The video, which was posted on YouTube and other websites, shows four men in camouflage Marine combat uniforms urinating on the bodies of three dead Taliban.
One of them jokes: "Have a nice day, buddy." Another makes a lewd joke about a shower.
A copy of the video can be seen here
"While we have not yet verified the origin or authenticity of this video, the actions portrayed are not consistent with our core values and are not indicative of the character of the Marines in our Corps," the Marines said in a statement.
"This matter will be fully investigated."
Two U.S. military officials, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the video appeared to be authentic at first look but Reuters could not independently verify the video or its source.

I thought this was SOP.
War is hell; and sometimes wet.
Better to be urinated on than set on fire, dragged through the streets and hung from a bridge.
Just don’t film it.

I do not like to see reports of U.S. soldiers cutting off fingers or ears of dead Taliban. It just strikes me as disgusting.
On the other hand, I am perfectly happy to see them urinated on.
Would pig urine be better - to convince them that they’re not going to get 72 virgins if they mess with us?
Okay, so the Left has convinced people that Pi** Christ is high art but pi** showers for dead terrorists is sacrilege.
Why would Marine Corps officials even make a comment before being able to authenticate the video? This kind of presentation can be easily staged and faked.
“urinating on the bodies of three dead Taliban.”
Awww. What a shame.
Well they could have tore there genitals off and chopped there heads off and paraded them around hung them from street light f them they got off easy
They can always claim they were just trying to cleanse them. You know their feet have to be washed ... and urine does a nice job, in a pinch, to kill toe fungus!
ask me if I care
Amazing the higher ups would take the time from probing each other...
Dishonorable discharge maybe even a few months behind bars. This kind of disgusting and pointless vulgarity will just further enrage the Afghan mob and may cause violent retaliation against other soldiers, these retards may have inadvertently killed American soldiers.
Well it’s better to pissed off than pissed on...oh wait. Nice to see some priorities still remain.
Gee whiz... er holy crap...
Nevermind.
