Re: Marines urinate on dead Taliban
"Do unto others as you would have them do unto you."
People in this country scream and holler and pass laws trying to over emphasize the position of Christian Law, and yet the Christian Flag Waving Demagogues seem to conveniently forget the Teachings of Christ when events like this happen.
Both of my brothers are in the Army. One of them just came back from a year long deployment in Afghanistan, the other is scheduled to leave in February. The actions of these Marines have put them and their fellow soldiers into greater jeopardy than they already were in. I know that both of them would not participate in actions such as these, and in fact would report such actions to their senior NCO or commanding officers. But, like me, they are not followers of the Christian Religion, so maybe that says something itself.
Wrong. We don't train our young men and women to be killers. We train them to become warriors; to do the things that most in our society are unwilling to do, to protect those who are unable to protect themselves, and to do it while upholding a high level of honor and nobility in the face of unjust treatment from our enemies. But failure to uphold that high level of honor means that our soldiers are just the same as the Taliban, or Al-Qaeda. Our Soldiers and Marines must always take the moral high ground, ALWAYS. Otherwise our entire society is nothing more than a hypocritical shame, a lie.
