whats the propoganda message of this?

http://news.yahoo.com/panetta-blasts-video-marines-urinating-dead-154050597.html

why is this an issue?

is there a move being made here towards the war? i dont understand why media is hyping this...


if someone is trying to kill me...and i kill them instead.... pissing on their dead body is considered outrageous??? i dont buy it...i think there is a move being played here.

could be...and in those shoes, I might piss on them, although I don't think I would. but I might depending on how pissed I am. IT's very easy to say from the comfort of my couch, but the point is it makes "us" look bad and disrespectful

bottom line, war is a joke sometimes with rules etc....war is war...bad things happen...right or wrong... atleast they didnt piss on them while alive and make them drown in piss...

perhaps there was a lot of heat coming down about leaving iraq?

Although it's disgraceful to piss on any dead man's body, I agree that it's odd that the media has jumped so heavily on this story.

Chris parton raised a good point. How is the fact that killing another human is being shadowed by pissing on his dead body. Who cares if you piss on him. It's the part that someone killed him that is the inhumane thing.

thats what im saying...why is this getting raised as an issue...i dont get the message they are trying to send....

what if they pissed on prisoners? (although I'm pretty sure it's already happened anyway)

One theory is that the hype is being built up so as to inflame the "Taliban." Then perhaps the US could use the excuse that the Taliban are increasing their numbers in response to the video, and thus we must increase our forces as well.

why not just release it to the taliban etc... why do we need to see it? or is it to incite more anti-american sentiment within the USA - therefore creating more "reasons" for outlandish laws like detainment without trial and the stripping of citizenship.... i think i just answered my own question..

Pretty clever. Wish they could put that thinking to good use instead.

i think so Devin--im going with my theory making Barack look better for pulling out of Iraq(hio) ..making people be anti-war gives Barack more votes---- not that anyone is pro-war..but you get what im saying

if only people would listen to ron paul...it's pretty clear and obvious
