Doh, I’m still inept at posting links. Can someone clean up the two links for me, pretty-please?
Is the date the video was made public knowledge yet? How old is it?
Has it been in the wings, waiting for an operative to spring to the MSM?
And some of us remember American bodies being hung from bridges.
One can believe that since the lame-stream media loves and adores our Nation's Military they only have their best interests for our Nation and Nation's Military in their hearts. {Dripping sarcasm}
The lame-stream would never offer aid and comfort to America's enemies. That has never happened, and there are no instances which can be referenced. {more Dripping sarcasm}
Our Nation's lame-stream media has been more than lame-stream, or Drive-By, as Rush coined. Saddened by the lame-stream leaving NO DOUBT whose side they are truly pulling for in this war, yet no surprised.
i’m reminded of a video that came out early inthe war depicting us troops raping an arab woman. turns out to have been a porn film adn those in it were the actors. i’m wondering similar worries here...
This is why traditionally the militaty has HATED diaries and any other “archival” type devices in war. THESE GUYS WERE STUPID TO TAKE PICS OF THIS!
My only issue is that it should not have been filmed.
War is hell.
Hmmmmm.....Another thought: Or Barry wants an excuse to give away the store in "negotiations", and the fallout from the pi$$ing incident provides the admin cover....
I would just like to know who took the video.
as ususal....its the video taping stupid!
They just KILLED these guys, so lets not talk about disrespecting the bodies.
So what? These guys are dead! Why would they care? They used to cut off the ears of Charlie too, but so what?
The thought I’m mulling in the back of my mind is that Obama is using Afghanistan to get rid of the patriotic troops, either by death, injuries, or demoralization.
The most telling moment, I think, was when Obama’s people wanted to apologize for bombing Hiroshima and Japan wouldn’t let them. The thing the terrorists/Islamists want more than anything is a protracted war where the opposition views it as immoral to actually kill first before the enemy kills you. The free world could turn the Islamic world into glass and be done with it. Instead, we’re letting grown men use their women and children as human shields so that they - and we - can die slow, painful deaths while an Islam (that is hell-bent on terrorizing the whole world into becoming Muslim) spreads all over the world.
We talk about Chamberlain’s appeasement of Hitler, and rightly say that appeasement only fuels bullies. Well, Islam is by its very nature a bully bent on domination through violent means and the suppression of anybody who has a free, independent thought. It’s Hitler on steroids. If it was OK to take out Germany and anybody who sided with Germany, then why is it not OK to take out the Islamists and anybody who sides with them? Because Islam calls itself a “religion” they’re untouchable? Murderous tyrants are OK as long as they claim to be doing it for God?
I think we need to think long and hard about the enemies we face and get serious about facing them.
Soldiers have been desecrating bodies of dead enemy since the spear and shield were the weapons of choice. America did not invent bad behavior by soldiers , but as with slavery, America seems to get the rap, thanks to our media.
This sort of behavior is not the norm for Marines, and for America. Like Beck says, “America is Great, because America is Good”. We’re the country that rescues our enemy from the hands of pirates, for Christ sake.
I could honestly care less what they did to the bodies in private, but what were they thinking breaking out the video camera? Did they not realize how fast that little video would spread around the globe and what consequences that would lead too? What the heck were they thinking? When I was in the service they always reminded us when we were on foreign soil, that we were American ambassadors. What the people see in us when they come in contact, is how they will perceive Americans for the rest of their lives. When a few knuckleheads take it on their own put this on video for the whole world to see, they are doing great damage to America’s image. The Image us soldiers and sailors of the past tried so hard to build. And at the worse this could lead to a retaliation that is to horrific to imagine.
You may or may not agree with my commentary, but this proud veteran stands by it.
Just tell the NEA they were trying to create art but didn’t have a cross and a mason jar.
Interesting reading.
I have no problem with this...as long as they washed their hands afterwards.
This is terrible, what kind of a creep takes pictures of people taking a leak!
