So pissing on dead people is part of the battle ?.

If I had the bodies of Bertie Ahearne and co in front of me right now I'd be tempted to piss on them too. Just look at the comments on here towards lenihan even in the immediate aftermath of his death.

Hatred does strange things to people and the type of hatred you'd have for someone who is trying to kill you and who has succeeded in killing some of you buddies must be incredible. Yet you expect rationality and respect for their dead?

Moral outrage brigade arriving to spew out hatred of the US following video on internet which may or may not be true and which involving a tiny minority of US Marines. Ho hum. The point is that unlike in other cases the marines will investigate this and punish those concerned. Won't stop the bird brains from screeching about the Imperialist Yankee.

I hope you don't ever find yourself in a dispute over a parking space with one of those guys when you're holidaying in the USA!

Disgusting and very disturbing. Well done George W - ya fu(king pri(k!!!

Why is anyone surprised? Treating fallen enemy with respect only happens in films.

Did you say that when the bodies of charred Americans were paraded through the streets of Baghdad? It's sub-human and the worst aspect to it is the cowardly politicians who send these people to such a fate.

Then you have no problem with the Nazis ?.

[The Field Marshal]

The US soldier is representing his country especially when he is at war.

Basic respect for the vanquished foe is a hallmark of a civilized society.

Amercian society claims the moral high ground over the Taliban.

Behaviour of this kind makes such claims hollow.


In order to recover the moral high ground all the soldiers in this video should be punished and made to apologize publicly to the relatives of the dead people they have mistreated .

I have a problem with war, full stop. What happens during a war is an inevitable consequence of those actions.

These guys can be punished and that will make okay PR but it won't change a damned thing about what goes on over there when the camera's aren't looking.
