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 1759 Views
Eh, it makes our guys look like uncivilized barbarian hicks. beetnemesis - 13/01/2012 03:37:24 PM 946 Views
They're not? *NM* callandor1000 - 17/01/2012 09:52:28 AM 489 Views
Probably not the only one. nossy - 13/01/2012 03:51:18 PM 1102 Views
I agree. *NM* Stephen - 13/01/2012 08:11:57 PM 457 Views
Well said. *NM* ironclad - 13/01/2012 10:52:26 PM 423 Views
Excellent post. MonCul - 14/01/2012 04:23:32 PM 790 Views
well said indeed. *NM* Aisha - 14/01/2012 06:30:21 PM 490 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 803 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 771 Views
If we have time, sure. Joel - 15/01/2012 10:18:31 PM 912 Views

Re: ? nossy - 16/01/2012 12:22:39 PM 823 Views
I quite agree with Joel on this point (frightening as that admission may be). Tom - 16/01/2012 02:01:05 PM 818 Views
Doesn't matter. nossy - 16/01/2012 02:33:53 PM 819 Views
Your definition of "terrible thing" seems quite elastic. Tom - 16/01/2012 07:21:12 PM 739 Views
I knew I had a good reason to hate you! nossy - 16/01/2012 09:14:47 PM 814 Views
It took this post for you to realize that? Tom - 16/01/2012 09:17:00 PM 788 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 909 Views
I am pissed at them random thoughts - 13/01/2012 06:00:56 PM 1105 Views
Yup. *NM* Macharius - 13/01/2012 06:07:10 PM 462 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 904 Views
Congratulations you have again missed the point Ray - 14/01/2012 05:06:24 PM 825 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 1028 Views
Joel, you're full of shit in this particular case Larry - 16/01/2012 12:05:54 AM 1062 Views
Let's edit slightly: Joel, you're full of shit in this particular case Tom - 16/01/2012 12:57:22 AM 852 Views
I do need some editing, on occasion Larry - 16/01/2012 02:42:50 AM 778 Views
He is applying a double standard, a practice I dislike intensely. Joel - 16/01/2012 01:15:05 AM 828 Views
no Joel you just can't see passed your politics Ray - 16/01/2012 02:15:51 AM 886 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 772 Views
Nope, you aren't. Amyrlin - 13/01/2012 07:08:06 PM 756 Views
I don't think that urinating on a dead body reflects well on anyone. Nate - 13/01/2012 07:47:20 PM 750 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 966 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 448 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 883 Views
any army simply reflects the society it is created from random thoughts - 13/01/2012 11:06:57 PM 950 Views
Agreed Larry - 14/01/2012 12:37:45 AM 819 Views
You're far from the only one, but I don't agree with it. LadyLorraine - 14/01/2012 12:17:31 AM 904 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 755 Views
Professional soldiers need to consider the impact of their actions on the cause Isaac - 14/01/2012 08:25:30 AM 730 Views
Awful. Worst post ever. *NM* Gaps - 14/01/2012 05:12:41 PM 595 Views
Agreed. *NM* Aisha - 14/01/2012 06:28:25 PM 439 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 802 Views
it is our OPINION that this is the worst post ever. Aisha - 14/01/2012 11:32:49 PM 801 Views
Wow. Remind me to point this out the next time Dragonsoul attacks you. Tom - 15/01/2012 02:52:47 AM 819 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 478 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 745 Views
I agree worst post ever is one hell of a high bar Ray - 15/01/2012 03:52:42 AM 822 Views
I vaguely remember that post Aisha - 15/01/2012 04:06:32 AM 748 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 426 Views
wow...thats kinda fucked up Adam..... *NM* Aisha - 15/01/2012 05:58:37 AM 370 Views
Thank you. *bows* *NM* Urza - 15/01/2012 06:46:03 AM 408 Views
Personally, I expected a little more nuance from you. Gaps - 15/01/2012 03:52:24 PM 1108 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 975 Views
moral? jh - 14/01/2012 09:53:01 PM 882 Views
I agree it was stupid to record it, and a breach of policy. Tom - 14/01/2012 11:05:49 PM 786 Views
im just baffled Aisha - 14/01/2012 11:36:32 PM 826 Views
Well, in the future you can expect it. Tom - 15/01/2012 02:54:59 AM 776 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 747 Views
This shows that you are a bit of a sociopath *NM* Helene - 15/01/2012 08:08:39 AM 398 Views
But we knew that already. *NM* nossy - 15/01/2012 11:18:02 AM 425 Views
You're still upset I called American girls prudes. Tom - 15/01/2012 04:43:31 PM 713 Views
I had forgotten you called American girls prudes Helene - 16/01/2012 10:22:50 AM 800 Views
You're right, I'm not really bothered. Tom - 16/01/2012 09:18:50 PM 1151 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 1129 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 421 Views
I don't know why you're posting, so you tell us? *NM* Helene - 17/01/2012 10:28:59 PM 465 Views
as someone said on the radio recently... Yunalesca - 16/01/2012 08:41:25 PM 801 Views
They aren't conditioned to murder, much less "in cold blood" Tom - 16/01/2012 09:15:54 PM 895 Views
surprisingly there really is no conditioning to kill random thoughts - 16/01/2012 09:33:51 PM 806 Views
You used the phrase enemy combatant... Helene - 17/01/2012 10:34:41 PM 791 Views
they are a problematic enemy Ray - 17/01/2012 11:41:11 PM 1093 Views
