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.

Oh BS. Who gives a good damn about enraging a people who want you dead anyway.?
Do you really think that this will make them want to kill Americans faster than they already do?
It may draw them out where American soldiers can kill them quicker.
You can tell we all feel pretty bad about this.........
BWAAA HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Pee is not needed to “enrage” Muslims ... non muslims breathing is enough
"People sleep peacefully in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to visit violence on those who would do them harm."
Geeorge Orwell
The Afghan mob is pretty raunchy itself. I doubt they take offense from any of this ~ besides, watching TV or videos is UNTALIBAN ~ there’s a death penalty for such behavior.
Compared to what the taliban have done to captured infidels (i.e. our troops), I would say they got off pretty easy. After seeing images of the bodies of US troops being hung from bridges, burned, beheaded, and other awful things, the taliban should be lucky that we just don’t carpet bomb their a$$e$ into oblivion. Total warfare requires total commitment, and the taliban is trying to use our media to break our will to fight. They took the strategy straight out of the north vietnamese playbook. Don’t fall for it, their goal is to break our will to fight.
I just finished reading this nOOb's posting history too. He's an idiot "concern" troll who takes every opportunity to bash Gingrich as a serial adulterer.
All the "concern" trolls seem to do that.
IBTZ!
The enemy hates the Americans. Understand that. Oh, and welcome to FR.
Outrageous!
Don’t the Marines know the pigs those Taliban will be fed to might catch a disease that way?
Troops need to be trained to NOT screw around on camera. Bad stuff always turns up.
Is that as bad as defecating on a police car?
I thoroughly don’t understand the filming part.
You win my friend :)
Couldn't agree more! Our Marines need to be ruthless, vicious killers. No sarcasm intended.
Most Americans have no idea...when I was in the Marines we used to sing songs about killing. Killing birds, killing cats, killing the civilian guy who's f’ing your girlfriend while your at war, etc.. Why? Because that's what Marines do - kill. It's a lot harder to kill something you respect than something you don't. That's what war is. If we don't want it to happen, we shouldn't send them to war...and I'm all for that too.
The Taliban need to fear us, our enemies need to fear us.
a dishonorable discharge was just wbat the marines were aiming 4
“disgusting and pointless vulgarity “
Pretty easy to criticize it from the safe and sound inside the gates, eh?
I’d like to see them urinating on some journalists too.
lol. I was actually thinking of Helen Thomas when I posted. Perhaps a sprinkling with hog urine would be preferable... lol
I shouldn’t say that. I’m about as ugly as Helen Thomas but my husband either doesn’t mind or he’s a good faker. lol
