Washington Post blog ^ | 1-12-12 | Haley Crum

The Marine Corps said Wednesday that it is investigating the origins of a video on the Internet that purports to show Marines in combat gear urinating on the corpses of three Taliban insurgents.

Apples and oranges...anything a Marine does is justified. Sometimes Marines, like all people, make mistakes and that is human but a Marine who remembers his training will not do that.....ergo a Marine in his Marine mind-set will never do anything unjustified. Bless them all!

You really need to look up “perspective” in a dictionary.

I am perfectly fine with what I’m saying.

Also, look up Patton and his take on the lubricative requirements of tank treads. Now if you want to put your high horse above an American hero like Patton, be my guest.

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.

Well, I doubt it'll be the first time you were wrong.

Well, it’ll be Marines bringing charges against these Marines, it looks like. So... ? :^) You just have your opinion then. It’ll be handled by the military, and they won’t be checking with you.

Agreed. Don’t care about the action. Making a video was just dumb.

Once, long ago when Americans weren’t disappointing in their military, I thought I was wrong...turns out I wasn’t though.

Being an atheist and all, I don’t see why this bothers you.

There isn’t a real Marine in this country that would charge these fine young warriors with anything.....it’s the CIC, their superior who will push this and I doubt your phone is ringing to get your input from the Obama administration....or is it?

The pussification of the American citizen is about the only truly ‘disappointing’ thing I see on this thread.

Imagine these bleeding hearts saying these things in WW1 or 2. How far we’ve fallen.

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

Oh really? I'll bet you've never walked a mile in those Marines' boots.

I'd be willing to bet that those young men have watched friends and buddies get blown to bits by the Taliban. What sort of mindset do you think that produces in a person?

They're living in an absolute nightmare of hell, and you want to condemn them for 'relieving' a bit of their pent-up tension and rage? I say give them all kitchen duty for a week, and a little something extra in their pay envelope.

Well said Norm. It is running about 90%-10% in favor of our point of view though. Our brave fallen men from WW2 would be turning over in their graves reading some of the limp wrist bleeding heart sniveling crap the 10% are putting up. Shameful. Pissing on dead terrorists! BIG DAMN DEAL! The Oh gee, the muslims won’t like us now crowd.....Like they did before huh? But, but, but....they will treat our guys bad now if they are captured.......like they did before huh? How G/D stupid can ya get??? ‘Pussification’ of America? You nailed it Norm

Any time people pee somewhere they shouldn't, it bothers me. Why you have to believe in God to find urinating on other humans--live or dead-- disgusting, I do not know, but I'm thankful that you do believe in God or who knows what you'd be doing right now, as apparently it's the only thing stopping you.

Why don’t you find a “real Marine” who doesn’t approve of this, because there are many, and tell it to their face? Hm, Big Man On Internet?

Sorry, “bobby” (appropriate enough). I’m not curious enough to look up anything from you.

They are REAL Marines. They don’t get any more real. As a once active REAL Marine myself, I approve this piss on.

Sorry ‘IMperfect’ lady (appropriate enough. Youngn’ chippie is more like it. what a crock, perfect my old butt), you liberals and muslim lovers are to damn dumb to look anything up other than what other ways you can find to dump on our brave servicemen and women. Go take your bleeding heart anti American crap back to the DUmp toots, I hear they like to aid and comfort America’s enemies by making a political mountain out of a mole hill, (pissing on dead muslim terrorists, muslim terrorists who if still alive, would feel great pleasure to slowly saw your young arrogant, conceited and naive head off), just as you do.
