Detouring back to the subject, it may interest the pig haters that human flesh tastes like pork. Of course, others say it tastes like tangy pork. Some say it tastes like veal. Some say it tastes like beef. I think, never having been a cannibal, humans taste like nothing.
So....are you saying it's the other white meat? Competition in the pork market?

But other people do.

It doesn't hurt to be respectful and to treat their bodies as we would wish those of our own people to be treated.

When it comes to the military - discipline and professionalism is part of the glue that holds a unit together under some of the worst conditions. Killing people in a war requires that they be dehumanized. It is not much of a step to desecrate their dead. And yet one more step to desecrate their women. Or kill their civilians. What keeps it in check is discipline and a professional attitude and that means even with what seems like small things. Desecrating bodies may seem small to some of us but they are very big things to others including our own people who were outraged when dead bodies were dragged through the streets of Mogidishu.

I could be all wrong - that is simply my opinion. I would not want our military to be any less than theirs because they are better and we are better.
I understand your POV. I just disagree. A dead body is a dead body. And what we're talking about here is the dead bodies of people who just tried to kill our soldiers and may have even succeed in killing or injuring some. I have zero issue with our soldiers pissing on such scum.

Would you have an issue with them pissing on ours?

No. The only issue anyone would have with it is emotional. And I'm looking at this logically.

I sent the Taliban three (3) THREE! letters of annoyance, informing them that they had better stop this nonsense of treating women like pig poopoo, and above all, do not partake of the nonsense of utilizing their bladder contents to hydrate any corpses they may come upon. If they continue, I will raise such a hissy fit that will make their mommas spank them like red-headed stepchildren. I am holding my breath waiting for their response. I signed it, the Azzaholah Muhammid, from Afghanistan.

If I were king for a day I would require our soldiers to piss on all their bodies and bury them inside a pig. The only thing those fanatic scumbags understand is strength. where was the outrage when the scumbags poisoned the water supply to the girls school in Afghanistan? Since Obama became COOTWH our casualty rate has went up because of hisa stupid rules of engagement. ITS A WAR DUMBASS THERE ARE NO RULES OTHER THAN KILL OR BE KILLED!

U.S. Marines Urinating On Taliban Video Brings Criminal Charges

Back in the days when men really were allowed to behave as men, this wouldn't have gotten anything more than a hearty "so the Hell what?" In those days, not so long ago, soldiers took body parts for souvenirs, had trophy photos made with their kills, and often treated the bodies of enemy dead like infectious garbage, which is exactly what they were. I could even post videos from a historical site I know, taken from old films to illustrate my point, if anyone would like.

Every single, solitary person here has lived their entire lives reaping the benefits of war fought that way, that is like WAR; saturated in primal, brutal murderous, in some ways childish, masculinity. That's what war is folks. Didn't you know?

We send normal young men forth to kill and main to drop bombs on places where infants suckle at their mothers' breasts, to rend, burn, crush, shoot, and stab strangers who are trying to do the same and worse to them, all at the command of political leaders.

We send them into harm's way to deal with murderous savages, to suffer crippling injures, virtually limitless pain, slow, agonizing deaths, the loss of their closest friends, to be maimed, crippled and disfigured.

And now, effete little twits sitting on their well larded backsides behind desks with 25¢ titles, who haven't the moral right to stand in these soldiers' shadows for the undue honor it would grant them, have the vulgar, pretentious, disgusting temerity to dare to prosecute anyone from this episode.

"Kill on our command, but do it nicely!" People who find their tender sensibilities offended, but who will never face so much as a mugger or snarling dog need to accept that the best thing they could do is to shut their eyes until the real men finish the work which we as a society have decided is worth more than their lives.

Good God, what have we become?
