Mural In Tehran Mocks U.S. Soldiers

I wouldn't say that the mural mocks the Marines (not "soldiers").

"To mock" means "to belittle, make fun of, or laugh at derisively."

The mural shows victorious U.S. troops (albeit planting a flag on what appears to be a large pile of unarmed non-combatants).

Showing our valiant troops running away scared - that would be mocking.

I would say that representing US troops as murderers instead of victors is belittling.

Abe knew it well!

0bama and his pals can blow all the smoke the want.
Changes nothing.

It would be better if they, at a minimum, had the names correct.

The victors are UNITED STATES MARINES!
