U.S. Marines Urinate On Dead Bodies In Afghanistan

Bodhisattva said:
Are you even able to stay on topic? Stop making these ridiculous logical fallacies... now you are introducing Red Herrings.

Can you tell me what animals pee on their kills for me? Thanks..

So what if it outraged people... that does not make it dishonorable. Perhaps the outraged are just a bunch of sissies...

Oh its also illegal.

Desecration of a corpse is a crime. They embarrassed themselves and the Marines. They should get dishonorable discharge for having no honor. They should be happy they aren't facing a court martial or facing local prosecution for their crimes.

If you don't think peeing in a corpse is a crime just go down to a funeral home pee in one and see what happens.

I am talking about Taliban/Al Queada etc

They dishonored themselves and should get a dishonorable discharge. That is why that punishment exists. They could face court marshal and do time. I say cut them a break. If you don't think its a crime by all means go piss on a dead body and see what your consequence is.

So, "conduct unbecoming", to these Marines is different than, "conduct unbecoming to an officer and a gentleman", to someone whose cause you agree with?

Let me see if I got this straight: you want junior enlisted men, in their early 20's, who are uneductated and aren't expected to know better--kids, basically--to be held to a higher standard than more mature, college educated commissioned officers, who are expected to know better?

REALLY!!!!!

Nice standard, dude!!!

I mean, hey! No ****! That's ****ing awesome!!!!

Oh the poor little kids. They aren't kids. I don't think they should get the same as the guy who tried to cause a political stunt. He is being court martialed. What they did was worse than Choi who said I'm gay on tv an he got discharged so no higher standard. You want to yell. Oh the injustice, but they committed a crime and caused an international incident. They should be dishonorably discharged like Choi actually was just for saying I'm gay.

Personally I think the dead bodies were just in the wrong spots, Marines do have to relieve themselves, it’s not their fault that those they killed just happened to be laying where they relieved themselves. Not only that, but I hear tell that the scent of human urine will scare off animals that might be looking to feed on those same dead bodies. Thus in the end leaving them in better shape for burial. Perhaps they could be commented for taking the time to do everything in their power to see that the bodies not be eaten by animals. …. GOD BLESS OUR MARINES EACH AND EVERY ONE OF THEM.
 
To me this is has gotten to the point of ridiculous, and those still bitching about the Marines are basically aiding and abetting the enemy.
 
Dishonorable discharge!

hahaha

Yep, we should make a law that limits the freedom of speech from disagreeing with Marines pissing on dead bodies.

Look, I think non-judicial punishment is fine and should be at the descretion of the Marin Corp, but calling free speech aiding and abetting the enemy is just plain stupid.
 
You were in the military?
Yeah, I got a dishonorable discharge.
What for?
Dishonorable discharge.

Wait a minute. Are you sure you know what free speech means? Free speech means one gets to say what they want, not that people must like it or refrain from criticism. Just because speech is free does not put it beyond reproach.

I'm free to say "the taliban is right and the US deserves what it gets and should get more!" But I think we must agree that it would, in fact, be abetting the enemy.

I'm not saying the speech in this thead is such, I'm just noting that your point is off.

You sound pissed off....

But how is this aiding and abetting the enemy and which enemy are you talking about anyway; the people who want string these guys up or the enemy that these soldiers had been fighting?

Did you read in context what I was responding to? American had said that those complaining about the Marines "are basically aiding and abetting the enemy."

In that context, that is not aiding and abetting the enemy just because people do not like Marine's pissing on dead bodies. Even calling for their discharge (While I don't agree with it and think it's extreme) is still NOT aiding and abetting the enemy.

He broke the rules, period. He violated the same law that these guys are accused of violating and I'm not talking about coming out of the closet on Oprah.

Not injustice, but rather "double standard".

And like free speech, it is beyond reproach! Why do some people hate freedom?
