Hey Liberals:
If a crucifix submerged in urine is “art”
The dead taliban covered in Jarhead pee is a FRIGGIN MASTERPIECE.


That’s a Freeper masterpiece, mnehring!

Unprofessional behavior that may be demonstrating insecurity and frustration on the part of those desecrating the bodies.

The conduct would be covered by the The Commander's Handbook on the Law of Naval Operations, as follows:

6.2.6 War Crimes under International Law

The following acts, if committed intentionally, are examples of acts that could be considered war crimes, but would not be considered grave breaches of the [Geneva] Conventions:

2. Mutilation or other mistreatment of the dead

The only question would be if this provision includes the mistreatment of non-uniformed dead combatants (such as Taliban fighters).

I am all in favor of killing the enemy. Once the enemy is dead, however, I am not in favor of desecrating the body. This view is not unique to me. This is the traditional view of civilized societies, including the United States, and it has, as far as I know, always been a part of our military code.

I expect our guys to act better than the enemy.

Of course I am much more repelled by the abominable, murderous, brutal conduct of the muzzies than I am by a few of our guys pissing on those bodies. A reprimand or some other mild form of discipline might be in order, though. What they did, while understandable emotionally to some extent, should not be condoned or excused.

But why did they urinate on those Talaban?

Because they couldn’t reach the liberal media talking heads from that spot.

The Origins of the American Military Coup of 2012

Remember this?

As I recall it's about a war with Iran.. in 2012 -- written by a military officer as the Clintonoids were assuming power (1993) with plans to dismantle the military into global-meals-on-wheels service and a "social experiments" lab.

Well the Clintons did everything they could including IMO covering for the Islamists (political Islam, jihad and sharia law advocates) who attacked and killed Americans all during the 1990s leading to 9/11.

Now Obama intends to dismantle the military. Period.

Well, Obama should have read this document; if he's screws up the military so much that the predicted war with Iran in 2012 goes badly, he could very well see this prediction from 1992-93 come true.

not promoting it but really which is worse, peeing on the dead corpse of someone who tried to kill you or letting hundreds of thousands of POWs starve in the mud and filth with no water and no medical care like Ike did.............hmmm

I’m mildly annoyed that there is a video. OPSEC, guys. Other than that, pee at will. At Abdul too.

Haven’t seen the video but heard some holier than thou comments.

It seems like much ado about nothing.

I’m on the side of the marines and I’m sick of people pi**ing on our troops.

When the Islamist capture a marine, they behead him on live TV, seems to me this incident pales in comparison.

Leon Panetta is a candy-@ss Rear Echelon MFer.

Of course, he's got no problem using these young men as hitmen (see The Whack On Osama Bin Laden)...

They did not go far enough. They should have dropped a duece on their face and then fed them to pigs.

Honor pissing vs honor killing. Tough call.
