U.S. MARINES To Investigate Video of Soldiers Urinating on Corpses

http://www.tmz.com/2012/01/11/u-s-marines-investigating-video-urinating-taliban/#.Tw3jPmDB59A

The United States Marine Corps is launching an investigation into a video which appears to show Marines in full combat gear urinating on several dead bodies ... TMZ has learned.

In the extremely graphic video, which appeared on various websites this morning, at least 4 male Marines expose their genitals and urinate on the bodies.

The mystery person who posted the video included a caption that reads, "scout sniper team 4 with 3rd battalion 2nd marines out of camp lejeune peeing on dead talibans."

Now, Captain Kendra N. Hardesty -- a Media Officer for the USMC -- tells us, "While we have not yet verified the origin or authenticity of this video, the actions portrayed are not consistent with our core values and are not indicative of the character of the Marines in our Corps."

She adds, "This matter will be fully investigated and those responsible will be held accountable for their actions."

In the video, one of the urinating men can be heard saying, "Have a great day, buddy."

Another guy jokes about the situation ... saying, "Golden like a shower."

Translation: We only kill them, we don't pee on them. That costs extra.

We used to teach and enforce the Geneva Conventions. It seems that went the way of the "ulawful combatant" - whatever that is.

As a Marine I find this despicable. We hold ourselves to a higher standard. Believe me these Marines actions will not go unpunished. We are not talking page 11 or NJP here but court Marshall territory. Don't judge us by a few bad seeds. Every organization is going to have shitbags, and quite frankly this is the ultimate in shitbaggery.

They are just watering the seeds of democracy they are spreading throughout the world.

And unteach any excessive revenge, racial tendencies when detected in some bad apples during freedom training. Obama seems tied up with WH/Michelle-Gibbs obscenities scandal and reelection games, he is his masters are the ones who put young kids needlessly in a dangerous situation where sometime they can lose sanitry when they see body parts of their friends blown apart. Abu Ghraib cost tax payers in trillions of dollars, this is probably few hundred billions dollars in additional costs. If it is in MSM, it almost certainly means that it was already circulating in Afghanistan and fueling insurgency.

On a related note, following was in news yesterday, Amazing that the accused thinks nothing wrong that civilians, women and children were killed:

Squad mate testifies about Iraq assault that led to criminal case against Marine squad leader


By Associated Press,
CAMP PENDLETON, Calif. — A former squad mate of a Marine implicated in the deaths of 19 Iraqis testified Tuesday that after a roadside bombing, the group raced to nearby homes, firing rounds and tossing grenades for 45 minutes, even though he said the Marines did not take gunfire, come across a single insurgent or find a weapon.

Still, former Cpl. Steven Tatum told a military jury at Camp Pendleton that he felt the squad did nothing wrong that day in the town of Haditha in 2005, when Marines killed 24 Iraqis, including unarmed women and children.

Is that the Bin Laden photo we have been waiting to see?

 

[olehounddog]

We can see dead bodies and urine streams hitting the dead bodies, but penises are too vile and ugly to be seen.

 

[AGRP]

They attack us because we're free and rich!

 

[bunklocoempire]

We all have our own ways of getting through our day. A normal reaction to an abnormal situation IMO.

 

[MrTudo]

Power of "pride" huh and don't forget they hate us for our freedom and prosperity.

Which part is despicable? Occupying a country that has never attacked us thereby going against the very oath that was taken or peeing on dead men that these "guardians of our freedom" killed?

It's all despicable, but only part of it did these individual men have any control over.

It's a shame I can't give you more rep points right now! I gotta spread the love more first!

 

[Diurdi]

To be honest, if I was out there fighting them and being scared shitless month after month, I could possibly do the exact same thing. I wouldn't videotape it though.

Not saying it's alright, but I can understand... or I guess I can't because I've never actually been there.

This is just disgusting!
