Having a hard time getting worked up over this supposed war crime. Compared to the litany of war crimes over the last 100 years in all the various wars on the planet, tinkling on the Taliban barely registers a blip on the screen. After all, if given the opportunity, who wouldn't jump at the chance to let loose a yellow stream on Osama Bin Ladens POS corpse?

Even with Osama, that didn't happen. He was killed in the compound, examined, and then the body was cleansed to Islamic standards by two Islamic US soldiers before the body was dumped. US military and International military laws/conventions do not allow the robbing, mutilation, or desecration of dead combatants. The USMC snipers knew this and violated those rules, so they and their commander deserve to be punished. if modern Bundeswehr soldiers had done this, the outcry would have been worse and would have evoked Guernica, WW2, the SS, Einsatzkommandos,and the Holocaust death camps. Imagine if these were US soldiers pissed on by the Taliban too. Remember Somalia and the helo crew dragged through the streets and mutilated, stomped on, spit on, etc...??? This is not trivial by any means and previous historical war crimes have nothing to do with 21st century humanity. We don't live in primitive times nor the Dark Ages...
