U.S. Marines Urinate On Dead Bodies In Afghanistan

if the roles were reversed and a Taliban pissed on a dead Marine...

So is pissing on dead fighters wrong now?

If the Taliban piss on a dead Marine, I lay that at the feet of the Marines who set the precedent - and those who excused it. According to YOU, it's not wrong.

What's childish is justifying or rationalizing a dishonorable act. Adults don't do such things, nor do they excuse them.

You have no frame of reference to understand - but you're quick to judge. No one is excusing the act... we're just not dog piling half cocked and without any other information than the video that's out.

The Marine Corps will investigate and take what action they deem appropriate. I have faith in the Marine Corps to do the right thing.

The right thing? So this was wrong and should be punished?

This further solidifies my point about your childish ways. You're childish in all threads you post in. You can't be more than 20 years old.

This further solidifies my point about their childish ways. They are childish in most wars they fight in. They can't be more than 20 years old.

Funny how that works out aye.

I'm sure the dead Marine wouldn't mind a bit - as I and others have already stated - the Taliban have done much worse to Marines already.

That was good! Thanks for being both serious and bringing a little levity to this conversation. Maybe it's because I served that this doesn't get under my skin as much as those who have NO CLUE (*ahem*) but the "one bladder for my country" was very good! :thumbs:

Thank you for your service Ockham.

So does that justify the act?

That would mean it was okay for the Taliban to do it in the first place.

I'm sure the dead Marine wouldn't mind a bit

So now you're saying it's okay to piss on a dead Marine.

What's awesome is that those childish people support your right to even say that. You can attack me all you want, have a little respect for people that put themselves in harms way while you sit back at home eating Cheetos and arm chair quarterbacking everything they do.
Funny how that works huh

I will respect them and let them do their jobs and all that, but I won't let them get away with pissing on the dead enemy, especially on video.

Deal?

I never endorsed them doing it either, if you look back through my posts. Deal.

What exactly are you going to do about it?

Just curious.

Problem is those kids are probably deadbeats, mommy and daddy wouldn't but them any more first person shooter games after they hit the age 18, so they decided to join the forces with the hopes of getting to play some more.

Volunteering to serve yourself up to a government that you dislike is not a rational decision IMO.

Yeah? What you gonna do misterman? Write a blog?

I would LOVE to be the fly on the wall watching you come up on a United States Marine and telling him what YOU will or will not let him get away with.

This thread is getting amusing. Piss on it. LOL!

I answered the question.

CriticalThought said:
Let me see...by your logic only a bunch of bankers would be worthy of serving as jurors on a trial of a banker who allegedly committed fraud. Or only a bunch of women who experience domestic abuse would be worthy of serving as jurors in a case involving a battered woman. I find your logic quite interesting.

No clue what bankers and fraud have to do with this...

Oh good. I thought you were just rationalizing your ass off.

Straight **** bro. No reason to do otherwise.

CriticalThought said:
Poor logic.

Well you and others are saying how this sets some precedent and how it will enrage the terrorists and how they'll increase recruitment because of such a dishonorable act. It's only fair to point out the dishonor is theirs. That doesn't excuse anything but there is no set precedent here - that's just nonsense.

The only person in this thread so far acting like a child has been you with the "ass" and "son" comment. You should take your own advice.

Damn! We Cheeseheads sure do think alike. When you were writing this, I was writing my post asking the same damn thing.

Great minds think alike.

Sorry Maggie, but I believe that if there hadn't been enough volunteers we wouldn't be there right now, a draft is what we should use when there is a real conflict that needs to be corrected by the good citizens of the USA, not volunteers who might be down on their luck and who are looking for a way out of their personal messes.

Sorry, Mattillac...my post still goes. That's one hell of a way to look at those men and women who volunteer to serve in the armed forces. I don't know the demographics of those who enlist in the service. Neither do you. To say they're down on their luck and looking for a way out is an opinion. You're entitled to it, but don't denigrate the entire United States military by assuming motives that come from your own obvious bias.

LOL - like by the people who were willing to shoot their thumbs off to avoid going? Those draftees?

Or the draftees who were so incapable of fighting and unwilling to do so that they ended up being nothing but cannon fodder?

Or the women who - oh wait - we not allowed to be drafted.

The draft, when enacted, served only to toss more people into the field to quickly be shot down - it didn't bolster anything or 'fix' the problem. If someone doesn't want to BE there - they shouldn't BE there.

I think it's pathetic enough that we don't let people go who DO want to go - you know, why not! But what we're in now isn't a war of contrition . . we have more than enough boots on the ground and ten times as many in garrison . . . just waiting around with nothing to do.
