I have a strong feeling that this was not the worst that's been done to those bodies Larry Send a noteboard - 13/01/2012 10:43:34 PM
I think there are always dumb, idiotic, even sadistic people in any armed forces (same applies to quite a few professions). When I asked my dad, a Vietnam vet, what he thought, he said that while he was disappointed in their behavior, he knew of soldiers that would piss, shit, or even cut off the penises of dead Viet Cong just to vent their frustration and hatred at the enemy. It's nothing new, but it is only recently that those who used to only take "trophy pics" gained the ability to post on YouTube.

Am I the only one who doesn't care if the Marines piss on the corpses of Taliban? Tom - 13/01/2012 03:28:08 PM 2047 Views
Eh, it makes our guys look like uncivilized barbarian hicks. beetnemesis - 13/01/2012 03:37:24 PM 1225 Views
They're not? *NM* callandor1000 - 17/01/2012 09:52:28 AM 618 Views
Probably not the only one. nossy - 13/01/2012 03:51:18 PM 1367 Views
I agree. *NM* Stephen - 13/01/2012 08:11:57 PM 609 Views
Well said. *NM* ironclad - 13/01/2012 10:52:26 PM 572 Views
Excellent post. MonCul - 14/01/2012 04:23:32 PM 1055 Views
well said indeed. *NM* Aisha - 14/01/2012 06:30:21 PM 625 Views
Actually, IIRC, we were told the Afghanistan war was important because of the Talibans threat to us. Joel - 14/01/2012 11:18:28 PM 1079 Views
Yes, that was part of it. Of course. AND we were going to help bring democracy. nossy - 15/01/2012 12:42:57 AM 1076 Views
If we have time, sure. Joel - 15/01/2012 10:18:31 PM 1233 Views
ooookay. *NM* nossy - 16/01/2012 12:12:06 AM 567 Views

Re: ? nossy - 16/01/2012 12:22:39 PM 1107 Views
I quite agree with Joel on this point (frightening as that admission may be). Tom - 16/01/2012 02:01:05 PM 1102 Views
Doesn't matter. nossy - 16/01/2012 02:33:53 PM 1137 Views
Your definition of "terrible thing" seems quite elastic. Tom - 16/01/2012 07:21:12 PM 1018 Views
I knew I had a good reason to hate you! nossy - 16/01/2012 09:14:47 PM 1167 Views
It took this post for you to realize that? Tom - 16/01/2012 09:17:00 PM 1055 Views
It undermines one of our stated goals, sure, but that particular goal was bunk from the outset. Joel - 17/01/2012 06:50:11 AM 1224 Views
I am pissed at them random thoughts - 13/01/2012 06:00:56 PM 1371 Views
Yup. *NM* Macharius - 13/01/2012 06:07:10 PM 641 Views
Congratulations: You are now where a LOT of Americans have been on a LOT of US policy over the years Joel - 14/01/2012 07:43:24 AM 1211 Views
Congratulations you have again missed the point Ray - 14/01/2012 05:06:24 PM 1097 Views
Not at all, you have just evidently decided it is relevant now that the President is a Democrat. Joel - 14/01/2012 11:04:17 PM 1284 Views
Joel, you're full of shit in this particular case Larry - 16/01/2012 12:05:54 AM 1375 Views
Let's edit slightly: Joel, you're full of shit in this particular case Tom - 16/01/2012 12:57:22 AM 1124 Views
I do need some editing, on occasion Larry - 16/01/2012 02:42:50 AM 1066 Views
He is applying a double standard, a practice I dislike intensely. Joel - 16/01/2012 01:15:05 AM 1194 Views
no Joel you just can't see passed your politics Ray - 16/01/2012 02:15:51 AM 1154 Views
I recall your disappointment in the soldiers then, but also your rejection of the view you took here Joel - 16/01/2012 02:27:36 AM 1067 Views
Nope, you aren't. Amyrlin - 13/01/2012 07:08:06 PM 1026 Views
I don't think that urinating on a dead body reflects well on anyone. Nate - 13/01/2012 07:47:20 PM 1032 Views
Its indicitive of a breakdown in discipline and the erosion of the values of the corps. Urza - 13/01/2012 09:57:15 PM 1248 Views
I thought this WAS the issue at hand. I haven't paid much attention to this story. *NM* Cannoli - 14/01/2012 12:00:53 AM 587 Views
I have a strong feeling that this was not the worst that's been done to those bodies Larry - 13/01/2012 10:43:34 PM 1186 Views
any army simply reflects the society it is created from random thoughts - 13/01/2012 11:06:57 PM 1229 Views
Agreed Larry - 14/01/2012 12:37:45 AM 1103 Views
You're far from the only one, but I don't agree with it. LadyLorraine - 14/01/2012 12:17:31 AM 1193 Views
Apparently the Taliban aren't too put out by it. They're still willing to negotiate and talk. TaskmasterJack - 14/01/2012 01:32:59 AM 1028 Views
Professional soldiers need to consider the impact of their actions on the cause Isaac - 14/01/2012 08:25:30 AM 1022 Views
Awful. Worst post ever. *NM* Gaps - 14/01/2012 05:12:41 PM 810 Views
Agreed. *NM* Aisha - 14/01/2012 06:28:25 PM 557 Views
That's absurdly stupid of both of you. Expression of legitimate opinion hardly qualifies as "worst" Tom - 14/01/2012 08:46:30 PM 1108 Views
it is our OPINION that this is the worst post ever. Aisha - 14/01/2012 11:32:49 PM 1083 Views
Wow. Remind me to point this out the next time Dragonsoul attacks you. Tom - 15/01/2012 02:52:47 AM 1102 Views
im a little surprised that you are this offended by us calling your post the worst ever. *NM* Aisha - 15/01/2012 03:52:51 AM 609 Views
Given the shit I've seen and the miserable way you've expressed yourself, I'm surprised. Tom - 15/01/2012 04:42:41 PM 1015 Views
I agree worst post ever is one hell of a high bar Ray - 15/01/2012 03:52:42 AM 1103 Views
I vaguely remember that post Aisha - 15/01/2012 04:06:32 AM 1056 Views
Seriously, I once posted nude pics of a chat admins wife and THIS is the worst post ever? *NM* Urza - 15/01/2012 05:28:32 AM 571 Views
wow...thats kinda fucked up Adam..... *NM* Aisha - 15/01/2012 05:58:37 AM 525 Views
Thank you. *bows* *NM* Urza - 15/01/2012 06:46:03 AM 572 Views
Personally, I expected a little more nuance from you. Gaps - 15/01/2012 03:52:24 PM 1525 Views
Well, and I would have expected a lot more nuance from you. Your response was worthless. Tom - 15/01/2012 04:40:57 PM 1304 Views
moral? jh - 14/01/2012 09:53:01 PM 1167 Views
I agree it was stupid to record it, and a breach of policy. Tom - 14/01/2012 11:05:49 PM 1058 Views
im just baffled Aisha - 14/01/2012 11:36:32 PM 1124 Views
Well, in the future you can expect it. Tom - 15/01/2012 02:54:59 AM 1046 Views
nobody said you had to cry about it....just acknowledge its a fucked up thing to do Aisha - 15/01/2012 03:38:29 AM 985 Views
This shows that you are a bit of a sociopath *NM* Helene - 15/01/2012 08:08:39 AM 612 Views
But we knew that already. *NM* nossy - 15/01/2012 11:18:02 AM 578 Views
You're still upset I called American girls prudes. Tom - 15/01/2012 04:43:31 PM 982 Views
I had forgotten you called American girls prudes Helene - 16/01/2012 10:22:50 AM 1109 Views
You're right, I'm not really bothered. Tom - 16/01/2012 09:18:50 PM 1407 Views
There are all kinds of rationalizations why peeing on dead bodies isn't that bad in the grand Helene - 17/01/2012 10:32:45 PM 1439 Views
What is it about this post that is bringing the mediocre intellectuals out of the woodwork? *NM* Dan - 17/01/2012 03:18:29 AM 583 Views
I don't know why you're posting, so you tell us? *NM* Helene - 17/01/2012 10:28:59 PM 622 Views
as someone said on the radio recently... Yunalesca - 16/01/2012 08:41:25 PM 1077 Views
They aren't conditioned to murder, much less "in cold blood" Tom - 16/01/2012 09:15:54 PM 1190 Views
surprisingly there really is no conditioning to kill random thoughts - 16/01/2012 09:33:51 PM 1091 Views
You used the phrase enemy combatant... Helene - 17/01/2012 10:34:41 PM 1066 Views
they are a problematic enemy Ray - 17/01/2012 11:41:11 PM 1480 Views
