Marines Urinating on Dead Guys?

I have been told Santa is real. I don't believe it anymore.

Anyway, it seems you are more concerned about them urinating on these people then them being blown away in the first place.

Personally, I would prefer the urination to the being blown away.

No - more bothered about the wild animals, like these marines, creating a more dangerous world for the rest of us.

What are they even doing there? Protecting the opium fields?

So thick = sub-human?

Differing experiences, I suppose. Most everyone I know has a connection to the US Military. As a conservative estimate, I'd guess that I interact with a couple thousand current and former service members every month. They are, on average, smarter, better educated, and better behaved than their non-service peers*.

The US Military is a large organization, and while it attracts a broad cross-section of America, it also appeals to a few unsavory segments. Gangbangers come for the training. CallofDutyWarriors come because they confuse real life with video games. The military gets a fair share of maladjusted individuals that will, contrary to considerable training, conduct themselves inappropriately when given the chance.

This activity (it is real) is embarrasing. It is inexcusable. I hope the guilty parties are punished appropriately. That it occured is not an indictment of service in general, or of the hundreds of thousands of servicemembers that don't do such things.






* low standard, I admit. In most cases, a young Soldiers "peer" is a frat boy college kid away from home for the first time, or an 18 year old townie working for a subsistance wage and out on the town the one night a month he can afford it.

yes Sarge, you are probably right on that one. These disgusting elements need to be removed.

As he is speaking specifically about his family, I can't say that he is misleading. In fact, servicemembers are better educated than the average American - especially true among minorities.
 
"Gang of urinating men filmed standing over people they apparently killed". There's a headline for you.

They were going to let the dead family thing slide, but then the urinating! That's just going too far.

Sometimes I wonder if people are deliberately obtuse. The outrage is not necessarily the killing. It's understandable someone may have to put down an armed combatant. Urinating on their body is completely unnecessary.

If you look, you'll realize I posted in direct reply to a post suggesting that peeing on the dead results in 9/11 type scenarios.

It is going to far.

To imply otherwise shows a remarkable lack of respect for the dead. Honor and respect has been shown to the deceased in war for as long as there has been war.

We can't cry about our soldiers getting disrespected and then turn around and do it ourselves.

Way to get the wrong end of the stick.

I absolutely believe in the sanctity of the dead, and honoring a dead foe.

I merely feel really important things like improper wars (with associated massive loss of life) and wholesale legalized torture are treated like trivia by the media and large sections of the American public, but pee on some dead guys and there is moral outrage.

So it is ludicrous by association to larger events and attitudes, obviously not the act itself.
 
I agree with the others that have said to punish these pukes, and kick them out of our Marines.

Marines don't behave like that. None of the members of our Military should. It's disrespectful, and disgusting.

While I understand that sometimes emotions get heated....(the guy was trying to kill him just before that) and you want to retaliate in some way, but this is not it.

Look at the respect we showed for the corpse of OBL. We followed Islamic traditions, and gave the piece of **** a proper burial. Even though, myself included, wanted to see his head on a stick, paraded through Manhattan, then kicked around like a soccer ball. But, we don't do that.

Disgusting.

I did notice since that post came right before yours, and you even quoted it. Did you bother reading the context of Oliver's reply, or what you essentially echoed -- that peeing on a body is trivial compared to killing and how that completely misses the point? Way to read for comprehension.
