How does the video of Marines urinating on dead bodies reflect on the Marine Corps and Camp Lejeune?

PTSD

When they turn into men and wake up from a nightmare, thinking of what they have done---to a people, a man, a father who had never set foot out of his own country and who was fighting for his way of life and country---from foreign invaders.
What kind of medicine are they going to have to take to cure those blues. They will beat their children and wives because they are angry at themselves for what they have done for the money and the money interests back in the USA.

I'm not stating an opinnion either way. What does it say about the person that recorded his buddies and then posted it where anyone can watch?

You know, I'm fairly certain that the people who are "outraged" at the picture of US Marines pissing on a dead Taliban member are likely the same people who were completely silent when US contractors were kidnapped, hung from a bridge & burned.... silent when US military members & US journalists have been kidnapped & killed on camera.... silent when a US soldier's dead body was strapped to a tank & paraded through the streets.... and the same people who use the excuse "But it's their culture!" in order to justify murdering women in the name of "honor", stoning people to death for perceived religious transgressions, torturing babies to death, burning people alive because they are "infidels", slaughtering people by the thousands for the same reason, burning entire villages of people alive, & hacking infants into tiny bits because their parents are Christians.... along with mutilating their baby girls with acid simply because they were born female, or mutilating their bodies through female circumcision.

All I can say is that I wish those Marines could've slaughtered a hog & doused that monster's body in pig's blood, wrapped him in hog entrails & lit his ass on fire. Does that make me a monster in the eyes of some non-thinking "tolerant" liberals? I don't really care. They can kiss my ass because they are HYPOCRITES.

big ole thumbs up!!!

Defense of Marines

Do not be naive enough to think in the history of all U.S theatres of war, that this is the first time poor judgement has been used by American soldiers.While it is not a professional act, when engaged in combat you have to give them some leniency.Combat is a stressful environment that clouds judgement from time to time but overall these young men get the job done that they were asked to do.That is kill the enemy. Once you flip the switch to this mentality, it is game on until it is time to assimilate back into the "civilized" world.You are either the hunted or the hunter in combat, therefore it is a sense of relief to survive another day.These young men were venting their relief, although it was an immature act.The PC media, government officials and military brass will make it a big dog and pony show because from the comfort of their homes it is easy to play armchair quarterback.Put a weapon in their hands and on occasion in a high stress environment, they would act irrational and irresponsible.The high tech gadgets that are now mainstream make it much easier to disseminate images that have NO BUSINESS leaving the theatre of operation.Americans do no have to be privy to all the intricate details of combat.Let it go!

Comment on USMC urinating on corpses

These Marines have a tough job and make tough decisions in their duty. The decision to film this was stupid at best.
Poor judgement but nothing serious in the overall scheme of this war.
Slap 'em on the wrist good with a proper head detail, write them up, and get back to business as usual.
Keep the media opinions where they belong and selling advertising is where they excell.
