The last soldier I heard of urinating on the enemy was Gen. George S. Patton. Should the general, who, as much as any other, was responsible for defeating the Nazis, have been driven from the military for such an act? You’d think so from the hysteric response building in the mainstream and Left-leaning press to a video allegedly showing marines urinating on dead Taliban fighters. Presuming it’s authentic, such reaction is absurd.
We send these young men out to kill and maim their enemy. That means snuffing out their life, with all the heartbreak and tragedy involved. They usually do this with bullets that rip and tear; or larger projectiles like grenades, artillery shells, or air-dropped bombs which can shred or disintegrate a body. Often fire is involved. Is urinating on a dead body worse?
Yet as I write, I can feel the hope and purpose in a headline like AOL-Huffington Post’s, “Outrage over Purported Marine Video: A shocking video that allegedly shows American soldiers performing a ‘disgusting’ act sparks a US Marine Corps investigation.” It’s already tagged under “atrocities” and “war crimes.” What the headline writers are really saying is, “Oh please, please, another Mai Lai Massacre type scandal like in Vietnam. Well, we know it’s not going to be that big, but we can again throw bad light on the US military, which we basically hate and fear and are mad at for doing all the bad things they do.”
Of course they’ve gone to the Council on American-Islamic Relations for comment. As if they didn’t know they’d get a condemnation. But did they balance it with someone at war with the Taliban? Not a chance. And the statement says, “The video shows behavior…totally unbecoming of American military personnel and that would ultimately endanger other soldiers and civilians.”
It’s so predictable, petty, and blown out of proportion by a media that largely knows nothing of the battlefield and why a crude but ultimately innocuous act like this might happen. What do they expect in war? Tea and crumpets and the Marquess of Queensbury rules? War is hell. Most of those fighting it are young, usually 18 to 22. They are inexperienced. They are sent to deserts and other uninhabitable places with stinging insects, maddening heat and sanitary conditions the Left would be screaming was child abuse. They forge a bond with each other few peacetime friendships can ever hope to equal. They have to. It’s the only way to get through. And some of them, if not more, see that bonded friend killed or mutilated as only war can do it.
Hey Windflier, thats feeding the trolls!
I bet some are getting all excited.
Screw the Taliban. Let them eat urinal cakes...
Personally, I have no problem with them pissing on these guys. At least they didn’t do the twist off the head thing and the whole neck spelunking...THAT would have been a sight. Anyone got a picture of our guys they dragged through the streets, hung from a bridge then lit them up like TIKI TORCHES? no...short term memory loss, I guess. Or is it that we don’t want to be barbaric with the bomb vest r us crowd?
PS
Hey guys, really...you filmed it? THAT is what you should be embarrassed about.
Winston Churchill also urinated in the Rhine.
They should be collecting scalps like Aldo Rayne in Inglourious Basterds.
Like Mark Levin was saying tonight, it’s an outrage to the left when Marines piss on the Taliban but not when OWS protestors shiet on cop cars. No, they get an endorsement from Noobama and Nazi Pelosi.

Ahhh...the good old days...our leaders used to be real pissers.
What passes for shocking these days is piss poor.
It seems to me if you can kill a man you can damn well take a leak afterward, and you can damn well say have a good day, buddy.
Can't wait for them to out themselves. Piss on 'em.
Oh my.........................just love that idea!!!!!!!!!!!!! hehehehehhe I am for it after they have been used!!!
Ahhh...the good old days...our leaders used to be real pissers.
Many were. Many weren’t.
And George Patton publically stated that he’d “..personally shoot that paper hanging sonofabitch Hitler”.
Keep in mind that this is the vicious and oppressive Talaban.
A group that routinely tortured gays and oppress women and genitally mutilated 1000s of girls.
Don’t mean to excuse what the soldiers did, since it is not gallant to desecrate bodies of war dead.
But, if your buddy was killed by these inhuman Talaban oppressors, you might be tempted to act viciously in response too.
The left is perpetually shocked by the behavior of honest, patriotic people. They have no idea. If the SHTF, they're going to be shocked right out of their insanity.
To frighten other slaves from revolting, Crassus crucified 6,000 of Spartacus’ men along the Appian Way from Capua to Rome.
I say piss on them ALL dead OR alive. Compared to some of the images I have of THEIR handiwork, they should consider getting pissed on merciful.
BRAVO!
I’m sick to amost death, of this PC crap.
