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 1995 Views
Eh, it makes our guys look like uncivilized barbarian hicks. beetnemesis - 13/01/2012 03:37:24 PM 1181 Views
They're not? *NM* callandor1000 - 17/01/2012 09:52:28 AM 591 Views
Probably not the only one. nossy - 13/01/2012 03:51:18 PM 1318 Views
I agree. *NM* Stephen - 13/01/2012 08:11:57 PM 583 Views
Well said. *NM* ironclad - 13/01/2012 10:52:26 PM 547 Views
Excellent post. MonCul - 14/01/2012 04:23:32 PM 1009 Views
well said indeed. *NM* Aisha - 14/01/2012 06:30:21 PM 599 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 1028 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 1024 Views
If we have time, sure. Joel - 15/01/2012 10:18:31 PM 1176 Views
ooookay. *NM* nossy - 16/01/2012 12:12:06 AM 545 Views

Re: ? nossy - 16/01/2012 12:22:39 PM 1059 Views
I quite agree with Joel on this point (frightening as that admission may be). Tom - 16/01/2012 02:01:05 PM 1054 Views
Doesn't matter. nossy - 16/01/2012 02:33:53 PM 1095 Views
Your definition of "terrible thing" seems quite elastic. Tom - 16/01/2012 07:21:12 PM 969 Views
I knew I had a good reason to hate you! nossy - 16/01/2012 09:14:47 PM 1119 Views
It took this post for you to realize that? Tom - 16/01/2012 09:17:00 PM 1007 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 1173 Views
I am pissed at them random thoughts - 13/01/2012 06:00:56 PM 1322 Views
Yup. *NM* Macharius - 13/01/2012 06:07:10 PM 614 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 1155 Views
Congratulations you have again missed the point Ray - 14/01/2012 05:06:24 PM 1055 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 1232 Views
Joel, you're full of shit in this particular case Larry - 16/01/2012 12:05:54 AM 1320 Views
Let's edit slightly: Joel, you're full of shit in this particular case Tom - 16/01/2012 12:57:22 AM 1064 Views
I do need some editing, on occasion Larry - 16/01/2012 02:42:50 AM 1017 Views
He is applying a double standard, a practice I dislike intensely. Joel - 16/01/2012 01:15:05 AM 1114 Views
no Joel you just can't see passed your politics Ray - 16/01/2012 02:15:51 AM 1107 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 1013 Views
Nope, you aren't. Amyrlin - 13/01/2012 07:08:06 PM 976 Views
I don't think that urinating on a dead body reflects well on anyone. Nate - 13/01/2012 07:47:20 PM 980 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 1200 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 563 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 1116 Views
any army simply reflects the society it is created from random thoughts - 13/01/2012 11:06:57 PM 1180 Views
Agreed Larry - 14/01/2012 12:37:45 AM 1035 Views
You're far from the only one, but I don't agree with it. LadyLorraine - 14/01/2012 12:17:31 AM 1138 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 982 Views
Professional soldiers need to consider the impact of their actions on the cause Isaac - 14/01/2012 08:25:30 AM 970 Views
Awful. Worst post ever. *NM* Gaps - 14/01/2012 05:12:41 PM 784 Views
Agreed. *NM* Aisha - 14/01/2012 06:28:25 PM 536 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 1053 Views
it is our OPINION that this is the worst post ever. Aisha - 14/01/2012 11:32:49 PM 1035 Views
Wow. Remind me to point this out the next time Dragonsoul attacks you. Tom - 15/01/2012 02:52:47 AM 1036 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 584 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 966 Views
I agree worst post ever is one hell of a high bar Ray - 15/01/2012 03:52:42 AM 1051 Views
I vaguely remember that post Aisha - 15/01/2012 04:06:32 AM 1004 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 546 Views
wow...thats kinda fucked up Adam..... *NM* Aisha - 15/01/2012 05:58:37 AM 500 Views
Thank you. *bows* *NM* Urza - 15/01/2012 06:46:03 AM 541 Views
Personally, I expected a little more nuance from you. Gaps - 15/01/2012 03:52:24 PM 1467 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 1240 Views
moral? jh - 14/01/2012 09:53:01 PM 1123 Views
I agree it was stupid to record it, and a breach of policy. Tom - 14/01/2012 11:05:49 PM 1015 Views
im just baffled Aisha - 14/01/2012 11:36:32 PM 1072 Views
Well, in the future you can expect it. Tom - 15/01/2012 02:54:59 AM 986 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 944 Views
This shows that you are a bit of a sociopath *NM* Helene - 15/01/2012 08:08:39 AM 567 Views
But we knew that already. *NM* nossy - 15/01/2012 11:18:02 AM 555 Views
You're still upset I called American girls prudes. Tom - 15/01/2012 04:43:31 PM 941 Views
I had forgotten you called American girls prudes Helene - 16/01/2012 10:22:50 AM 1046 Views
You're right, I'm not really bothered. Tom - 16/01/2012 09:18:50 PM 1359 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 1369 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 557 Views
I don't know why you're posting, so you tell us? *NM* Helene - 17/01/2012 10:28:59 PM 587 Views
as someone said on the radio recently... Yunalesca - 16/01/2012 08:41:25 PM 1026 Views
They aren't conditioned to murder, much less "in cold blood" Tom - 16/01/2012 09:15:54 PM 1137 Views
surprisingly there really is no conditioning to kill random thoughts - 16/01/2012 09:33:51 PM 1036 Views
You used the phrase enemy combatant... Helene - 17/01/2012 10:34:41 PM 1018 Views
they are a problematic enemy Ray - 17/01/2012 11:41:11 PM 1423 Views
