Like I said, anyone who in any way defends urinating on corpses as something noble and admirable is mentally disturbed.
“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.
So noobie with a tag line that is an unwritten reply to clintonfatigued, what do YOU consider Noble and Admirable in warfare?
Since this is a subject of great historical reference with many Freepers experts in history, this should be interesting— that is, the standard to which you hold soldiers who are your betters.
It’s not meals on wheels woodie... it’s the Marines, in country. If, in fact this is not manufactured by Reuters- which has happened before.
Kipling had some words for you:
“We aren’t no thin red ‘eroes, nor we aren’t no blackguards too,
But single men in barricks, most remarkable like you;
An’ if sometimes our conduck isn’t all your fancy paints,
Why, single men in barricks don’t grow into plaster saints;
While it’s Tommy this, an’ Tommy that, an’ “Tommy, fall be’ind”,
But it’s “Please to walk in front, sir”, when there’s trouble in the wind,
There’s trouble in the wind, my boys, there’s trouble in the wind,
O it’s “Please to walk in front, sir”, when there’s trouble in the wind.”
I sure hit target. I guess you didn’t like hearing about how Reuters creates lies and fake news.
That you defend this manufactured Nazi propaganda tells everyone what you are.
Go back to your goosestepping poodle-boys at Reuters and tell them you failed to convince anyone - again.
You're right.
They should never have urinated on the corpses.
They should have poured bacon grease on them instead.
The type of people (until recently, men) who are the best at combat tend to have senses of humour that gibe with their craft. You may see it as brutish, but war does brutalize. As the older generation put it, "war is hell."
The only reason why this would hurt the U.S. war effort is because nation-building has been piled onto the soldiers' shoulders. Adding nation-building has given some people the notion that trained soldiers should act like canvassers for an election.
Traditionally, enlisted troops have been cut slack in way that officers aren't. Officers are supposed to be gentlemen (now ladies and gentlemen); enlisted soldiers aren't. Could it be that you're holding those Marines to too high a standard?
Had enough beating for one night nOOb troll? NEVER disparage our brave servicemen again here. They are rightly revered on FR.....but I guess maybe you have figured it out by now from the almost universal disgust at your little girl, sniveling posts by the other FReepers on this thread tonight....then again you probably don’t get it.
