This video shows four Marines urinating on the dead bodies of Taliban soldiers. Suffice to say it isn’t for those who are easily offended.

The only question I have is why? What would make anyone think it’s a good idea to urinate on a dead body? Sure, I know these are soldiers fighting in a war, and that those they’re peeing on were their enemy. But have some respect.

Anyone defending this behavior, and there are some inconceivably doing just that, should imagine how they would feel if the roles were reversed.

If an American soldier had been filmed lying dead in the street getting urinated on by a member of the Taliban then there would be outrage and condemnation from all sides. As there should in this case.
