Embarassing

[Prospero]

I wonder what the response is to this picture of Americans in action in Afghanistan. Are our American board members embarassed by this image?

[trish]

The first one, 'cause I thought Marines would have bigger dicks (and higher standards of honor).

What other people do, doesn't embarrass me. But I think if other people do embarrass then embarrassment could be found anywhere.

So which of these to pictures is the most embarassing for you Americans.
And was it wikileaks who posed the first one initially!

The second picture is a branch of Walmart.

i wouldn't piss on them if they were on fire

But you'd further assist their drowning with urine.

That's a beautiful flag too.

I've been waiting for this...Thank You . It's Not embarrassing to me as an American in the least....especially coming from a non- American. I suppose you have the right to comment, but you don't have the right to judge unless you've walked in their boots. These hypocritical politicians wringing their hands at press conferences deserve no less than what these dead Taliban got. They send these 20 year olds into battle in hostile environments tour after tour with rules of engagement that no one in combat should ever have to deal with, then expect them to act more like the Peace Corp than trained killers. I could relay atrocities from Nam that would make this look like a frat party. It happens. It ain't pretty, but neither is war. Is it conduct unbecoming? Yes....but if you don't think Limey soldiers did this to Nazi's in WW11, you're naive. The only thing different here is the I-phone. And as far as Karzai goes....he should be the next one to get pissed on. I can't wait for the Taliban to put his head on a stick 5 minutes after the last marine is gone. Here is what Col. West said, and I agree...


Rep. Allen West (R-Fla.), a former Army lieutenant colonel, sends THE WEEKLY STANDARD an email commenting on the Marines' video, and has given us permission to publish it.



“I have sat back and assessed the incident with the video of our Marines urinating on Taliban corpses. I do not recall any self-righteous indignation when our Delta snipers Shugart and Gordon had their bodies dragged through Mogadishu. Neither do I recall media outrage and condemnation of our Blackwater security contractors being killed, their bodies burned, and hung from a bridge in Fallujah.
“All these over-emotional pundits and armchair quarterbacks need to chill. Does anyone remember the two Soldiers from the 101st Airborne Division who were beheaded and gutted in Iraq?
“The Marines were wrong. Give them a maximum punishment under field grade level Article 15 (non-judicial punishment), place a General Officer level letter of reprimand in their personnel file, and have them in full dress uniform stand before their Battalion, each personally apologize to God, Country, and Corps videotaped and conclude by singing the full US Marine Corps Hymn without a teleprompter.
“As for everyone else, unless you have been shot at by the Taliban, shut your mouth, war is hell.”

Some character named Bashir is pissing on a whole country of poor muslims while they can still taste it. That's worthy of outrage perhaps. Leer over there for awhile. We'll be just fine thank you very much. We've solved our own problems for quite some time now. I'll let you know if we need a butler.

I could swear American's are suppose to be more civilized than the Taliban. But I guess i'm wrong.

Everyone has the power to judge. It's called the capacity to think. Everyone has the right to express their judgment. It's called free speech. In this case, the Marine Corp will have the right to enforce their judgment.

But I know where you're coming from. If some assholes are shooting at me and I manage to kill them before they kill me, I reserve the right to piss on their dead bodies. It's not an honorable act, but understandable.

They do have surprisingly small dicks though, and I would've hoped they had displayed more honor than the Taliban displayed toward our soldiers. But that's love and war. If it were up to me I'd let them off with a reprimand. But the U.S. can't afford leniency here. I'm guessing these guys will at least be dishonorably discharged.

That's closer to being in agreement than we may ever be !


I would slightly disagree with you on the judgement thing.....while I may have the capacity or power to judge a terminal cancer patient that chooses illegal drugs when everything else has failed, I'd like to think I'd be very judicious and restrained with that judgement.
