You trying to prove what exactly? (very disturbing video) Here is a pic....so your point is invalid:03: http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6187/...9da3bca906.jpg |
So we freed a people who likes to f. goats, from the fangs of the Taliban - was this TLAM's point ?
@MH: There arecertainly good and positive photos and video, but one of the sort mentioned ruins ten good ones easily. IF there is a point i just wanted to show how utterly superior our troops are, (in every aspect, compared to the Taliban) and what an example they give, to the Iraqi civilians, and the rest of the world. :nope: And that the first video with which it all began, and which is not shown, (the killing of an "insurgent" Reuters reporter along with "collateral damage" of civilians from a helicopter), reveals that the soldiers doing it were obviously having fun doing it. Whether they were on drugs, or just gung ho or high by having the power to kill is another thing, but discipline and a shining example has not much to do with it. Which, again, places us high above those primitive barbarians :doh: |
I personally find the cruelity against a helpless animal much more disturbing, despicable and disgusting than peeing on an enemy's corpse.
For the latter I have some understanding to a point - this doesn't mean I find it good. However this is no boxing match, where you shake each others hands after a fair fight, those people wanted to off each other before - so it's more difficult to switch to "respect mode" afterwards. The question remains why a sheep which is literally one of the most unagressive creatures has to be a target of uncalled violence, there are many other ways to work off pent-up aggression. |

"She hit me first, so I had to blow her brains out!" :D note: if someone doesn't get the sarcasm, you need to lighten up, I can't help it. The people here, who were children after WW2 still hold very good memories of the US troops. I'd say treating kids nice was an effective way to win hearts & minds. |

Well done ducimus, it isn't everyone who can serve themselves up on a plate like that. :rotfl2: |
Geopolitically, I think this doesn't matter in the least. Convince me otherwise, and I'll care to the extent it harms us. Hmm, maybe it will make the enemy become so insanely religious they'll kill themselves and civilians on purpose! Nah, no group could be that stupid...
As far as the USMC is concerned, if they believe it to be a discipline issue, and want to pursue it, that's their prerogative. In historical context (including the notion that "we're better than such behavior"), this is nothing at all. US Marines did FAR worse routinely to jap carcasses in ww2. Did worse to living people, too (given the fact that summary execution was the norm for most combat actions vs the japs). If the US was "the good guys" in ww2, and if the world liked us AFTER ww2, then making any argument about how this looks seems absurd to me. We killed more, we killed more civilians (intentionally, into the bargain), and our guys took souvenirs (including body parts) from enemy corpses, yet we were still loved and admired after the war. Stuff like this only matters to the extent that the media gins it up. The lads deserve a reprimand for being stupid, that's about it. |

Nobody had better say this is wrong....unless of course they are a border guard as those are the only people who can say its wrong:yeah: |
Now watch, somebody will post a link to a traffic stop argument or something similar and then actually try to compare it to soldiers in a combat zone. :roll:
