US Marines to launch investigation into video of soldiers pissing on corpses
From the “Fuck you, we really should be better than this” department, the US Marines has launched an investigation into a video that hit the web recently of a group of American soldiers pissing on the corpses of dead Taliban.
In the extremely graphic video, which appeared on various websites this morning, at least 4 male Marines expose their genitals and urinate on the bodies. The mystery person who posted the video included a caption that reads, “scout sniper team 4 with 3rd battalion 2nd marines out of camp lejeune peeing on dead talibans.”
Now, Captain Kendra N. Hardesty – a Media Officer for the USMC – tells us, “While we have not yet verified the origin or authenticity of this video, the actions portrayed are not consistent with our core values and are not indicative of the character of the Marines in our Corps.”
She adds, “This matter will be fully investigated and those responsible will be held accountable for their actions.” In the video, one of the urinating men can be heard saying, “Have a great day, buddy.” Another guy jokes about the situation … saying, “Golden like a shower.”
