Golden Showers banned in Marines

I'm Confused: It's Okay to Kill Afghanis, But Not Okay to Urinate on the Bodies?

True, it's a disgusting thing to do, but I can't help asking: what exactly are our core values these days, Mr. Panetta? It's kind of confusing. You give the orders to invade and occupy their country, Afghanistan, and that it's perfectly fine to drop bombs from drones and massacre these people who are attempting to defend themselves in their own country, (a little wee fact that we tend to forget), you give the orders to slaughter them on sight, which have turned our U.S. soldiers into ruthless killers, and then you scold them for urinating on their dead bodies-because, it's just not "consistent with our core values".

or

It shows the stress that we have put our military institutions through, lo these last ten years.

Do you blame them for showing the contempt that those dead 'militants' embodied. That came down from the top and was reinforced by people shooting at them. In the aftermath of a fire fight, civilized behavior is scarce.

Marines are resourceful. They will find workarounds.

They should have light them on fire first, then pissed on them to put it out.

But really now how stupid do they have to be to put it on tape, for christ fucking sake, in this day and age.

What I don't get is why the whole world suddenly forgets how U.S. troops get treated.

Despite his constant braggadocio about his Marine exploits, Vetteman couldn't hack 20 years in the Corps. He bailed after 11 years, or so he says.

No pension for Vetty!

Bill Maher finally said something funny:

"If they were real Taliban, they wouldn't mind being pissed on."
