[QUOTE="Loren Jones, post: 43627, member: 829"] Re: Marines urinate on dead Taliban Rafi, I would humbly suggest that you walk a mile in their shoes (or perhaps 2 or 3 year long tours worth of miles in their shoes) before you shoot off your mouth in a self righteous and judgmental fashion. I am not condoning what they did and not justifying their actions by saying "at least we aren't as bad as the people we are fighting". When you say that what these Marines did isn't any less disgusting than what the enemies do you engage in the textbook moral equivalence fallacy. [B] Moral Equivalence:[/B] This fallacy compares minor misdeeds with major atrocities. This doesn't mean these Marines were right or justified. It also doesn't mean we are wrong to have a policy that emphasizes proper conduct and punishes wrong actions. I simply don't agree that this is the kind of thing that deserves a court martial. What law do you suggest they violated? What sort of punishment would you assign for this act? Loren Jones [/QUOTE]
