The Marine Corps said Wednesday that it is investigating the origins of a video on the Internet that purports to show Marines in combat gear urinating on the corpses of three Taliban insurgents.

I’m not saying Pee-Boys aren’t real Marines, I’m saying that the definition of a real Marine is NOT: One who approves of urinating on the dead. I’m sure there are plenty of very tough, focused, brave men out there who find this sort of act low-class, childish, and not at all impressive.

[A_perfect_lady]

If the only definition of conservative is “one who likes to urinate on others,” you can have it.

Take your anti American liberal crap back to the DUmp you Godless T-seee.

Nobody could find a “real Marine” who would fault these guys. The Marines I asked think things happen in war and that’s how it is. They stick with their fellow Marines. BTW, I’m neither big nor a man and I’m done with you and your snarky manners. Semper Fi USMC!

Why don’t you pee on your computer?

Who hasn't?

[A_perfect_lady]

You’re done? Good. Go pee on someone like a real man.

[A_perfect_lady]

Oh, now I'm anti-American because I think no one should be peeing on dead bodies? Maybe that should be our new slogan: America! Where the men are men and the dead are wet!

As Scarlett O’Hara once remarked:

“Oh, piddle-dee-dee!”

32,000 responses and 82% don’t find it surprising. Guess we’re all uncouth racists.

Somewhere, Daniel Pearl is smiling!

[Palladin]

Oh, Aunt Ida...quick, get the smelling salts!

[Palladin]

I bet Patton’s dog whizzed on many an enemy.

should have cut their heads off and dragged them through the streets.

[trisham]

I sincerely hope so.

[A_perfect_lady]

Oh, another one who thinks “disappointed” means “outraged, heartbroken, and staggering around dizzy with horror”? Oh well, at least you know a lot of smaller words.

[trisham]

I don’t know for certain if you’re anti-American, but your remarks regarding our Marines are much, much more than disappointing.

[Palladin]

My lesser vocabulary is all I care to spend on a twit like you.

Don’t bother responding: you are on permanent “IGNORE”.

Any time people pee somewhere they shouldn’t,...

There are only two places they shouldn’t,
on my porch and on a live wire and I really
don’t care if they do on a live wire.

I think the part you’re missing is that these
MEN are alive, it could very easily have gone
the other way then the taliban would have been
pissing on them, if not cutting off their genitals
and stuffing them in their mouths.

Kipling said it very well.

“When you’re lying out wounded on Afghanistan’s plains
and the women come out to cut up what remains,
just roll to your rifle and blow out your brains
and go to your god like a soldier.”

The Marines are at war, America is at the mall.

That's your response? "The Taliban does it too-ooo!" Are there no adults left in this country? I don't want our men behaving like the Taliban, is that so unreasonable? Kill the enemy all you want. Kill 'em good and graveyard dead. Bury them face down in unmarked graves, and waterboard the survivors for information. Fine with me.

But there are two things I don't want to see our Marines doing, and one of them is peeing on dead bodies. The other is sodomizing prisoners, and I hope we would all be "disappointed" at that, too. Or am I alone on that one as well?

[tet68]

sodomizing prisoners

Now where did that come from?

We were talking about showing contempt for
enemies not gay sex.
