"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."
So we should resort to the same tactics as our enemies?
I thought the point of war was to beat the other guy, not urinate on hm.
If you are urinating on the enemies body you have won that battle.
I imagine that in a battle with Adrenalin running for you survive or they survive that things might happen due to the rush that you survived that might not be acceptable at formal cocktail parties
All I can say is read what West said..........end of story.
“I have sat back and assessed the incident with the video of our Marines urinating on Taliban corpses. I do not recall any self-righteous indignation when our Delta snipers Shugart and Gordon had their bodies dragged through Mogadishu. Neither do I recall media outrage and condemnation of our Blackwater security contractors being killed, their bodies burned, and hung from a bridge in Fallujah.
“All these over-emotional pundits and armchair quarterbacks need to chill. Does anyone remember the two Soldiers from the 101st Airborne Division who were beheaded and gutted in Iraq?
“The Marines were wrong. Give them a maximum punishment under field grade level Article 15 (non-judicial punishment), place a General Officer level letter of reprimand in their personnel file, and have them in full dress uniform stand before their Battalion, each personally apologize to God, Country, and Corps videotaped and conclude by singing the full US Marine Corps Hymn without a teleprompter.
“As for everyone else, unless you have been shot at by the Taliban, shut your mouth, war is hell.”
LMAO! What morons some Americans are really. It's sad. Terrorists in Afghanistan are going to overthrow the US? I mean what the hell is wrong with the people of my country? Are we that f'ing braindead? You wanna talk about a country hell bent on "destroying" and overthrowing you look to your most favored nation trading partner CHINA! The Chinese hate the west as much as anyone and they actually have the military might, economy, and population to put their money where their mouth is. But they don't need a military to destroy America they already are because idiot Americans like the above Tea Party clown have sold their soul to China for cheap Walmart crap they don't need and can live without. American materialism and mindless conspicuous consumption will be our downfall not some goat herding Taliban warrior with an AK living in the 16th century. Americans are complete idiots. Hence why we'll end up with another Romney or Obama.
They were dead enemies who would have gladly pissed on American bodies.
War is not politically correct get your big boy/girl panties on
America is supposed to judge itself on its OWN merits. How low do we stoop when we start comparing ourselves to f'ing Taliban? So what if it's war? That's what soldiers are trained for. That's why we have the most sophisticated training, equipment, and soldiers in the world. They are doing a job and have been trained and are expected to do it professionally. So you're going to degrade all Marines and soldiers by saying it's war that's how they are supposed to act and do act? You've just insulted a HUGE amount of soldiers who have more class, more guts, and more professionalism than you could ever muster. That is NOT the behavior of an American soldier no matter how bloody, evil, and vile war is. That is the behavior of a bunch of spineless cowards that have lost all hope in this war and probably never had a reason to believe in it to begin with. It's time we bring the troops home for the good of the country.
We are supposed to be better than the enemies we fight. Not to mention it's AGAINST INTERNATIONAL LAW i.e. The GENEVA CONVENTION! Grow up!
The Marines are looked upon very favorably and peeing on dead corpses doesn't embody that. I don't care if they are the "enemy" and it is quite childish behavor.
