That's because you don't know what you're talking about. Try "taliban atrocities". Duh.
White House Stands By Biden Statement That Taliban Isn't U.S. Enemy | Fox News
Didn't you get the memo?

Did you read this article? Not that it matters one bit in my comments to MaggieD.
If, when I Google "Afghanistan Atrocities," I get scores and scores of those supposedly committed by U.S. soldiers, beyond that I should get those committed against our soldiers as well. "Duh" right back atcha'.
Oh, and by the way, please give me a link to some committed against our soldiers. We are being spoon fed.
point is, the people you support don't consider the ones that kill and maim the soldiers over thier "the enemy", yet we are here concerned with Marines pissing on a bunch of savages corpses.
You don't know who I support, nor do they speak for me.
This thread is full of the immature, and dangerous, rationalizations for Americans doing unAmerican things. It's typical of the small-minded thinking that comes up whenever an incident like this happens. It's sad. It hurts us in so many ways.
thing is, "soldiers" have been desecrating the corpses of their fallen enemies for as long as there has been conflict.
"small minded", coming from the naivley ignorant on the subject of being in a warzone, all I can do is shrug. See -> :shrug:
People of good will and those who have a sense of decency would be disgusted by such displays no matter which side performed them. The sad record of history is that there is no shortage of wrongs committed during war.
As Americans, many of us like to believe we are a bit better than the rest, that we have higher standards than the rest, and we subscribe to a code of decency and honor that puts us on a higher moral plane than the rest. When something like this pops up, it causes those beliefs about ourselves to be questioned.

Is desecrating bodies in war wrong, or okay? You pick.
You claimed that nobody cared about atrocities by our enemy. I proved that wrong.
I'm done doing your research for you. Maybe there aren't any atrocities being committed against our soldiers. Maybe they are, but are hard to find. I don't know. But it's up to you to prove they are. Simply saying you haven't found them isn't an argument. It's mighty convenient for you, because you can claim they're being covered up, rather than either looking for them (if they exist) or admitting they aren't there (if they don't). That's standard conspiracy theory logic.
Yes, this is all true, however when something like this happens, it's important to keep perspective. Pissing on the corpses of these savages is mild compared to what they have done to others.
'What??? Misterman, please read. You didn't even understand what I wrote, much less proved it wrong.
"Maybe there aren't any atrocities being committed against our soldiers." This mindset is the perfect example of why propaganda works. Kool Aid.
You wouldn't understand life in a warzone.
Ah, so you're creeping toward moral relativity. We can be depraved as long as we're not as depraved as they are. Could we blow up their buildings with civilians inside as long as we don't kill as many as they killed on 9/11?
Never claimed that.

I asked you question. Don't be a coward, answer it.

You were claiming that nobody reports on Taliban atrocities, right?
Combine small minds with rabid partisanship and you get **** like this.
