Extremists strap bombs to themselves and blow busses full innocent people up. They hijack passenger planes full of innocent people and crash them into building full of innocent people butchering them all. They TARGET the innocent. Urinating on dead corpses just seems comparatively miniscule to me. But that’s just little ole me way over here SOMD trying to make sense of all of this insanity.

And the other part you seem to ignore - as does the Muslim community that likes to take rare instances of misconduct and exploit for reasons to hate us - the video I provided typifies the hearts and minds of our troops. I look forward to the day Muslims recognize THAT.

i am sure that most muslims do recognize that. It is only the extremists that would argue otherwise.

On a similar note, the majority of muslims are peaceful people and i am sure there are countless instances of muslims being charitable.
Houston Muslims help needy families prepare for school « Islamic Circle of North America (ICNA)

that being said it doesn't take away from the fact that some muslims perpetrated an attack on 9/11

Oh, you mean the failed leadership conversation, right?

If people are not willing to put their careers on the line for people who put their lives on the line, they have NO ####ing business being in the business.

In my view.

Had they just killed bin Laden and left, which is what they should have, then, yeah, this is at least Bush's fault. It's as if the lessons of Vietnam just disappeared. Both wars HAD to be wrapped up before they left office. That is all there was to it.

So, yeah.

I completely agree. It's an unfortunate fact that public opinion plays into our wars today, and our leaders allow that to mold their decisions. The media knows this and uses it to the demise of our efforts.

Only Afghanis can desecrate dead Taliban.

The Marines were not "low life scum" based on the victims being civilian farmers - no, if the dead victims were in fact the bodies of armed terrorist then the actions of those Marines is that of low life scum.

The fact that the picture shows the bodies are of unarmed civilians means the Marines are LOWER and worst then simply low life scum.

Doing their desecration to enemy combatants is a crime, but doing such things to civilians is an abomination.

Those Marines who had their actions photographed must have thought of their action as being that of manly-men which only adds insult to their ugly mentality.

The reports say these Marines were long range snipers, as in they used high power rifles from a long distance away and shoots down people who can not even see them, so this up close and personal affront to the dead bodies is no doubt their ideal of manly-men indeed.

We truly need to pack up our American occupation of Afghanistan and move out of there - as it is already long over due.

You're a friggin moron, and wouldn't be to upset if it was your corpse they were pissing on.

Because there is a wheel barrow in the picture they were farmers? Is it possible the wheelbarrow was used to bring their bodies there, or do you believe people die lined up and laying straight?

If you knew anything you'd know the ROE is you can't shoot until they shoot at you, or if they aren't shooting at you you have to get permission fron a flag officer to engage.

Friggin Idiots like you that actually report the news that do more damage to our country than any terrorist ever will. Your level of stupidity never ceases to amaze.

BUT, many here are more than happy to malign an entire religion over the actions of a very few. How do you think the extremeists are going to paint our troops (and america as a whole) over this?

The same way they have been?
