Why don't these bleeding heart pacifists go over and give out free blow-jobs to these Taliban bastards if they feel that much love for them.

They are our ****ing enemy. Slice 'em, dice 'em and julianne fry 'em. Film it and put a sound track behind it. I'd pay to watch.

**** the Taliban. Some of you folks need to figure out who the ****ing enemy is. It ain't our soldiers. (That is, unless you are Taliban or one of their sympathizers. And if you are, I do hope to see you smiling at the camera soon.)

No, that's not my contention. My contention is that the general order addresses photography of bodies, not handling of bodies. This goes back to my statement "you don't know what they actually violated."

What is the source of your premise that desecration of corpses only means photographing them?
 
Soldiers have been taking pics with dead enemy body parts and or whole bodies in since cameras became portable. A friend of mine has a pic he took of one dead VC giving another dead VC a blow job. Move along folks nuthin to see here.
There is a lot to see in it and I think everyone should see it often if they are paying for it. We have had over ten years of this in Afghanistan, lets get this out and let everyone decide if it is what we want to pay for.

" In a military DUI, it’s the court that decides on sentencing and can result in anything from dishonorable discharge, to a rank reduction, pay deduction, loss of security clearance, fines and imprisonment."

The Consequences for DUI in the Military : StraightDUI.com

"The armed forces of the United States are not prone to hand-holding when it comes to drug abuse within its ranks. While there are some drug rehab programs available to soldiers on active duty, the more common response to the problem is dishonorable discharge."

That's not what I said, Cat. The source is the general order...and the only thing in that order remotely relating to the incident is the photography of human casualties.

What does driving under the influence and drug use have to do with what we are talking about? Those are both violations of specific articles of the UCMJ.

Thanks, that pic makes me smile. The way I hear it these guys sorta blew up prematurely before they could take anyone with them, I would buy a little piece of them in a jar of formaldehyde and put it on my mantle if I could.
 
After I'm dead, they can put a clown wig on me, shove a carrot up my ass and parade me around on a unicycle for all I care.

You should put that in your will. :lamo

Why don't they have ten of them hanging on a rope. They ****ed up, they're the 82nd Airborne there should be hundred of dead Taliban all lined up. They should have a sign hanging up in Arabic that says, "This is what we're going to do to you Taliban mother****ers when we catch you, so you better run." Obama needs to stand up there and tell the Taliban that they shouldn't have started a war with us if they didn't want the indignities of death to occur.

General Order 1 is ban on desecrating corpses. The video is evidence that will be used in the Court Martial.
 
i'm wondering..

how many of you who are calling for the heads of these soldiers will call for the heads of journalists who photographs dead bodies in combat?

Yeah....the context is totally lost on me.....but man I love blood and guts.....especially when we are in their country tell'in how to live.....and it don't matter if our boys are dying....USA! USA!...10 more years!

They are both lesser offenses deserving of dishonorable discharge than desecrating corpses.

No, general order 1 is not a ban on desecrating corpses. General order 1 concerns conduct in theatre and it covers things like drinking, sex, taking souvenirs, entering mosques and photography of human casualties. It says nothing about desecrating human bodies.

They are not "lesser offenses" there is no article in the UCMJ concerning desecrating corpses.

Don't mean to jump in where I don't belong but drug use in the military usually ends up with the soldior getting the old boot out the gate with an OTH discharge. I don't know what you link says, I only know what I have seen happened a dozen times or more.

An OTH discharge is not a BCD (Bad Conduct Discharge) or a Dishonorable. It is referred to as an ad sep (administrative separation.) Which basicly means "You're fired." It is not nearly as bad as a BCD or Dishonorable.

Just sayin. Carry on.
 
Without reading all 8 pages of posts, all I can say is this:

If there was ever proof that the USofA needs to get out of these countries ASAP it's stuff like this that should put the final nail in that coffin.

Bring everybody home. Now. Get our people out of there. No matter where "there" may be. Bring them all home. Now.

It can't be done quickly - ending our involvement over there could be done quickly but the process of refolding these military members back into civilian employment and homelife should be considered carefully and slow.

I think people only focus on the warfront effects and ends - and pay little attention to the many other things that must happen.

It's off topic - but important: dumping them all off without a plan all at once into the homefront will only screw everyone over - with the economy in the ****ter and far less available career positions out there we'll just create another atmosphere of being unneeded and unemployable - which will create serious negative effects on the already worn out and exhausted individuals who have done nothing but be gone and wage war for countless years.

The last thing I want is to have a continuous cycle of homeless vets who served their country: were broken in the process: and then the country just sort of forgot about them when it's over with.

There is a distinction between documenting war and desecrating corpses.
 
It's a good thing that the Libbos weren't around during the Civil War. Their heads would have exploded.

Dead Confederates at, "Bloody Lane", after Antietam.

More dead Confederates on Antietam. If I recollect, these are Georgia troops that were killed before Burnside's Bridge.

These are soldier from Starke's Louisiana Brigade, mowed down on the Hagerstown Turnpike.

This young soldier--killed at The Devil's Den, at Gettysburg--was posed in at least two different spots.

Just a little perspective for all the handwringers.

im pretty sure the difference between oth and bcd and dishonerable is how much of a douche your brass feels like being when they make your reccomendations
