Yeah. Video proof is no indication.The US Marine Corps says it will investigate a video posted on the internet which appears to show US soldiers in Afghanistan urinating on corpses.
In a statement issued on Wednesday after the footage came to light, the corps said the matter would be fully investigated.

The video, which was first posted on the Live Leak website, shows four men in military uniforms urinating on three bloodied bodies on the ground, apparently aware that they were being filmed.
One of them jokes: "Have a nice day, buddy." The other makes a lewd joke about a shower.

"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," the statement said.

And guess who isn’t disturbed by the video? That’s right…the Taliban.
Apparently, the perpetrators are no longer serving in Afghanistan. And in the meantime, while you run your “investigation”, I suggest you get ALL Americans, including soldiers, out of there."American soldiers are trained to spread horror and this is one of the examples," the Taliban said.
However, the group's statement added that the incident would not affect negotiations with the US after US officials said Washington would send an envoy to Afghanistan to prepare the ground for direct peace talks.
Jesus Christ on a bicycle. They will no doubt hate us for our freedoms now.
No, it wasn’t Wikileaks, but I suspect somebody’s going to be Assanged. And if not, why not?
