I recall your disappointment in the soldiers then, but also your rejection of the view you took here

This case is in no way similar to water boarding. I was disappointed in the soldiers who abused prisoners for their personal amusement then and I am even more disappointed now when it is Marines. The only real differenc is no one use a political football to "prove" their unsupported opinions.
"We are supposed to be better than that." When I said that then it was a partisan attack, just as reminding you of that now is apparently also a partisan attack.

Am I the only one who doesn't care if the Marines piss on the corpses of Taliban?

Actually, IIRC, we were told the Afghanistan war was important because of the Talibans threat to us.
