Sad to see… Marines in urination video charged.

Back a while ago I wrote about a group of Marines Urinating on dead Taliban insurgents.

I stand by every word I wrote then and I’m going to stand by every word I write now.

I’m disappointed in the brass at Marine Corps Headquarters.

Don’t get me wrong, I love Marines. I love all my Marine friends and by extension their trusted Marine buddies.

I’m disappointed that the Marine Corps Brass pursued prosecution, and that they’ve seen fit to initiate corps martial proceedings against any of the Marines involved in this incident.

I can’t help but feel that the Marine Corps HQ has become a bunch of pussies who are more interested in looking good on TV and to the Media than backing up the Men & Women serving in the ranks.

Yeah, I just called the top brass pussies! I’ll take my beating if it comes to it.

(You don’t insult a Marine or the Corps without recognizing that you might have to pay a price.)

I’ve been involved through my friends and family on the periphery of the Corps for a very long time. Granted, not so much over the past 20 years or so.

I can’t imagine the changes that have gone on to allow this kind of political BullShit!

At most this incident should have been a slap on the wrists for those involved.

We are supposed to have a higher standard than the Taliban / Al Qaida fucks.

But Court Martial? I think that’s seriously over the top.

There are other charges, some of which are more serious… but frankly it sounds like someone had to dig deep into the UCMJ (Universal Code of Military Justice) to find something to charge these guys with. Which suggests that someone was demanding butts on the wall to appease someone.

As I’ve read several of the articles I found myself wondering “What about the Moron that posted the video in the first place?“

Surely that person brought shame and embarrassment to the Corps. Doesn’t that warrant at least a “Conduct Unbecoming” charge?

I’d hoped that this whole business had been settled behind closed doors. You know, the guys involved got spanked then got told to go out and kill more Taliban.

I’d honestly believed that some salty Marine in Washington had told the asshole liberal politicians to go fuck off. Sadly, I guess not.

Politically Correct doesn’t exist on a battle field. Get over it and move on.
