Pretty much sums it up for me...
"Our leaders are in a panic. Hillary and Panetta are horrified, and their public comments verge on hysteria (Panetta called the behavior “utterly deplorable” and Hillary expressed “total dismay”). Afghan President Karzai, a noted humanitarian,(Uh Huh?) declared it “inhumane.” Our full military investigative apparatus, last seen prosecuting Marines subsequently found innocent, is in full activity, and no doubt heads, if not other parts of the anatomy, will be figuratively sliced off.
I wonder if they know there’s a war on, and what sorts of things routinely happen in wartime. It may well be that they are so involved in trying to extend yet another outstretched hand to our enemies, that they are really shocked at the very idea that men on the battlefield aren’t devotees of Emily Post’s rules of etiquette, and even violate the Geneva Convention’s strictures against desecrating dead bodies.
To the media pack, the “pi**ing story” was a welcome present, because they can unleash their full primal scream of righteous indignation against the Marines, whom they resent because the Marines are so very good at what they do.
The bottom line is that the media pack is herding our officials into a politically correct apology frenzy, and you can be sure that the Marines have been told to move very fast so that public sacrifices can be staged.
It’s pretty shameful, and I doubt the public views this spectacle with great enthusiasm. I wonder what a Rasmussen poll would yield if the American people were asked if they think the behavior of the pi**ing Marines was akin to a major war crime. And do they think the Marines should be sent to Guantanamo?
It used to be that our military leaders felt free to **** on our enemies with great abandon. Or at least on their frontiers. Here, for example, is a video of General George Patton happily pi**ing into the Rhine River en route to Hitler’s Berlin. Nobody demanded HIS head for this shameful act.
But then, Patton was all about winning, and the media of that long forgotten time felt the same way — as the video proves — and thought it was just great for an American soldier to show his contempt for our enemies in a very traditional way".
