It's real. It happened. You don't care. We get it. You think it's entirely proper. You're sick in the head. We all understand.
actually.........I find most of your posts just vague opinions hardly ever backed up by any experience.I also find your egotistical comment "we all understand'to be incorrect.
Here's a novel idea, one that has no chance of happening:
How about instead of doing something TOO those Marines, we do something FOR them such as letting them stay home and rest or get them the counseling they need to overcome the trauma of combat which leads to such actions?
Naw...we've gotta have a sacrificial goat to appease the Kharzai government and public opinion. Those kids are screwed and that's a shame.

We would roast the greatest generation if anything they did was captured on video back during the invasion of Europe. Its what we have become: cannibals feeding on our own and feeling righteous about doing so. I never did what these marines did, but people who have never had others try to kill them don't know what it is like and they don't know the mental processes that come into play that allow us to pull a trigger. Feeling bad about these talibani getting whizzed on is like feeling bad for the dead Nazi guard at Treblinka for getting whizzed on. If you don't think that is a fair comparison - then you don't know the talibani. Having said that - they really shouldn't have done that. But, lets not go overboard as if they stoned a woman in burka for reading a book.
I agree. If I was there I would have pulled my bull knife out, cut their heads off and took a crap in their necks!
Sad that we are losing sight of what we are fighting for and what our country stands for.

“Should any American soldier be so base and infamous as to injure any [prisoner]. . . I do most earnestly enjoin you to bring him to such severe and exemplary punishment as the enormity of the crime may require. Should it extend to death itself, it will not be disproportional to its guilt at such a time and in such a cause… for by such conduct they bring shame, disgrace and ruin to themselves and their country.” - George Washington, charge to the Northern Expeditionary Force, Sept. 14, 1775

Then I'm sure you wouldn't be able to find water if I gave you a boot full of it with instructions on how to empty it on the heel.
Compared to cutting off peoples heads, feet, hands, or stoning them (all while those people are still ALIVE), peeing on them is small potatoes.
I just wish they weren't filmed.
