“Like Glenn Beck says, “America is Great because America is Good”.”

Beck usually states that he got that from DeToqueville’s Democracy In America.

“Not surprising” is a pretty lame option. Where the FUBO?

Let’s see. The other guys descrate and behead prisoners. The they hide the bodies [in many cases]. Our guys pee on their bodies. Yeah, that’s a big woop! Who cares!

“This is what I get out of it:
1) Those draining the weasel are draining out their honor. Now if the taliban guys were alive and not bound, say the marines snuck up on them and pee’d off a roof onto them, then that takes brass balls. But this is without honor or bravery or anything. It’s pretty lame.
2) The guy who filmed it was dumb as a box of rocks for doing it and doubled down letting it into the public, whether by accident or otherwise.
3) Those that got filmed are even more dumb letting themselves be put on tape. And a tape out of their control!

It comes down to this: no honor, no merit, no gain, just dumb.”


And they were stupid enough to video tape it. Surprised how many in here consider this to be honorable actions by the Marines. Guess they wouldn’t raise a fuss if the Taliban urinated on dead US troops.

The Marxis Left is again trying to make a Haditha incident out of this, ignoring the atrocities committed by the terrorists.
When will Americans learn?

I don’t need to waste my time, you muslims fly away all on your own. Don’t forget to get on the rug tomorrow morning and pray to your allah for a safe flight before you launch your carpet heading east. I’d suggest a prayer for our American fighting men and women as you pass over....but we know where you stand in regards to our brave warriors, now don’t we...

The Marines should piss on Panetta every time they see this pathetic loser. What a douche bag.

Semper Fi, Marines!

No, you don’t know anything. I said I was disappointed in them and I am, because I have higher expectations for American men. Of course, when I talk to strutting, chest-thumping internet tough guys like you, my estimation goes down a notch...

I like to think American men are different.

In this case, not much. But what to chalk it up to?

Proud of them. Don’t try to “nanny” real men. Real men react. Like male dogs pissing on their territory. Natural.

Can’t take it? Go sew a quilt and have some tea.

There is nothing you can do about me. I have my opinion and you can’t shut me up. I AM DISAPPOINTED IN THEM. That’s no way for a Marine and an American to act. Calling me a muslim because I think American men shouldn’t pee on corpses only proves that there really is no fool like an old fool.
