1. Robert Fisk is a fucking asshole. Among other things, the turning the french dead into fertilizer thing has never been proven. Its mostely an urban legend. There was little preservation technology at the time, and no precendent for it, so moving so many dead that far seems unlikely. it is known that some of the dead had there teath removed and turned into dentures, but that was hardely the only place it was done.
  2. Those militaries are such idiots. They're making it even more dangerous for all militaries who take part in the operation. My own country's great soldiers for example.

    Its easy to judge men who have been in horrible situations you can only imagine.
  4. Well I guess that this stuff is bound to happen in war. Soldiers are 'brainwashed' that they kill for the 'greater good'. They see themselves as good, the others as evil.

    I mean if you can live with killing someone, you can live with everything.

    Yeah, right. You invade foreign country without any good reason, you kill their civilians and soldiers and then piss on them. Horrible! I really feel sorry for those assholes. Just imagine, they had to take out their dicks and piss in front of camera. So damn hard and embarrassing. My tears go out to soldiers of the USA!

    We had ample reason to invade Afghanistan, and the dead in the video were Taliban, you know the guys who chop off the heads of still living prisoners, and pay bountys for killing medical personal. Take your left-wing elitist world citizen attitude, and go fuck your face with it. Go bitch about some imaginary hate crimes agaisnt Muslims or something.

    Wow, you even think it was those soldiers that decided to go to war? It wasn't, it was a guy called George.

    And Aaron, I doubt anyone really considers that an excuse to piss on a dead body.

    Not trying to make excuses. Just pointing out, that as a military history expert, this barely moves the needle on the atrocities scale, and mostely just falls under the tasteless acts category. Read about the The Rape of Nanking, and ask yourself if you still care about this. If that dont do it for you, read about Pool Pots rise to power. Make no mistake, these Marines were behaving badely, but its hardely the end all war crime some are making it to be.

    You can't blame George anymore. Obama had a chance to end this farce and he didn't. For me, he's the same as Bush was. Just look what's happening last few days in Israel and Kuwait because of Iran.

    That wasn't what you were saying in your post either. You were making it sound like it was all of the U.S.'s decision, and especially the military.

    Oh, and BTW, you should read my post again, I was saying it was Bush's decision to go to war, and it was.

    Obama and Bush the same? Really? Which countries did Obama invade again? Libya? No, wouldn't call it that.
  11. I don't want to takes sides with the US Military (I assume that's who we're talking about), but in a war situation, where life is unimaginably tough and you've seen comrades fall, you're bound to act a little inhuman towards the enemy when you finally come into contact with them. Of course, conventions, acts and ethics are all there for a reason but in a situation we can't even begin to imagine, all of those must be tested to some extent.

    I can sit here and say that urinating on the enemy is wrong but then again, I haven't been to war, fought in a tough environment against a seemingly elusive opponent and lost friends in battle. In the shoes of someone who has been there, I guess it all comes down to the mentality of the soldier. I'm sure they don't sign up to simply humiliate other humans.
