Which I don't really have an opinion on to be honest. If the deceased were Taliban I'd have pissed on them myself.
However, what I did think was superb, is that the Taliban have declared the act "barbaric".
Barbaric... From the Taliban...

Its a little bit of a throw back, and were supposed to be more civilised than our enemy, although what's civilised about a war I don't know....
OTOH roles reversed the taliban would beheading our troops live on Aljazeera, the real problem here is the poor decision making here of whipping out your mobile phone and then sharing it around. That's 3 bad errors of judgment.

War is brutal and barbaric. I can understand why this happened, but I wouldn't be saying 'well done lads' for the act of urinating on dead bodies.
Each to their own I suppose.
I suspect that's "well done lads" for killing them.War is brutal and barbaric. I can understand why this happened, but I wouldn't be saying 'well done lads' for the act of urinating on dead bodies.

Of course allowing some waste water to touch them, that's completely unacceptable. Violent death = OK. Pee = not OK. OK?

It's war, if it helps the chaps who pissed on the corpses feel better and cope with their situation then leave them to it. I don't think that anyone who has not fought in combat can really judge these Marines or claim the moral high ground.
^^^^^^ You are utterly and completely wrong.They fight in the name of USA. They represent USA. They are the USA.
Taking another human life is the gravest act a man can commit, irrespective of the rights and wrongs of the conflict in Afghanistan. If you fight another armed man to the death, you need to treat his body and his bravery in facing you with respect. Otherwise you are a fking animal.
Remember in this fight the American that killed him was body armored up with air and artillery support, and a helicopter ten minutes away to medivac him to the best facilities if he was injured. The Fighter that faced him had an AK47 and a pair of fking sandles, and he was fighting on his own countries soil.
I have more respect for the Taliban fighter that did that than the ahole Marine that thought it was o.k to do this.
This isnt about my views on this war. Its my views on being a human being!

Neither would I. I meant well done lads for dispatching a few more Taliban. Is that so wrong to congratulate our allies for doing so? Or would it be better if I took the 'trendy' PH view of slagging the Americans off/supporting the Taliban?War is brutal and barbaric.

Very disappointing. Would it really have been hard to find a couple of hog's legs to stick up the dead guys' arses first? Urination by itself is so half-hearted.
But seriously, that people get all flustered about a pissing on a dead body in this situation, an act which causes harm to nobody, whilst presumably being OK with the fact that person has just had their head blasted off in the first place, have pretty bizarre thought processes that are largely incomprehensible to me.

Blowing heads off is bad enough but then we should draw a line in the sand.
