Marines in Afghanistan Draw Scrutiny

The internet continues to pose problems for indiscreet users. Recently, a video made the You Tube rounds featuring an alleged group of Marines peeing on some dead bodies. Outrage reverberated around the globe from the usual suspects. Diplomats, officials, and pundits had to pile on for the customary reasons.

Rule#5 P on the enemy dead, whoever they are
Rule #6 Damn the politicians and their ilk
