There is always a line between military discipline and the realities of war. Either left unchecked prove detrimental to the military’s overall effectiveness.

Troops pissing and defecating on corpses is a sure sign that order is breaking down. The same emotionalism that you laud in your post will manifest itself in other ways and get someone killed.

The real story here is that our troops are obviously doing too many combat tours, and yet our president has proposed cuts in military personnel. All this when it’s obvious that we need more troops with longer breaks between combat tours.

My point being, I don't give a $h!t about taliban corpses. If those marines derive some sort of physiological relief from it, getting revenge for a lost comrade or whatever, they shouldn't be hung out of the bowsprit by their own government.

When the “Plant manager from hell” died a few years ago we all hoped he would be buried in a local cemetery as we didn’t want to charter a bus, go all the way to the swamps of Louisiana just to p!$$ on his grave.

And we would have done it! There would never be a blade of grass grow on his grave if he were buried here!

No use talking sense to internet warriors on these threads.
