One of the U.S. Marines who was caught on video urinating on the corpses of suspected Taliban fighters has broken his silence to say that he's not sorry for what he did and he'd do it again.

What's to discuss? He did it...he said it.If you're not interested in the thread, you should probably just avoid it. There's nothing gained in complaining about it.
[QUOTE="killzowned24"]pissing on someone who was trying to kill you and your friends is not that big of a deal.GreySeal9
Not a huge deal, but it's pretty stupid.
It's even more stupid when you do it while someone is recording you, but i understand why he did it.
gahh, what enjoyment does that even bring to him? you have to be sick in the head to what he/they did...and these are some of the people who are in the military

It's only stupid if you get caught.I don't really care either way considering there's way worse things the Marines have done.

On some level, I also understand why he did it, but I think people should hold themselves to higher standards.

I don't really care either, but I generally don't hold people who piss on dead body's in very high esteem.

Its LJ. He's apathetic about everything except The Cure or Christianity.After being shot at a few times, I wouldn't blame him for tring to piss his anger away.gahh, what enjoyment does that even bring to him? you have to be sick in the head to what he/they did...and these are some of the people who are in the military

i don't blame him.
you either dehumanize the people you kill or you regret and it preys on your mind  all your days.
maybe there is a better way to do it but i'm not going to second guess the guy, he is doing what he needed to do.
if you can come to terms with your killings in a different way then good for you.

The problem with dehumanizing others so you can mentally be able to kill them without remorse is that it's not just a simple switch to not dehumanize others afterwards. Cause if you view people you don't know as nothing more then just meat and bones and you keep that view for up to 1-3 year on a daily basis, by the time you return home you'll still view strangers in the store or on the street as simply meat and bones. Personally I think there is room for conduct between combatants and the dead and there still is thankfully, if it weren't then simply urinating on the dead would be a small thing compared to say...hanging the dead enemies from a sign with their stomachs split open and insides pulled out just to incite fear into the enemy. Which could be done by both sides. War is a messy, gritty and horrible thing that destroys most men and women in various ways, to prevent complete downfall one should try to keep atleast a inch of humanity and ethics in the middle of it. If you don't then you're essentially nothing more then a beast.i don't blame him.

So what the Germans did to those peoples in the lands east of the Ribbontrop-Molotov line after the Germans invaded with Operation Barbarossa and the retaliation the Soviets did to the Germans in retaliation is tame compared to what that Marine did?Â
The Taliban oppresses people, tortures people, murders people, etc. etc. Just a week ago, the Taliban attacked a NATO compound killing 7 people. A month ago the Taliban murdered 5 Ukrainians, 3 Chinese and a Russian while climbing the Himayalas.
And you bleeding hearts care about one of them getting pissed on? If anything, he's lucky.

Nice reading comprehension.

TBH, I don't think I care what someone who thinks Hilter had the right idea has to say about this.
AHUGETWAT seems to be stuck in 2007. The "bleeding hearts" support everything the army does now that Obama is in office. MrPraline
Democrats supported all the wars in the first place (they get their funding from AIPAC, after all).
Remember, John Kerry had an anti-war campaign in 2004, despite the fact he voted for the Iraq war. Americans need to wake up.

It's a scummy thing to do.It's pretty low class. I'm certainly not denying that.
