Graphic (NSFW) : Video of US Marines urinating on dead Afghan (Taliban?) men (enemy, soldiers)

(NSFW) Marines Humiliating dead Taliban insurgents - YouTube

Yes, the taliban deserve to be pissed on. But actually doing it and video taping it is just dumb.

Incidents like this give our military a very bad name and undermines what little good will we have with the locals.

Gee... I wonder why they're dead?

Maybe they're dead because they were Taliban insurgents shooting at them.

Those guys deserve a medal.

You turn your back on those Taliban they cut your head off.

I've seen a lot worse done to enemy KIA.

That's actually pretty funny.

People that are killed in a conflict do not deserve to be urinated on-----whether they be enemy, terrorist, or spies------war is an emotional and frightening event----yet,sorry, we are better than this-----we are suppossed to be the model and shining light for civility in the world.

Yes these people who have been slain may have been brutal----but to urinate on them---we are better than this.

Hopefully they had just eaten some bacon.

Just another example of how vile and corrupt the US military is.

Then you have these modern day Nazi's in this forum defending these white trash thugs.

The only way these cowards get away with this that they are decimating at native population of 3rd World peasants.

Had they been engaged with an enemy of comparable strength they would have been tried and shot for aiding the enemy with their souvenir video.

This country is so corrupt and going down hill so fast it's almost unbelievable.

I agree with this...

But to those who see this funny, you just gave your enemy some ammo to fire the flames (if you will) what good is it to win the minds and heart of the locals your trying to win over when they see these done to their fellow countryman (taliban or not) they will see this as an insult and how you really look upon them as people. Talk about shooting yourself in the foot.

It's not like the Taliban is having trouble recruiting, is it?

That video sure depicts our soldiers as being classless savages without respect for themselves or decency.

Easy words to type from the comfort of your la-Z-boy. Reality though is much different. This is who we are. Some of us at least. Obviously.
