2. Police actions will do that ,I wonder

if they had time on Omaha Beach to pee on the enemy ?

[Devil_Fish]

3. So, The fact that they were killed = who cares, but pissing on the dead bodies = War Crime!

am I the only one who thinks that's a little backwards?????

[orpupilofnature57]

4. As far as your protest of the war ,if thats what

" So, the fact they were killed = who cares " means , Forward thinking is respect for your dead enemy.

[Devil_Fish]

5. It is not varified that there bodies were that of "the enemy"

It occures to me that we went to AG to get OBL. We got him. Who is it that we are killing now??? I do think Pissing on them is wrong, But killing them in the first place should also be considered a war crime.

6. I'm with you 100 %

Assuming if they were enemies they'd deserve respect , if they were innocent citizens ,they were murdered.

[EX500rider]

7. So all enemies deserve respect?

The SS after killing off a Russian village and all in it?
Dachau Camp Guards?
Eizengruppen?

Or Taliban who just burned down a girls school with the girls still in it?

Some enemies have forsaken their humanity.
Once they are dead I don't care what happens to them much myself.

For comparison GI's in WWII were known to make ash trays out of Japanese skulls btw.. (not saying I approve but it did happen)

9. Actually the ss were hitlers sycophants ,not like

most German soldiers who were at War.Respect for the enemy is respect for ourselves , soldiers do terrible things during wartime ,honorable ones rise above ,pee on corpses ,raping civilians , or slaughtering villages( I'm saying it's Wrong !!! ,not " I dont approve of it" )

10. What a fig-leaf approach we have to war crimes.

The system gets all outraged over merely symbolic gestures but ignores wholesale slaughter, torture, and just plain imperialist aggression.

11. In fairness, the entire planet is complicit.

You can't rationalize using conflict as a method of conflict resolution without some definition of "even worse kinds of conflict" to stand in contrast.

[Deep13]

12. I have to agree with that.

But when it comes to abusing power, the most powerful are the worst offenders.

13. For all you never served civillians

You just don't do this! So many smartassed comments which I hope you remember when the payback comes.

Maybe y'all forgot! Thet don't need a fucking Army! They are willing to die for their cause (9-11)!

Some of you have been spending too much time on the video games.

How do we ever have peace if we desecrate the dead?

So tell us again why some of you are so proud of this country!

I would throw these asshats in the brig for ten years, bust them to private and DD them.

Marines may be a lot of things, but this isn't one of them!

SHAME!

14. We have met the enemy, and the enemy is

survived by all sorts of angry brothers, parents, cousins, and in-laws who now would just love to kill a whole bunch of us, or one by one, no matter where they may find us around the world. And, those blood vendettas go on for centuries.

We only have ourselves to blame for our arrogance, inability to learn from all those other failed empires, and our stupidity to think we're somehow different.
