Why is this newsworthy? :dunno:

I pissed on a grave in the US. Never had the time to do so elsewhere. There was beer to be drunk and toasts to "the victorious dead" to be made.

Because it's not acceptable under military law.

It's just a public relations thing - people are worried about how the Afghan/muslim people are going to respond, as if the Taliban weren't already doing their best to kill the infidels already. But there are some serious rumblings about getting them to peace negotiations in Qatar, which may help expedite the process of ISAF withdrawing from Afghanistan.

As for the act itself, I say big effin' deal. Youtube just wasn't available in earlier conflicts. Urinating on the corpses of dead enemy combatants? If Marine officers merely caught sight of this before the media did, the enlisted guys involved would be sentenced to cleaning out latrines for a day, at worst. It hardly constitutes a crime.

Undisciplined idiots, should be ashamed of themselves. Is that the latest tactic in winning hearts and minds? A moderate who after seeing that video just might become radicalised and take up arms against the piss taking oppressor.
“I wish no harm to any human being, but I, as one man, am going to exercise my freedom of speech. No human being on the face of the earth, no government is going to take from me my right to speak, my right to protest against wrong, my right to do everything that is for the benefit of mankind. I am not here, then, as the accused; I am here as the accuser of capitalism dripping with blood from head to foot.”

True that.

First they make the indiscriminate killing of civilians illegal, now this. What's the world of warcraft coming to?

Pretty close to what I was getting at. You get a medal for killing them, but go to prison for pissing on them afterwards? I'd much rather be pissed on than killed, thank you. With the right female involved, I might even cough up some cash for the experience...
