War is hell, but we are better than that! I've never been shot at by the Taliban but Viet Cong bullets were just as deadly, right is right and wrong is wrong and self-discipline by the Marines is not appropriate here!

![]() A lot of you have made some excellent points and have enlightened us regarding what has happened in the past on 'their' side and our side that would be considered inappropriate behavior by most standards. Yet, some of these actions were committed by Americans fighting a war and a lot of us can’t comment first hand on what that does to a person.
This incident showed poor judgment from those Marines. Our county will make an example out these Marines in an attempt to show the rest of the world how much better we are than they are, and that these types of actions should not be tolerated. To me, that's what will make us win the stupid award after the atrocities that have been committed to Americans mentioned in the comments above. We should leave it alone and move along but we won’t. |

![]() On video of Taliban corpses, let’s not be so quick to pass judgment..
Leonard Pitts piece on the subject.. The point being, war is a different universe. What seems normal there is appalling here. It is not too much to say that war is a form of madness http://www.miamiherald.com/2012/01/1...pses-lets.html
