U.S. Marines Urinate On Dead Bodies In Afghanistan

It is kind of sickening to see people defend the actions under the guise of "its war" or "they deserve it". At no point is it EVER acceptable. That being said, I can understand why they did it, but it still disgusts me.

Mr. Hat said that my opinion was this behavior was acceptable. I don't think it's acceptable. I think it's understandable and no big deal. The over-the-top adjectives people in this thread have used to describe these soldiers' actions are just that: over-the-top. It doesn't speak to a serious lack of discipline, in my opinion. It speaks to the consequences of teaching men and boys to kill without remorse. "Outraged?" "Disgusted?" As for me, I save use of those words for things much more egregious than this.

fine, we have different opinions. i would be outraged if i saw this from our enemy, however.
 
What's wrong with pissing on the dead corpses of THE TALIBAN fighters? How many of our loved ones have they killed? If memory and common sense serves, the TALIBAN are terrorists.

Here. Let's ask a sobering question to the faux-perturbed:

During WW2, would it be outrageous for an American soldier/Jewish Holocaust survivor to piss on the dead bodies of NAZIS???

But no, TALIBAN are people, too, and deserve the utmost respect.

If you evaluate it simply from a "haven't they killed our loved ones" perspective, then there isn't anything wrong with it. However, that's not the only way to look at it.

I have no problem with the Marines relieving themselves on the Taliban - alive or dead. What's the problem again?

Some sort of self-inflicted amorality?

So it'd be wrong/disrespectful for a Holocaust survivor to piss on the dead body of a NAZI official that tortured him for years and took the lives of his family?

No, the TALIBAN deserves NO respect. They are pigs for what they have done. No, they are worse than pigs. They are dirt. You feel less bad pissing on dirt than pigs, whether living or no.

Sorry, but I'm not going to break out my heartstrings and sob for the TALIBAN when our soldiers who are put through hell decide to piss on the dead bodies of those who have killed them and their fellow citizens/loved ones.

But no, we should give the TALIBAN and all its hateful members the same amount of general respect? Does this also go for others scum like the NAZIs?
 
Why am I not surprised that it is moreso the liberal than the conservative who is outraged at our soldiers pissing on the dead bodies of THE TALIBAN?

Conservatives are "PRO" urination and defecation in general (better out than in don't you know)... liberals are only pro urination and defecation when it involves police cars.:giggle:

First of all, this thread isn't about the Taliban, it's about the Marines so I don't understand how you could read so much into people not making their comments about the Taliban. Second, I doubt you trip over yourself to make threads about the Taliban either. Most people don't trip over anyone to make threads about anything. So again, I don't understand how you can read so much into people not 'tripping over themselves' to post a thread. 3. Saying that most Muslims aren't burning bodies is not the same thing as refusing to acknowledge that disgusting actions by the Taliban are, in fact, disgusting.

As I said...when I see the same folks expressing disgust and outrage in this thread doing it in similar threads and not tripping over themselves to justify all Muslims when the atrocities of the few are highlighted...I'll buy it...

So if someone expresses disgust at the Taliban, but points out that not all Muslims are like the Taliban, you have a problem with them if they express disgust at the Marines in the OP. That's not logical.

You obviously did not comprehend what I said because I agreed with you on the points you are making. What I said was that your points are not the only way to look at it.

Why?

What was more traumatic for these enemy terrorists? The 30 cal round ripping through their bodies or getting pissed on after they could care less?

I like my idea of covering the dead bodies with pig fat vice pissing on them.

Yes and you dont think this is going to help our cause at all?
You dont think that some Al Qaeda or Islamo-fascist organization is going to pick this up and use it to recruit more members to fight the "great devils"?

Then what other way(s) do you think it should be seen as? Why shouldn't some of us feel no empathy for what happened to the Taliban?

They [not all] care in that the TALIBAN is being disrespected. If they DIDN'T care, then why make this an issue, and why do there seem to be more outraged liberal than conservatives on this issue?

I think there's value in being better than the opposition. There's also value in not representing your country poorly. There's also value in not pissing off terrorists even more so that they'll have another video to use to recruit more terrorists who eventually kill you or other Americans.

Why shouldn't some of us feel no empathy for what happened to the Taliban?

I never said you shouldn't. In fact, I pretty much said the exact opposite.

When you learn to look at things from more than just your perspective, you can answer that question for yourself.

and why do there seem to be more outraged liberal than conservatives on this issue?

I don't know. You probably have an answer that is insulting to liberals and I probably have an answer that's insulting to conservatives.
 
These people are human beings. Humans. Who cares if they were members of the Taliban or not... Remember we used to love the Taliban!
These are humans...

pissing on their bodies shows a lack of restraint, a lack of humanity and a moment of stupidity.

Restraint? Don't agree. Humanity? Maybe. Stupidity? Yes.

"Were" human beings.... they are no longer and a little assistance in the decomposition process is better for the general health of the society and mankind who still is alive.

No, they're definitely still human. I don't know what the point in even debating that is. Whether it matters that they are human is another story.
