Marines, Your Thoughts On Urination Video?
Posted Jan 12, 2012 by Howard Altman

A video of Marines urinating on Taliban corpses has the AOR roiled, Karzai enraged and the SECDEF ticked, as illustrated in this statement, via the Pentagon.
I have seen the footage, and I find the behavior depicted in it utterly deplorable. I condemn it in the strongest possible terms. I have ordered the Marine Corps and ISAF Commander General John Allen to immediately and fully investigate the incident.
This conduct is entirely inappropriate for members of the United States military and does not reflect the standards or values our armed forces are sworn to uphold.
Those found to have engaged in such conduct will be held accountable to the fullest extent.
Marines out there, what do you think?
Let me know.

It is time for the U.S. to “figuratively” ##### all over Karzai and his corupt nation. That place is a political sewer.

I think we should send them more bottled water so they do not get dehydrated!
