U.S. Marines Urinate On Dead Bodies In Afghanistan

I think he got a general not honorable and his was least criminal.

It was honorable:

Army National Guard Lt. Dan Choi was honorably discharged,

You still don't seem to understand that the ONLY punishment someone could receieve under DADT is a discharge. That was the compromise to allowing gays in the military.

The military had only ONE choice for choi and that was discharge.

This incident with the Marines and Choi cannot be compared with honestly because they are different.

Well they should be discharged like England was. You seem to feel.sorry for them and give them special treatment. Just treat them like everyone else.

I don't feel sorry for them, but I don't feel it's on par with what England did and I explained why. They deserve non-judicial punishment, but that is all.

Again, there are distinct difference in illegal activies to dead people compared to the living and how they are handled even in civilian society.

I love talk radio and miss it greatly... there is no talk radio here unfortunately. In my experience, and it is mostly with the fringe on either side... it is the liberal that insults emotionally first and the conservative who insults seriously second. I can't tell you how many times I was insulted out of the blue during a conversation by liberals. Just talking and they would start swearing and insulting my intelligence and character... when I would debate the liberal side with equally rabid conservatives I was never once sworn at. They might have insulted my position, but not me. A HUGE difference...

I always save my insults for the people who deserve it most - the TV/Radio personalities. Ye Gods - the TV news hosts are such pompous asses, and obvious govmnt stooges.

Anyways, if you want to add to the "Bias in Media section" Anyone Sick of Talk Radio thread, I'd like to see more input.
 
Ahh so it's just more partisan Bull**** from you.

I am an independent... so no, it actually isn't

You seemed to imply it wasn't illegal with your comment:

The two are not connected. I am not arguing that it isn't illegal. It is illegal though I wasn't sure. Still, not the point. I am arguing that making it illegal is stupid and that punishing them is moronic as well as stating that peeing on a dead enemy combatant is not dishonorable.

But either way, it is not honorable to desecrate a corpse. I'm sorry but most civilized people recognize this. The Marine Corp surely does as well as the military in general. The majority of the United States is not a bunch of savages so we should not act as such.

Most civilized people understand and recognize that killing other people is not honorable or civilized... so your argument is bunk within the context of the reality of the situation. Anything else?

adding my penny's worth of thinking because nobody else gives 2 cents to hear my thoughts. Independent is a political party so actually it is. just not the two majority parties.

the staged event is a hoax turned into a reality that has everyone really upset. Exactly as crafted to do when it was staged.

Civil people know that killing is a last resort to prevent being murdered for having an opinion other than those seeking power to govern humanity's realities globally. either by power of persuasion or persuasion of power.
Kind of like if you aren't for our idea, you are against us telling you want to believe in and a governed society cannot stand with that kind of social behavior in questioning the authority of interpretation of theory and theology granting charcter's rights by social significance to saving societal evolution.

It is pretty obvious they broke the Marine Code
It is basically, commitment, honor, courage...
They had courage on pissing on a dead man's body.
But they had no commitment to the country in destroying possible relations with the Afghans.
And they didn't honor the dead.
:(

Wrong. They displayed their courage by fighting and killing the terrorist scum bag... Peeing on him displays their sense of humor.
In killing him they have total committment to their country... it is their country that has no committment to them.
I think that any Afghan that cares about what happens to a terrorist after they are killed is one that we shouldn't give a **** about.
And maybe they sang a happy song honoring the dead as they urinated on him.. you don't know.
 
If this were a legitimate story those marines would be court marshalled by now. it was a photoshop hoax.

Marine pees on dead terrorist - yep, that's such a travesty /scarcasm

I'm guessing the families of those killed in the protest of Americans don't find it as humorous as you do:

Death toll rises to 24 from Afghan anti-US protests

"Anti-US protesters tried to storm a US consulate and march on NATO headquarters in Kabul on Friday as violent demonstrations over the burning of Korans pushed into a fourth day, killing 24 people.

Afghan officials said nine people died Friday, seven of them in the relatively peaceful western province of Herat, where the assault was made on the consulate in the capital.

The Koran burning has inflamed anti-Western sentiment already smouldering over abuses by US-led foreign troops, such as the release last month of a video showing US Marines urinating on the corpses of dead Afghans."

Ah that's Islamic extremists for you - someone offends us, so we respond by killing people. But the soldiers are somehow the "real bad guys". Sure.

These aren't extremists protesting, they are the Afghans, that we are "supposedly" there to help. People that do not understand, or respect the culture, have no business being there, as they are putting their fellow soldiers at increased risk, and harming the credibility of the US military.

I would submit that 80% of Americans are against the wars. Both parties, not just the liberals are fed up with these wars. Its just that TV media seldom will admit it.

"Obama was elected in large measure because he successfully appealed to the antiwar sentiments of the American people, particularly in relation to the war in Iraq. But the Democratic Party, like the Republican, is an instrument of the US financial aristocracy, and thus unshakably committed to the defense of American imperialism."

"a Washington Post-ABC News poll released this week showing that 60 percent of the US population believes that the Afghanistan war is not worth fighting. The war has claimed the lives of 1,436 US troops—489 of them this year—and is costing upwards of $115 billion a year, The poll’s results mark a 20 percent increase in opposition to the war since Obama took office."

Wait... so people are involved in riots and try to over run militaries and consulates and are killed and somehow this is the fault of some guys that pissed on some corpses or burned a book? Ridiculous. The book is not a person. They are the ones KILLING PEOPLE. What is even more stupid is that they are KILLING THEIR OWN PEOPLE.

What absolute dumb asses.

Right, I'm sure we would have a completely different view of an foreign occupation force in our country that was burning bibles and pissing on American dead. :roll:

Penny Marshall and her marsh mellow army did the editing...

I am sure that there are a lot of morons that would riot about that here but that they would direct their anger at the oppressors... and we are not out just burning Korans like it is our sport. We punish our people when they do things like this and we have policies stating that we are doing our best to adapt to their sensitivities and culture. Some bad guys doing bad things on American soil would not enrage riots where we started killing our own people. Don't be ridiculous.

What are their policies? We will kill and behead anybody that makes us angry. To attempt to compare the two is lame.
