U.S. Marines Urinate On Dead Bodies In Afghanistan

Dead bodies of people who a few minutes ago were threatening their lives? Seems that we have to train people to get into a mindset to kill others. Things they would do that we are civilians typing on our computers will hopefully never have to see let alone live through.

Then when they do something that would be somewhat unsavory in our comfortable world you want them in jail, I say then go take their place.

A good reason to reserve war for when is is absolute necessary.

I agree with that. We should use our kids as political scape goats when we put them in lousy situations.

So, this would be ok, if you agreed with the war? American soldiers boiling the flesh off Japanese skulls during WW2 was ok, because that was a "good" war. Starving German POW's to death was ok, because the Nazis were pollitically incorrect enemy.

Fair weather patriotism sucks!

Wow!!! That's a while ass leap. I said nothing of the kind. Wrong is wrong, and a real patriot doesn't make excuses for wrong behavior. Ever.

I guess you would have actually had to have went to war, to understand the mindset. Pissing on savages that tried to kill you ranks pretty low on the ladder of "Wrong behavior", peacetime.

yes, right and wrong is always ranked. Criminal A only killed one person. B several. One is worse than the other, but do we say that A is OK? Or do we still punish, fitting the punishment to the crime?

This is not hard, controversial, or even anti patriotic. Believe it or not, we don't do soldiers any favors excusing their bad behavior. A soldier who did see war taught me that. Humans need limits, and need to know there are lines we don't cross.
 
If marines killed my wife I wouldn't care what they did with her body later. The only important thing would be that they killed her. She would then be like you, me and everyone else after the brain stops functioning, a hunk of rotting meat. Not pleasant to contemplate I know but it is a fact.
