We can shut our mouths but they still lost our respect.
Maybe your respect but they have not lost mine and never will. I love them and will stand behind them no matter what. Semper Fi

You can shoot them and/or blow them to bits, but to p**s on them is verboten.

Yes these people who have been slain may have been brutal----but to urinate on them---we are better than this.
Unfortunately, the military has difficulty recruiting folks with your mindset in mass. The military also desensitizes recruits and trains them to kill. Looks like these young men accomplished that goal. Sorry, when your job is to kill people, urinating on a dead body probably doesn't seem all that much more uncivilized.

People will try to demonize these marines. But few people can understand the adrenalin needed to survive when the goal of the enemy is to kill you. When you realize they failed their mission and you remained alive the shot of adrenalin might make you act in a way that you would not act while winning and tidily winks. Apologies to those too young to know how to play tidily winks

Imagine a scenario where federal agents are filmed urinating on dead white supremacists/militia types after a violent standoff.

Is urinating on the dead enemy something that should be included in the American history books?

Because that act is degrading to the soldiers themselves! We want to respect our soldiers for their acts of heroism. Posting a video of themselves urinating sure makes it difficult to feel respect or pride for them.

Default Tea party leader doesn't CAIR about marines urinating on dead Afghans

Is anyone really surprised.

"Outrage over the U.S. Marines video of soldiers desecrating the bodies of dead Afghans has been further stirred by the controversial words of Tea Party leader Pamela Geller: "I don't care," she wrote recently."

Quote:
So let me be perfectly clear. I DO love those Marines. We are at war with an enemy that means to slaughter us and overthrow the United States of America. I don't CAIR that these Marines wee wee'ed on murderous savages.
