Maybe we could stuff their bodies with bacon? No, it'd be a waste of good food.

Oh, and this is just great.

Thank you President Obama, and his minions for being complete pushovers.
So, to you, they should sit back and let us invade their country and kill their population at will, but the moment they fight back, that means they're horrible individuals that deserve to have their bodies desecrated?

You ate a lot of paste as a child, didn't you?

The important message is that its OK to kill people, but please NEVER pee on them. That would be bad.

I wonder if the actions of these four will be harmful to one of the key goals of our mission in Afghanistan - to win the hearts and minds of the people? Hum

As far as I am concerned I wouldn't care if they left a big fat turd on those dead Taliban scum.

Here is a thought! How about we stop putting our troops in harm's way by constantly having to play the world cop, and forcing our beliefs down the throats of those that don't want it anyway, and perhaps s*** like this wouldn't happen?!!

Oh, but wait silly me, I forgot... if we don't fight them over there, then we'll have to fight them over here!

ENOUGH WITH PLAYING THE WORLD POLICE ALREADY!!

Asking me how I would feel is a stupid question when I already said the concern is putting this on the internet/world for everyone to see, that includes their relatives. Obviously since I already pointed that fact out I wouldn't like to see that on a relative of mine all over the internet/tv. You need to get your head out of your ass and pay more attention to what you supposedly read.

I agree killing another human is disgusting, inhuman, and I'll add sometimes done in inhumane ways. What I see is that theses soldiers see their own people die everyday. The stress of that is going to take it's toll on them. To make what they did a crime is insane. It show a total lack of respect for our own kind, our own soldiers. I don't care how others view us for what the soldiers did. I'm not condoning them because they did the right thing I'm condoning them because they should never have been filmed and it never should have been shown for the world to see. Had they done this to a living human then I would be furious with them and that would make them no better than the Taliban. They aren't responsible for this getting on the internet/tv the media is responsible for that and they should punished for showing it not the American Soldiers. The actions of peeing on the dead means nothing if it's not plastered all over the nation/world and it isn't done to a living human being. I'm more concerned about important things to be reported like is torture being done and most of all the damn wars to end.
Sorry but they knew they were being filmed and knew it would go viral. They basically recorded a criminal act on tape! Well what does one expect from people who are trained to kill?

Yeah, just ask the Russians what happens when you tick these people off.

Doesn't mean that we can't be better then that and be the shining beacon of Democracy that we're pretending to be.

It all depends on your perspective. I know people who probably would have paid for that kind of treatment from a group of Marines.
