Marines Urinating on Dead Guys?

I think urinating on an enemy is in pretty poor taste and makes you look like a primitive brute, but I can understand how if for instance you were pinned down for a week by a couple of a guys in a crow's nest who had possibly even killed one of your friends how you'd start entertaining thoughts like that if you finally made it out alive.

This is something I'd assume happens constantly, but should never be condoned. I'm surprised at how many people seem to find this sort of behavior surprising. I think there should be disciplinary action taken against the soldiers in question, but nothing as severe as a war crime.
 
I think we should be proactive.

Someone should become a mullah and proclaim that the US Marines are the true messengers from Allah and they were anointing the Taliban bodies.

Yeah, so culturally superior that you urinate over dead people to prove just how macho you are? Don't make me laugh!

You know what they say about painting with a broad brush, right?

I personally would love to see both these Marines charged and held.

Conduct Unbecoming, desecrating a dead body, etc.

Isolated incidence and the people who did it will be disciplined. Nothing to get too worked up over.

I'm more worked up about the fact that some people on this forum have defended their actions, more than the incident itself.

They hate us because they envy our cultural superiority.

Ok, then. I'm going to go with "serious".

They don't envy our culture. They think it's stupid and/or useless or satanic or whatever. That's those who care. The others don't give much of a care about any of us until we put our nose in their business, something we're usually more than happy to do.

They envy its position of supremacy and its ability to accomplish things vis-à-vis their sick, weak, pathetic civilization that can't do anything.

They started it.
 
The West's apology industry.

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton expressed her “total dismay,” a reaction stronger than her comments about the Egyptian military slaughtering Copts. Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta phoned the utterly corrupt and duplicitous beneficiary of our power and money, Afghanistan president Hamid Karzai, to assure him that those responsible would be found and punished for such a “deplorable” act. Of course, this is a part of the world where brutal violence against civilians is routinely used as a tool of politics, and where torture and mutilation of the living, let alone the desecration of the dead, are standard operating procedure. Yet we cede the moral high ground to Karzai, who said the soldiers’ behavior was “inhuman and condemnable in the strongest possible terms,” something I don’t recall him ever saying about the terrorists murdering our soldiers. Even more risible was the response of the Taliban, who condemned the “inhuman act of wild American soldiers,” one “in contradiction with all human and ethical norms.” This from a group that when it ruled Afghanistan, used a European-built soccer stadium to bury non-Sharia-compliant women up to their necks and then stone them to death, and to machine-gun and behead other miscreants.

But if we pay attention to actions rather than heeding duplicitous words, the record shows that considerable numbers of Muslims hate us not for what we do, but for what we are: infidel denizens of a civilization that once trembled at the approach of Allah’s armies, but that now dominates the world and occupies the global preeminence rightfully belonging to what the Koran calls “the best of nations raised for the benefit of men.” Contra the State Deparment and the Times, “anti-American sentiment” is not something new created by our excesses in Muslim lands, but has long permeated the Middle East and doesn’t need some minor scandal to be stoked. On the contrary, we have rescued Muslims from brutal dictators, provided aid to Muslim victims of natural disasters, poured billions of dollars into Muslim countries, and none of those good deeds has improved our image among the faithful. Indeed, despite Obama’s continuous flattering “outreach” and protestations of respect for Islam, Muslims still don’t like him or the United States much.

Where is your evidence for that envy? Other than just
your thinking it must be true?

They started it?
Well, actually, 'they' didn't, though someone certainly escalated it.

I don't think any of them actually believes that. Where did you get this idea ? Where's your evidence ?

Do you have a specific example in mind of fundamentalist muslims invading and occupying western nations and ressources ?
