U.S. Marines probe video of men urinating on Taliban corpses
Reuters ^ | Wed Jan 11, 2012 7:24pm EST | Phil Stewart

Posted on 01/11/2012 6:04:29 PM PST by Pan_Yan

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.

Hey nOOb troll, You are an idiot if you think ANYTHING done to the taliban by our men is gonna ramp up or regulate their hate and rage against us westerners, military or civilians. Yeah, like they need reasons. They are muslims! that is what they do, hate, hate, hate. Remember our men strung up on that bridge? Oh I suppose that was okay with you? Get a clue nOOb.

Very easy, people like this dishonor the uniform. I suspect the court martial will see likewise.

You are 100% correct. When we dehumanize our enemies it is easier on our conscience when we kill them. I carried a pic of the WTC when I was in Iraq. Made myself a little angry prior to going on patrol.

People like this are who I’d want serving beside me.

PC cowards like you are why we’re still fighting these Godless, civilian killing, child raping, women beating, goat humping, low life worthless pieces of dirt.

You are in the wrong place and on the wrong side.

No smoldering hardwood, Hilary Clinton dishonored the Marine’s uniform when she was in the whitehouse. Maybe you were too young.

She treated the WH Marine Guard, responsible for protecting the WH from attack (as opposed to the praetorian secret service who do not do that). She treated them like waiters, in fact asking them to bring her drinks and canapes on trays. They did it, but never forgot.

Just off hand you can take your “concern” and wipe it on the 7 day sh***ers caftan. You get this “leak” from the concerned pvt gaga manning? Wuss.

this practice could be improved by adding some sort of “point system” so scores could be kept.

Odd, I thought people of your sexual persuasion enjoyed this kind of activity.

Boys will be boys, or in your case, girls.

My apologies, Jim, but this newbie p***d me off.

I cannot imagine the outrage at the stuff that went on in the Trojan War. Good thing they did not have cameras back then.

As poster #18 in a thread about Marines who did nothing wrong, you are really, really, really in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Incidentally, the liars at Reuters-Rooter have been caught manufacturing videos and stills several times. The Jew-hating Nazis at Reuters are especially fond of manufacturing stories about how evil Israel is toward bombers, mass murderers and terrorists. If you get a chance to read Reuters Middle-East edition, you’ll think you’ve been transported back to Nazi Germany, and you’re reading Julius Streicher’s hate-sheet called Der Juden.

Say you’re sorry and maybe we’ll let your leftist ass hang around for our amusement another day or two.
