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.

Contradictions are not a good thing.



They tend to render thoughts useless .

We don't have to prove a damn thing to the rest of the world, anyone anywhere witnessing the atrocities of terrorism either see the difference or are blinded by their hatred. We ARE better than this and all of us who have, are or will serve know it!

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

The Taliban rapes little boys and kill their daughters out of honor.
Piss on them
