Video appears to show troops urinating on corpses

Video appears to show troops urinating on corpses
By Craig Whitlock

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.

The brief video, which runs for less than a minute, began circulating on Web sites early Wednesday. It depicts four Marines laughing as they relieve themselves while standing over three prostrate bodies. (The video, which includes graphic images, appears here.)

A caption asserts that the Marines are part of a scout sniper team with the 3rd Battalion, 2nd Marines, an infantry unit from Camp Lejeune, N.C. Members of the unit were deployed to Afghanistan last year but returned in September.

Capt. Kendra N. Hardesty, a Marine Corps spokesman, said officials would “fully investigate” the matter but so far have been unable to verify the video’s authenticity or if members of the battalion were involved.

Im glad they did that. We actually froze the screen and got a nice screen shot of the Marines urinating on the Taliban insurgents. We then put a nice Microsoft Word frame around it and sent it to the plotter! It looks AWESOME blown up big!

If someone shoots at you, killing them and peeing on they're corpse is a great idea.

Crawl back into your hole liberals, most people approve of this behavior you detest. I showed this to about 15 people and they all said the same thing, "Good!"

Realize this, you are a minority in your beliefs. Less than 20% of our nation identifies as liberal. You are less than 2 out of 10 with your beliefs. FACT

Have a nice day!

Piss on 'em.

They're trying to kill us, and I'm sure they wouldn't show our own corpses any more respect.

Piss on 'em.

You know, sir, my attitude is this:

No one in my life has ever threatened to kill me, has ever been poised to kill me, and so I really don't know how I'd react to such a situation.

However, I strongly suspect that if such were to happen, and I managed to kill him first, I'd do a Hell of a lot more than piss on the corpse.  It's a perfectly normal and understandable reaction.

Not so much idiots these Libs but people that have no conception of war outside the Gang Turf wars in the city.

It took us a while to win the Revolution fighting by their Gentlemans Napoleonic rules, only when we went to gorilla warfare or Indian tactics did we get our freedom.

Along came the civil war. Because both sides Generals had been educated in warfare using the Napoleonic rules, it became a massacre with of all things, File Closers.   Only at the near end of that war did the fighters on both sides go back in time to gorilla fighting.   

We know very little about actual war but what we read of or see on TV and the internet.   

So let me get this straight now, the Liberals believe this is a game with strict rules, only on our side naturally. We cannot expect the enemy to follow any kind of rules-----Some even call the enemy" Freedom Fighters."

A shooting war has NO rules, it is man against man.  There will be atrocities committed on both sides, looting, rape and indignities.

Where and how the Liberals came to the conclusion that it is fine and dandy to kill someone trying to kill them but the dead body should be treated in a dignified fashion, no cutting off of ears and never piss on people trying to kill you, WTF?????

I was a bit outraged when we years ago named a battle ship after Rammel the German desert fox, whose idea was it to grant homage to a past enemy that killed so many of our country men?????

We spend millions and billions of dollars a year training men and women to be ruthless in protecting our country, now it seems we must also instruct our warriors in the socially excepted ways of war. 

What is conduct unbecoming an Officer, good conduct is to kill the enemy---Bad conduct is to disrespect the dead enemy ???

I still chafe at the burial at sea with all due respect to that evil man we sought for so long.   Have we lost our minds to this extent????

Indians collected scalps from their enemy, some African tribes collect the pinus of their dead enemy, we at one time collected the ears of our enemys, so friggen what------War is not run by gentleman with a 8,000 mile away perspective on a war that they never experienced.     

All is fair in love and WAR, and those Liberals that want to get involved need to be on site to make any claims, not in DC with a private securiety at beck and call and never had to life in a bunker for protection.

To the muslim mind and way of thinking, only dead muslims get respect. Notice that they have destroyed all the christian graveyards in the middle east. SO, eat bacon, drink beer and piss on them.

My deal is, I've always enjoyed the luxury of never having my life threatened.

However, there's many who haven't had that luxury, including nearly all those in military service.

So whatever someone wants to do with the corpse of someone who has just tried to kill one, is fine with me.

Tanker here slightly scolded me for saying nearly the same thing a few years ago, reminding me that military people are supposed to act in a professional manner; it's expected of them.

True.

But military people are people, too, with the normal human feelings and instincts.

While it's nice to know that both the American and British militaries have a long-standing, near-100%-compliance, with acting in a professional and dignified manner even while under the line of fire--and of course that sort of conduct needs encouraged--one has to allow for, and forgive, the occasional lapse.

Military people are people too, with the normal human feelings and instincts.

Several years later, I'm still pissed off at the treatment one of our own got during the height of the War for the Liberation of Iraq, when he was drummed out of the Marines (or somesuch penalty; I forget) for "losing it" in front of some terrorist who had just tried killing his men.

The Council on Islamic-American Relations, a prominent Muslim civil rights and advocacy group based in Washington, quickly condemned the video.

"We condemn this apparent desecration of the dead as a violation of our nation's military regulations and of international laws of war prohibiting such disgusting and immoral actions," the group wrote in a letter faxed to Defence Secretary Leon Panetta.

I would agree with you except the Christians in that area may also follow the dietary laws of the Muslims-----7 day Adventists in America eat no pork. Not a good idea to have a pig picking in a Christian Cemetery.

Grave yards are small things compaired to Christian Churches full of living people that are fire bombed by Muslims.

Christianity is now outlawed in some places, this takes in the beliefs of anyone not Muslim.

Johnny, we fear rilling these people up, Muslims will go on the rampage and burn down their own towns when they feel their Prophet has been insulted. So we cause riots in some town in bum**** middle east, the inhabitants will do more damage to their lives then we can.

 We are at WAR, why not push these people to the limit, use the psychological edge we have. Use their insane faith against them.    We know their weaknesses, why not use that against them?

Dogs, snakes and hogs their worse nightmare.    Could be interesting if instead of the dogs of war we trained small hogs to do the same.

Florida has a problem with the huge snakes, capture them alive and send 50 or so into a village where the terrorists are hiding. There must be plenty of rats in these places to feed them and cause chaos to the enemy.

To win a WAR one must work on the enemy's weakness, find their soft spot and attack it.

Most of Europe is afraid of the Muslims moving in, soon it will be America.    Time to cut bait or fish my Lad, do we cower as Europe has or find a way to make America unfriendly to the invading hoards????

If it happened, it's an unsurprising bit of behavior, but an act of indiscipline that will have to be dealt with.  Any form of corpse desecration (Or prisoner abuse by the poorly-supervised morons at Abu Ghraib) is a recruiting poster for the opposition in counterinsurgent warfare, which neutralizes ten good acts of building schools, treating the sick, protecting the weak, or feeding the hungry, because it makes us look like just a different gang of heavily-armed assholes instead of a better class of heavily-armed asshole.

It doesn't amaze me that Soldiers and Marines do stupid shit, what does amaze me is that there are still some of them stupid enough to think it's a good idea to take pictures or video of it.

While it's all understandable, winking at something relatively harmless (To us, but definitely not to the local indigines) like this and blowing it off will quickly get completely out of control if the chain of command doesn't step on it hard now.  They'll be lucky if they get out of this with just NJP.

Haven't the muslims dragged American soldiers bodies through the streets, burned them and then hung them up for viewing?

According to Mohammed, burning is forbidden, that is left to Allah and the hell fire. The dead muslims were on fire and the Marines were just putting out the fire.

They piss for me! I thank them.
"Liberalism is an essentially feminine, submissive world view. Perhaps a better adjective than feminine is infantile. It is the world view of men who do not have the moral toughness, the spiritual strength to stand up and do single combat with life, who cannot adjust to the reality that the world is not a huge, pink-and-blue, padded nursery in which the lions lie down with the lambs and everyone lives happily ever after."
