Saw this minutes ago, looking for the video to post. Apparently sniper team members pissed on dead bodies of terrorists. This is not the conduct we approve but it is no Abu Gharib. Stand by for updates...

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

In the graphic video, 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 says, "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 stating, "Golden like a shower."

I've no love for the terrorists, but the behavior really is unbecoming of a soldier.

It is a big deal and let me tell you why. You have a code of conduct, even in the heat of battle. Even with inhuman people like these terrorist or else it leads to a slippery slope. A slippery slope where you saw Indian soldiers bodies returned back with torture signs all over it. you have to have your soldiers maintain higher standards... At all times. Now these guys are a handful but the marine core will investigate and dole the appropriate punishment that fits the misconduct. It is misconduct and not a 'crime'

Geneva conventions are meant for soldiers of professional armies..not for stateless terrorists.

JayATL,

You are on a thin ice with your continued ad-hominems against all kinds of members. Watch out and mend your ways, otherwise you are in for a surprise. Take this as a friendly warning

Yeah yeah - deplorable, sad, atrocious and all that.

The fact remains though, that this is hardly what one would call "brutal". Humans have always been brutes, throughout the history of warfare. Look at the excesses and barbarity in the second world war, especially on the Eastern front. Chilling stuff.

These US marines have acted like sweet old ladies in comparison. War is not fun and games, and this is hardly the worst of stuff we have seen, and will see.

Not the correct thing to do, notwithstanding the anger that must have encouraged the act.

Geneva conventions applies to terrorists ?
This is a tricky question.

It applies to soldiers (people who are in uniform) and civilians in the war zone

Interestingly, it also considers armed conflict against colonial domination and foreign occupation as having qualified as an international conflict.

Geneva Convention also protects against human indignities.

Geneva is to be observed by the US too.
Duh..they are meant for POW from professional armies.If US takes some Pak soldiers POW, Geneva conventions are applicable..not for stateless terrorists.

Then why is your nation behaving like this?
Is your post in line with Shylock?

To bait fish withal;
If it would feed nothing else, it would feed
my revenge
He hath disgraced me; and hindered me
half a million
Laughed at my losses, mocked at my gains
Scorned my nation, thwarted my bargains
Cooled my friends, heated mine enemies
And what's his reason!? I am a Jew
Hath not a Jew Eyes? Hath not a Jew hands,
Organs, Dimensions
Senses, Affections, Passions
Fed with the same food, hurt with the same
weapons
Subject to the same diseases, healed by the
same means
Warmed and cooled by the same winter and
summer as a Christian is.
If you prick us, do we not bleed?
If you tickle us, do we not laugh?
If you poison us, do we not die?
And if you wrong us, shall we not revenge?
If we are like you in the rest, we will resemble
you in that.
If a Jew wrong a Christian, what is his humility?
Revenge?
If a Christian wrong a Jew, what should his
sufferance be, by Christian example?
Why, revenge?
The villainy you teach me, I will execute
And it shall go hard, but I will better the
instruction.
