‘Do I regret doing it? Hell no!’ Marine who urinated on Taliban dead says he’d do it again
Washington Times ^ | 07/17/2013 | Kristina Wong

A Marine who was fined and demoted for urinating on Taliban corpses in Afghanistan in 2011 says he would do it again.

“I regret maybe any repercussions it might have had on the Marines. But do I regret doing it? Hell no,” Sgt. Joseph Chamblin told WSOC-TV in Charlotte, N.C., adding that he would do it again.

The infamous incident was videotaped and uploaded to YouTube last year, becoming international news and raising fears of retaliation by Afghan troops against their coalition trainers.

“These were the same guys that were killing our family, killing our brothers,” said Sgt. Chamblin, who was on a mission to stop Taliban insurgents from making roadside bombs.

One of his sniper team members, Sgt. Mark Bradley, was killed by a buried bomb days before the incident. “We’re human,” he said. “Who wouldn’t if you lost your brother or mother? Wouldn’t you want revenge?”

Sgt. Chamblin said he didn’t consider endangering other troops by the act, but considered the psychological effect it would have on the enemy “because if an infidel touches the body, they’re not going to Mecca or paradise.”

“So now these insurgents see what happens when you mess with us,” said Sgt. Chamblin, adding that he is planning to retire in September and is writing a book.

The Marines court-martialed nine troops for the incident. Sgt. Chamblin, a 15-year veteran, pleaded guilty for urinating on the bodies and dereliction of duty and was fined $500 and demoted, WSOC reported.

“Do you want the Marine Corps to be a group of Boy Scout pretty boys or do you want guys that will go out and kill the people trying to take advantage of your country and kill Americans?” he said. “Which do you want? Because you can’t have both.”

They want the Marines to be a bunch of sodomites who are more worried about their next homosexual hookup than in doing their jobs.

Keep this guy’s telephone number handy

After the Left emasculates and destroys the Marine Corps, we will need someone with some common sense around to rebuild it.

Yep. Sodomite jarheads. Liberals destroy EVERYTHING they touch when they do social experiments. WARNING: BARF ALERT!

Same goes for all in the current administration, most of those in the Congress and the SCOTUS. We have turned our country over to scum!

Just damn well said Marine. I salute you. But let me get this straight in my simple sailor mind: You can kill and maim the enemy, but not pee on them? That is a disconnect that is beyond my comprehension.

Good for you Marine. Spot on! Bravo Zulu and semper fi.

This Marine Sgt would make a better Secretary of Defense than any individual Obama might consider. He would lead us to victory over these Islamic Jihadist because he understands them and how to fight them...and he would do it in quick order.

Anyone Obama might appoint is interested in exactly the opposite.

The far left wants United States Marines to become exactly what they want the Boy Scouts of America to become. Fortunately, the enlisted leadership of the USMC is (I hope!) both more faithful and more influential than the BSA's treasonous board.
