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.

I hope Rudyard Kipling is required reading in the war college.

Pardon me but I must go Urine-gate. I'll laugh when I get back.

Thanks, AIT, for calming me down.

“Better to be urinated on than set on fire, dragged through the streets and hung from a bridge.”

My thoughts exactly.

Like I said, anyone who in any way defends urinating on corpses as something noble and admirable is mentally disturbed.

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.

Actually all they understand is this type of behavior, in fact they would not only do this but dismember the bodies and you don't have to be dead first..

The only way to get their attention is to walk up and bluntly without fanfare splatter their nose across their face. Violence is what gets their attention and their fear.....I could give a damn if they respect us.

The day they truly become unafraid of us, you and the likes of you will hide behind these men and beg for them to protect you.

Unfortunately, that day is coming sooner than any of us would like.

Women, despite their genitalia, never really understand men, do they.

Great post!

Cry me a river.

I think this is hilarious and have no problem with it, considering what the goatfackers have done to their brothers. Other than filming it and having noncombatants seeing it, that is. Foolish, what happens on the battlefield should stay on the battlefield.

Get some Devil Dogs.

And now by announcing the probes, the Marines guarantee now that everybody in Afghanistan will now know about it.

“When you are wounded and dying on Afghanistan’s plains
and the women come out to cut up what remains
Just roll to your rifle and blow out your brains
and go to your Gawd like a soldier.”

That is the best I can do on memory. Apologies to Rudyard if I made a mistake.

“and the women come out to cut up what remains”

My gosh. Gee wiz. That’s not very noble or admirable. Perhaps BurningOak could write a scathing reprimand./s

Glad you could chime in n00b. Except I don't give a damn if they did, or if you like it.
