That's the quality of people sent over there...Just not a smart or respectable thing to do.
That's bullshit, go serve before you say something that stupid. I served and fought with great Marines, men that would never do stupid shit like that. Those are NOT, true Marines, and it's dumb assholes like that, that constantly give our military a black eye. They will be found, and will do time, as they should, and will be kicked out of the Marines, as they should! They will also have a dishonorable discharge on their record for life, shame they should certainly carry!
I think you'll find good and bad people; people that make good and bad decisions, etc., wherever you go.

Michael Savage - Marines Urinating on Taliban Deserve a Medal
Aired Jan. 12, 2012 - U.S. officials moved swiftly Thursday to try to prevent diplomatic damage and contain public disgust from the release of a video that appeared to show Marines urinating on three Afghan corpses — images that spread quickly around the globe.
Defense Secretary Leon E. Panetta said he had viewed the video and considered it "utterly deplorable." He telephoned Afghan President Hamid Karzai and pledged a full investigation.
Prior to the call, Karzai described the video as "completely inhumane and condemnable in the strongest possible terms." His administration called on the U.S. military to "apply the most severe punishment to anyone found guilty in this crime."
The video, which runs for less than a minute, depicts four Marines in combat gear laughing and joking as they urinate on three male bodies. The caption refers to the corpses as "dead Talibans," but it is unclear whether the men were civilians or fighters killed after a battle.
U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton expressed "total dismay" at the behavior depicted in the recording, and said the "vast, vast" majority of American military personnel would not engage in such actions.
