      I'm going to be really offensive here, if I'm successful, and all in order to say "not really".

      I happen to be in the Army, in the infantry in fact, and I've just come home from Afghanistan, so I have a little first hand perspective on this. Now notice, I said infantry, a soldier who does the actual fighting. We have many that stay on the FOB's and work on trucks and choppers and paperwork, God bless 'em, but not us. I spent my entire deployment over there being shot at, blown up, and watching my buddies die in the middle of the desert.
      Now, there seems to be an idea going around that there's a few bad guys over there and we're over there looking for them and oppressing all these innocent people at the same time, but that's simply not true. In my entire deployment I never met one villager who didn't want to kill us, one person who didn't want to see us blown to bits by an IED. (That's a pretty sight, it is, to see one of your boys get his legs blown off by a bomb.) They didn't hate us because we were there. They hated us because we were Americans.
      Afghanistan is less of a war and more of a relief effort. We're trying to build schools, give them money to improve their farms, and give medical aid to them and their families. As you leave their house they'll shoot at you with your money still in their hand.

      I don't agree with all the reasons for the war, I doubt anybody does, but everybody who has gone did so because they thought they were doing something right--they were helping something they thought was worth holding on to.
      The news has their story, but I promise you there's more to it than is shown. Maybe those marines killed those taliban just before the medevac came in and picked up their buddies whose guts they'd been holding in for the last half hour.
      I have a couple guys who don't have legs anymore and will never walk again. We could tell them that a couple of marines pissed on some taliban KIA's and see if they get offended. I doubt it though.
      I'm not saying it was right, because it wasn't, and it is the job of someone in their chain of command to care, but it isn't ours. There may be a few corpses I wish I'da pissed on. But out of the war, this is the best the media can do? Our guys die every day and it doesn't make the news, but a couple of taliban die and get pissed on and the media goes nuts?

      Thanks for giving me a little room to vent. I guess it would have to be a yes and no.

        So - as a serving soldier and so affected more directly by these things than most, you say in the first sentence that (we) "are not oppressing all these innocent people"  then you go on to say that they all hate you.

        You then go on to claim that this the hostilities in Afghanistan are "more of a relief effort" and yet the people shoot at you as you leave.

        As an ex-serviceman myself, I have to say you seem to be presenting such an establishment view that it could almost have come from an issue kit.  The picture you paint of poor oppressed soldiers trying to do their best to help these ungrateful people is pure news release stuff.  I am afraid it does not wash with me.  I have every support and admiration for soldiers doing a soldiers job - but I am unable to find the same support for foreign soldiers even being in Afghanistan in the first place at this time, any more than I could find support for Russian troops being there in their turn. 

        Pissing on the bodies of a fallen enemy is not a minor issue, it is a total lack of all the qualities of a soldier.  Fighting unjust wars is the basic cause of the degradation because they  fight with a bad conscience.

      I don't think they should have done it, because it lowers us to the level of what others do (well, maybe not that low). However, I do understand their anger when so many innocent people lost their lives during 9/11. Remember that these men were probably in Jr. High at that time. I'm sure it impacted them greatly as it did my children and myself. Their emotions were likely running high.

      Those men are also under a ton of stress over there. They are in battle, away from family and seeing the horrors of war. Can anyone really say they would 100 percent of the time make the best decisions in those circumstances? I can't say I would.

      So, yes, poor judgment on their part. However, I don't think they should be punished for it other than a minor hand slap and I commend our fighting men and women for the work they do to keep us safe and free.

                  There were and are more than Catholics in the Cristian religion Randy.

                  And the best you can do is to go back a few hundred years?

                  Okay.

                  And the African slave trade involved the whole world, including Islam, and was around way before Cristianity.

                  So that is a dead response.

                  And as to the Indians... that was a clash of cultures. And there were many faults on all sides in that conflict.

                  And shall we list the atrocities of Atheism?

                  Communism for one is responsible for the deaths and enslavement of whole nations and peoples.

                    We don't allow Christians to commit atrocities here anymore, WhoBe!  Not legally, at least.  Some take their flock to Guyana or some other place before they convince them to murder their children and then themselves.

                    Others are hid out in Utah or some other state while they marry young girls to add to their harems, or refuse medicine to their children because they think it's sin to use it.

                    Others wish their children to be uneducated because they don't like what science has to say.  Still others voted to put a moronic woman in a position of possibly being in control of nuclear weapons.  All atrocities committed lately by self proclaimed christians.  Do you fit any of these descriptions?

              ...as a former Marine, I am embarrassed.  These young people are not taught the honor of being an American like they were just a simple 25 years ago.

              They dishonored our country when they stooped to the level of those they hate so much that they would relieve themselves on them.

              To be *like* the enemy is to become the enemy? 

              I don't want Islam here.  I don't like Sha'ria law, and I certainly don't agree with the 9/11 terrorist acts.  I would have jumped right up and grabbed a weapon to fight had they let me come back.

              But, to do such a thing as these Marines is nothing less than irresponsible stupidity.  The Marines are Americans, and should know they are BETTER than that behavior.

              What happened to this country?  What happened to honor?  Who the freak recorded this and put it on YouTube?  Where was THEIR mind?

    Will they slip back into normal life, make great husbands and fathers, hold down decent jobs? Some will, of course, but many will end up homeless or worse.

        Pardon me for being so blunt in reply to you.
        From what I've heard from others like yourself, I am of the opinion that the US authorities such as the VA, and many others (including self righteous individuals), are quite happy to "piss on retuned veterans". I mean figuratively, of course. If they provided the vital support that is truly needed, there would not be a suicide rate that was any different to society at large.

        It seems the gov't is quite happy to fork out trillions of $$'s to support the war, but skimps on any support for the vets.

        I think, SHAMEFUL is the correct word to use.


        I doubt that the politicians counted the cost adequately before they committed troops.

          Indeed, what you say is correct, but I'm confused about the "Shameful" topic. The suicide of 18 vets a day? Yes it is very shameful, but I would still use "important" as the best label for that topic. All you say is correct, and it may be even worse than you know. Our men and women are not prepared for what they face over there, then are not prepared for what they face at home. There is very limited support and few programs to help the desperate. Shameful and important would be best. I wish I had an answer. We definitely need to get out of Afghanistan.

    Cassie, I hope your question has been answered, particularly by Kael Myril. Of course people care but war affects real decent men in horrible ways that they themselves cannot later explain. I am not trying to excuse the (alleged) behaviour of specific individuals but things like that described do happen in such situations and always have happened. It is only modern media that draws it to our attention.

    The horrors of war will not stop with the attention this (alleged) incident has attracted, nor will the non-prescribed abusive treatments laid out by individuals. Yes, of course military personnel should be and forever remain responsible for their actions in foreign countries in times of war but at no time should a witch hunt be initiated against serving personnel who are already living through Hell on the basis of ill-advised actions on the part of a tiny, tiny minority...

    I was even more saddened by the negative media reporting and jokes on the "war relief" with emphasis on the word relief.

    America is the Land of the Possible, and the Do-able - it deserves a far better image than this.

    For you Fox News skeptics of the NY Times, here's an article from today's paper which offers more sympathetic perspective on the urination incident than that of military and Obama administration commenters.

    "Talk to almost anyone who has fought in combat, and chances are they can tick off a string of reasons why the YouTube video showing four Marines urinating on the bodies of dead enemy fighters in southern Afghanistan is horrible. Horrible for America’s image around the world. Horrible for its strategy of winning support from the Afghan people. Horrible for a professional military that believes its troops behave with the utmost decorum, even in the heat of battle..."

      Thanks Ralph, but I don't need the NYT opinion on anything. What these marines did is not an atrocity,war crime or anything else the left can dream up. It was simply how the Marines felt about the men who had been trying to kill them.

        . . . . vile, putrid, Communist filth . . .  if that is your response to a reasoned, balanced  and thoughtful consideration of the actions of soldiers under stress then I guess you are either unable to read or uneducated enough to understand.

        Let me precis it for you:
           Soldiers, especially those barely in their twenties are dehumanised by the stress of prolonged combat to the point of losing a realistic connection with normal moral and human values.  This de-humanisation is permanently harmful to those involved both in their conduct in a foreign occupied country and for the rest of their lives.

        More simply, when these guys grow up they are more likely to face some mental crisis becasue of their inhuman behaviours.  You can go to other threads here that point out that over a third of your homelss are bright brave ex-troops.

        In future if you don't understand something it would be better to just ask for help rather than make yourself look silly.

            Bill Clinton’s rape of campaign supporter Juanita Broaddrick, “was an event that in fact took place” according to a Wall Street Journal piece, Feb. 19, 1999.  “To hear the details of her story and the statements of the corroborating witnesses, was to understand that this was an event that in fact took place.”  Three mainstream media outlets reported fleetingly on the evidence for this crime.

            FBI Investigation Opens Wounds

            Juanita’s son Kevin, a lawyer, warned her against lying to a federal grand jury, if it would come to that, and convinced her to tell the truth to federal prosecutor Kenneth Starr during the Clinton impeachment investigation, which is how her own account of the incident eventually became public and led to Juanita’s tearful accounts of being raped by Bill Clinton.

            A Denver radio program, Bob Enyart Live, conducted a corroborating interview with with Norma Rogers (now Norma Kelsay), the nurse who found Juanita shortly after the rape, bruised, sobbing, and with lips swollen twice their size.

      Hopefully you, such garbage there are a couple of suspicious ones in there but when you know as many people as president its hardly surprising especially since some of the connections are pretty tenuous. I don't have the time nor inclination o check each one but suffice to say the snopes article on the matter debunks the myth pretty concretely, you might try reading genuine sources rather than conspiracy sites. I have no idea whether Cain actually harassed anyone I saw very little evidence either way but I didn't really pay the case much attention as it was obvious his campaign was going nowhere. An no a he said she said with some marks o her situation doesn't convince me especially since the accused was the president the possible economic gain is too much of an influencing factor on honesty.

    Does two wrongs make anything ever right. If no quarter is given, no quarter will be received. They make us all look like scum. Do we lower ourselves to their level? Then we will be embroiled in a great holy war. The U.S. government doesn't want that. And no sensible citizen should be for such action. It is reprehensible. It makes the claims made about us true, not just to them, but to the entire world.
