Yes. It does.

Is raping the women okay too?

Personally, I’m disappointed.

Dear USMC, piss on. God speed.

This is the enemy. Put a turban on that slant eyed prick and there you go, updated to the 21st century.

They’ll have these 20 year old Marines in jail before you know it. Meanwhile, government bureaucrats sold 2000 rifles illegally to Mexican drug smugglers resulting in the death of at least two LEO and a couple hundred Mexican citizens. Not only is there not anyone in jail or under indictment, not one person has even been fired. I could care less if they pissed on a couple Taliban carcasses. Which is the worse offense?

Perfect Lady? Here is a perfect lady's FR home page:

Here is my deal, and if you don't like it, don't talk to me.

  1. I am an atheist. You will not convert me. Don't bother trying.You will not understand my reasons. I know this for a fact, because I have already had this conversation 100 times with 100 different believers.
  2. I am a public school teacher. If you are opposed to all government schools, I have no interest in talking to you. I blame you for the current state of the schools, because YOU left the teaching profession to the liberals to monopolize.
  3. No, I don't want to talk about sex via Freepmail.
  4. My screen name: I chose it not because I am a perfect lady, but to try and remind myself to control my temper, which is a Floating Iceberg of Doom showing only its tip most of the time. Do not bother telling me that I am not "really" a perfect lady. I know that.

I had not seen her page. Holy sh$T!!! My God what an arrogant, conceited, condescending young’n. There is a word we used to call these chippies years back, I don’t know if the younger guys still use it but thinking back it fits her to a T. Know the word I’m thinking of?!

Oh, great. Now we get racism thrown into the mix. But didn’t you read Norm Lenhart’s post? He said our troops should descend to the level of the enemy. So our troops in WWII should have been the same pricks the Japanese soldier in the photo was.

If you were an eyewitness to My Lai then you answered your own question. If you weren’t there you don’t know what happened...you know what you read about it.

This thread is about the Marines whizzing on dead enemy bodies after a fire-fight. They are excused..IMHO for acting out. Adrenalin levels make people under extreme stress do things they wouldn’t normally do.

I guess pissing on a corpse and beheading are equal actions in your mind.

We aren’t talking about raping women....we are talking about the action of relieving themselves on the bodies of dead Taliban who were trying to kill them and didn’t get to...that day. The Marines were just doing what so many say about allah....piss be upon him.

On February 1, 1943, Life magazine published a photograph taken by Ralph Morse during the Guadalcanal campaign showing a decapitated Japanese head that US marines had propped up below the gun turret of a tank. Life received letters of protest from people "in disbelief that American soldiers were capable of such brutality toward the enemy." The editors responded that "war is unpleasant, cruel, and inhuman. And it is more dangerous to forget this than to be shocked by reminders." However, the image of the decapitated head generated less than half the amount of protest letters that an image of a mistreated cat in the very same issue received.[10]

Well, while you’re running around talking tough smack to strangers on the internet, the top brass have decided that Perfect Lady is right. The investigation commences, and charges are most likely to be filed. I hope the Marines aren’t treated too harshly, but I do want them to know that anyone who isn’t a rabid dog (at least from the safety of a computer barricade) disapproves of what they did and expects better. Why don’t you go get in those Marine’s faces and let them know what a bad-ass you are, hm?

YOU SAID that *anything they do* is justified because they are Marines. I’m glad to see you realized what a foolish position that was.

Having been called worse by better people, I’d say that questioning the actions of American men amped up in the middle of or immediately following a fight for their lives against ‘scum of the earth” is the action of a bleeding heart liberal.

““We sleep safe in our beds because rough men stand ready in the night to visit violence on those who would do us harm.””
-George Orwell

Have a safe, if “disappointed” nap.
