You may have heard about American soldiers who urinated on the bodies of some dead Taliban insurgents. I suspect that the dead soldiers tried to kill American soldiers. War is hell. People are killed. Bodies are mutilated, blown to bits by bombs and shrapnel, and incinerated. My father had his right leg blown off in the Korean War. He would have preferred to have been urinated on if he could have kept his leg.
Here’s how Dan Murphy of the Christian Science Monitor reported on the story:
The military is investigating, and appears to have identified the four marines. Their military careers, it’s safe to say, are close to over and a court martial is almost certain. A deeper look into the Marine unit involved and its command environment is coming down the pike. That’s as it should be.
But remember that if you put enough men in combat, for enough time, this sort of thing is likely to happen.
So there’s outrage by public officials and apologies are being sent at the speed of light. Here’s what Congressman Allen West, with more than 20 years of active duty service in the United States Army, had to say about the incident:
The Marines were wrong. Give them a maximum punishment under field grade level Article 15 (non-judicial punishment), place a General Officer level letter of reprimand in their personnel file, and have them in full dress uniform stand before their Battalion, each personally apologize to God, Country, and Corps videotaped and conclude by singing the full US Marine Corps Hymn without a teleprompter.

The Leftist movement in this nation is pretty close to this level of performance art. They’ve been pissing on us citizens for decades, and still haven’t a clue how fed up we are at.
The Marines should be given a medal for going above and beyond to protect their fellow brother in arms. The Muslim dogs believe that when they are killed fighting the infedel (USMC,IDF,etc..) they go to heaven to 72 Virgins, However being buried in pig skin or having infidel pee on the body ruins that whole plan, since the Jihadi is now impure. This will have a direct result on the Jihadi bustards be less willing to fight against our man — assuming it was our policy to treat their dead against the UnHolly Quran.
Yes desecration of the dead is a BAD THING (TM) however in a given situation it should be encouraged, when it comes to dealing with Religion of Death, it gives direct tactical advantage. The Hamas and the link say so them-selfs: The infidels love life,we love death! Let them have death soaked in urine.
Unfortunately, the Obama gang in WiteHut loves the Muslim dead then USMC guys who are alive! Thats the scary part.
Surely they’ve heard the expression “I’ll piss on your grave”...well these Marines were just getting a head start.
Yeah, it’s part of our culture, sorta like beating your wife with a stick or chopping off hands for stealing. Don’t be messin’ with our cultural traditions, now!
I like Col. Allen West but, respectfully I disagree with him on this. The Saracens immolated 3,000 Americans on 9/11. Three Marines piss on three dead Saracen worthless bastards. They did that to us, so we did this to them. Whats the problem?
I say pissing on them was very mild. Yeah, I am an old Marine, and remember what the VC/NVA would do to our guys after death. Deal with it. The Marines were there, the liberal media was not.
I could not give a shiite what they think.
"You only made one mistake....you let somebody see you do it."
“The Dirty Dozen (1967): Major Reisman (Lee Marvin) to Wladislaw (Charles Bronson) imprisoned for killing an officer who was deserting on the battlefield:
“You only made one mistake....you let somebody see you do it.”

Exactly.
I have to admit I smiled when I heard this news on the radio here in Canada-I can perfectly understand their sentiments. But they made a mistake videotaping it.
btw, speaking of Charles Bronson—my mysband and I watched “Once Upon a Time in the West” today. :)
Pissing on them is just offering the respect they are due!
I could use some artwork in there.
The movie is on the military channel right now and I just heard that line.What timing.
There ain’t a damn thing wrong with the US Marine Corps.
My take on this is that he is pretty much correct. They do need to be disciplined for filming and posting it; not for having done it.
ABSULUTLY
Wow, I know some infantry and SEAL types who would nearly die for that kind of recognition. "Hey, you're one of them that pissed on those Taliban?"
Right on.
War is hell. These nutless wonder posters need to get over themselves.
Why don't you spend some time in a VFW or American Legion hall, drinking with men. It is much better than ESPN for male development. Maybe after a while you will understand what happens to your hormones and thought processes when your buddy buys the farm defending you. It is not spiking the ball for theatrics, is is releasing an overload of tension. So they taped it it... And it got out. And now all the back-benchers are in full cry with their outrage. Who published this, ask yourself that, and then think to yourself, well, if this happened we know about, what happened in a war zone where an act was not taped, or it is was, it did not get out. Here is a clue... A LOT happens that does not get out. Piss on every one here who thinks this is wrong.
