Marines investigating video

The Marine Corps is investigating a video that was posted on YouTube which purports to show Marines urinating on Taliban corpses. The video is above – until it gets removed. But the Star & Stripes reports;

The video, posted Tuesday on YouTube , shows four men in U.S. military uniforms standing above the corpses, joking and making references to relieving themselves on the dead men. Capt. Kendra Hardesty, a spokeswoman for the Corps, said officials have not verified any details of the incident but added, “The actions portrayed are not consistent with our core values and are not indicative of the character of the Marines in our Corps. This matter will be fully investigated and those responsible will be held accountable for their actions.”

It looks a little grainy to me and it’s hard to tell what’s going on in the video. I think someone is being pranked.

I understand the sentiment, but I don’t condone it…especially filming it and putting it on YouTube. That was a real bonehead play.
