Don't be mad at the peeing; be mad at the killing
but Americans don't see it that way. Americans are outraged that their own would give these poor dead Afghans a golden shower but it was fine to shoot them in the head because they aren't human anyway.
Factoid: more American soldiers kill themselves than die in combat and female American soldiers are more likely to be raped by a fellow soldier than die in combat.

I'm not mad at the peeing. War is war.
I don't understand why they film these events. Bloody stupid.
Those buggers were trying to kill them. They pissed on them. Big deal.
I'm sure the Taliban would love to cut their testicles off and shove it in the US soldiers mouths. The utilmate sign of disrespect for the dead.
When I met an Iraqi in Dubai, about to return home to fight, he told me that is what he intended to do to all the US soliders he kills.
The answer is for them all to take of ftheir shoes, show the dead the soles and throw shoes at the dead. What an uoroar that will create.

I think you are missing the point. This is more a PR war than anything else. We could bring our troops home if the Muslims came to their senses. Pissing on corpses doesn't help that.

I get the point. These guys should not have filmed it. Footy trip rules. What happens on the battle field, stays on the battle field. The first casualty of war "the true" should remain a casualty.
Yes, it does not help the repuation of the west when their actions offend.
What has the world become. We were shocked when the evil of the Nazi's were revealed.
We are now shocked when troops piss on the people they tried to kill them.
It is a PR war. One without balance. Where the west has to maintain a higher moral position than saints.
The enemy have no such restrictions. It weakens us when we try to be so clean and proper. Shit happens. Some of our people do stupid things. We deal with it and move on.

The whole situation is pretty absurd. We beat them at war, then set up a democracy for them so they could take back control of their country, and they spit the dummy. They are even slughtering fellow afghans to stop democracy. It kind of makes divide and conquer pretty easy to pull off. Instead of trying to bring down America they are trying to bring down their own democratic system. Once again the fighting is contained to the lunatic backwaters of the muslim crescent. No other losers in history have been let off so easily and then tried so impotently to get revenge.
It kind of reminds me of PA.

I find this utterly disturbing, and think the concept of our installing a democracy was an excuse.
US troops are animals, do we really want them here in Australia infecting our's with what ever disease it is they have?
Time we sent the US troops back to where they came from, I don't want this muck corrupting our diggers.
Look at them, they are animals, dogs piss on their kill, mark their leftovers once they are finished with the carcass.
Freediver, these are American troops pissing on Afghanistans fallen soldiers.

The whole concept of rule is quite laughable.
Here you have countries trying to kill the other, yet they must follow rules!
Oh and now they want to advocate that the victors must act in a gentlemanly manner
You had your shot, now it's my turn. Now stand still like a good chappie.
Sure the US acted as animals and disrespectful, but hey would it have been better had they behaved "Oh jolly good shot that, what not", cause if that's what you want then it'd have been the US soldiers laying on the ground getting pssed on by the Iraquis.
There's barbarians in every victorious army, and that's what makes them victorious.

It does remind me of PA.
Self destructive.
The west tries to have the high moral ground and has no appreciation for the root cause of the conflict. The problem is it is not a real nation they are at war with. So who are we defeating.
When at war, we send in young men to kill or be killed. You have to demonise the enemy to get the right behavour. Pissing on the dead that tried to kill you is a reflection of the mental state our soliders are in. How can we punish them for a little relief. Pun intended.
