We Will Probe video of men urinating on Taliban fighters: US Marines
Ashamed of a US Marine. This is not expect of any self respecting marine or human being. This is unexceptable behavior any where anytime by anyone. This is a crime and should be punished.
US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton condemns the "deplorable behavior" depicted in a video that appears to show US Marines urinating on dead Taliban fighters.
Mrs Clinton expressed her "total dismay" at the video and promised that those responsible would be held accountable.
"It is absolutely inconsistent with American values, with the standards of behavior that we expect from our military personnel and that you know the vast, vast majority of our military personnel, particularly our marines, hold themselves to," she said.
The online video showed four US Marines in combat fatigues laughing as they relieved themselves over three bodies lying in the dust at their feet. Nato forces in Afghanistan fear that outrage over the desecration of Muslim bodies will incite more violence.
Investigators are reported to have identified two men involved in the video. All involved are believed to be from from the 3rd Battallion, 2nd Marine Regiment, which is based out of Camp Lejeune, North Carolina.
