For those who think it's ok for marines to urinate on dead bodies

[kpete]

are you listening Dana Loesch?



HONOR - Marines are held to the highest standards, ethically and morally. Respect for others is essential. Marines are expected to act responsibly in a manner befitting the title they’ve earned.

COURAGE - Courage is not the absence of fear. It is the ability to face fear and overcome it. It is the mental, moral, and physical strength ingrained in every Marine. It steadies them in times of stress, carries them through every challenge and aides them in facing new and unknown confrontations.

COMMITMENT - Commitment is the spirit of determination and dedication found in every Marine. It is what compels Marines to serve our country and the Corps. Every aspect of life in the Corps shows commitment, from the high standard of excellence to vigilance in training.

3. Is that the CNN contributor?

We DO need to deluge CNN with our complaints.

I always go a little softly on these people who have been subjected to war -- it's got to mess with your mind more than any of can understand. But look at the thousands of kids who have served over there -- multiple times -- and THEY didn't engage in this behavior. There's no excuse or rationalization for something like this.

6. A coworker posted a facebook statement that we don't what the bad guys did

"Sitting at our computers in our homes. I do not believe we can judge soldiers at war evey day who are being hunted down and kill to protect themselves. As for the pissing no ones knows what on prior to that. Is it polite? No. I wasn't there so...I think the person who posted this should be ashamed. You have ruined these soldiers lives."

8. What is right hell no, can you understand yes

I don't think what the Marines did was right by no means but one must understand what happens in a combat zone. Friends are killed, your life is at risk, and with hit and run tactics it can be very frustrating to constantly be hit and when you engage the enemy gets away. Once you finally close with and destroy the enemy it can be frustrating when you finally see the SOB that killed or wounded your brother.
