Devon Fox Posted January 13, 2012 Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 I am very sure the Taliban do worse to our dead. not very clever though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imperfection Posted January 13, 2012 Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 The taliban will carry on whether this video existed or not.They're fanatics and you cannot reason with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zapp Posted January 13, 2012 Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 Regardless of the Marines' feelings toward their enemies, it was a stupid and counterproductive thing to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catweazle Posted January 13, 2012 Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 It's a bit rich, the Taliban complaining, considering how many throats they've cut on video and how many teenagers they've hanged for "crimes against modesty". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobt Posted January 13, 2012 Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 The stupid thing was filming it, Im sure much worse happens both sides. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EMcC Posted January 13, 2012 Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 What did the media, or whoever filmed it, think would happen when they made it public. There ought to be a blanket ban on all cameras and newsfolk in the battle zone. Let the the lads get on and do the job no matter what it takes and if an incident like this makes one Taliban stop and think for one second then good, it gives our guys the split second it needs to get the upper hand.

MM Posted January 13, 2012 Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 The stupid thing was filming it, Im sure much worse happens both sides. i do agree. I hope they carry on peeing on them, just dont film it. considering what they did to that young lad who got lost whilst looking for a night vision scope that somebody dropped, i think this is tame. I hope they splash a drop on them for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon R Posted January 13, 2012 Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 I am sure far worse happens - committed by either side, but you can't claim the moral high ground doing truly stupid things like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunderbird Posted January 13, 2012 Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 This kind of situation always makes me despair. In extreme stress and the aftermath of a battle people can do foolish or out of character things. The act was foolish, and may have also been out of character too, we will probably never know the latter. Trouble is in this day and age all it takes is some idiot with a mobile phone filming it and pow - it's all over the Internet. US flags get burned, a lot of rounds are expended into the air, and some poor sap gets his head chopped off allegedly because of it. Bad business. Everyone's a loser.

roadkill Posted January 13, 2012 Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 They should be able to do what they want to them. What we should do is ban all cameras and news groups from war zones . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scully Posted January 13, 2012 Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 It's war....worse things have happened.The only things that have changed is that modern technology has made it very public,to a worldwide audience,within minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stripey999 Posted January 13, 2012 Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 You will find that it wasn't the media that filmed it and banning the media wouldn't have stopped it getting out. The morons filmed themselves and put it on youtube. No matter what you feel about the enemy in a hostile situation. Once you have had to take their life, you should show them some respect. We are supposed to be civilised trying to fight agains an uncivilised terrorist. This type of thing shows that some so called peace keepers are no better than those they aim to supress.

guest1957 Posted January 13, 2012 Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 They are idiots. War is as much about winning the moral battle as well as the physical one. Next time troops are killed by insurgents, the perpetrators of this may well have motivated the killing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you earn respect by urinating on corpses? Most who have served will get how wrong this is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunderbird Posted January 13, 2012 Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 Exactly. People who say they get what they deserve probably haven't seen an unwilling 17 year old conscript crapping his pants. But for geography could be anyone's son.

My friend I would guess that you have never served nor looked at a terrorist through your sights. Many of these "scum" are kids who have been forced to fight or else their sister or mother gets raped. What I am saying is, once the terrorist has been killed, his body deserves the funeral and respect that his religeon demands. Not desecrated like these American Marines did.
