US Marine urinate on dead Afghan civilians

An anonymous person posted a video with a caption: 'Scout sniper team 4 with 3rd battalion 2nd marines out of camp lejeune peeing on dead talibans.'

The four were members of the 3rd Battalion, 2nd Marines from Camp Lejeune in North Carolina reported CNN.

The 40-second clip shows four men in combat gear standing over the three corpses with their genitals exposed as they relieve themselves can be heard joking 'Have a great day, buddy', 'Golden like a shower' and 'Yeahhhh!' as they groan with relief whilst urinating.

The three corpses are all male and are wearing civilian clothes. The youngest corpse lies on his front with an overturned wheelbarrow dumped by his side.

The other two are on their backs and one has a large blood stain on his chest.

Camp Lejeune is in North Carolina and is the largest Marine Corps Base on the East Coast of the U.S., home to 40,000 marines.

The 3rd Batallion 2nd Marines consists of 800 Marines and sailors and is nicknamed the 'Betio Bastards', a reference to the island of Betio in the Tawara Atoll and the site of one of the most deadly battles with the Japanese in World War II.

Their motto is: 'We quell the storm, and ride the thunder!' or 'Strength and Honour'.

A politician who served in the U.S. Army for two decades today slammed those from outside the military who have criticised the four Marines seen in the video urinating on dead Afghan bodies.

Florida Rep. Allen West, an ex-Army lieutenant colonel, insisted what the Marines did were wrong but fumed: ‘As for everyone else, unless you have been shot at by the Taliban, shut your mouth, war is hell.’

Meanwhile a conservative radio host said she wants 'a million cool points for these guys' and would be willing to join them.

'C'mon people, this is a war,' CNN contributor Dana Loesch told FM News Talk 97.1 in St Louis, Missouri. 'Do I have a problem with that as a citizen of the United States? No, I don't.'
