CNN contributor salutes Marines for urinating on dead Afghans

The video of American marines urinating on the corpses of Afghan civilians has prompted worldwide outrage, condemnation from the White House and the opening of a federal investigation. CNN's Dana Loesch thinks the whole thing is pretty cool, though.
Loesch, the 33-year-old CNN contributor hired last year to offer political analysis for the coming election, is already giving the network their money's worth. Speaking during her own syndicated radio program on Thursday, Loesch discussed the just-surfaced video that shows four Marines urinating on the corpses of slain Afghans, presumed to be civilians.
Her own insight seems to be a bit more harsh than the commentary that others are offering.
“I’d drop trou and do it too,” Loesch told listeners during the January 12 broadcast of The Dana Show. “I want a million ‘cool points’ for these guys. Is that harsh to say?” she asked.

Well then, fair enough. Then I suppose that she won't go about screaming in outrage when the Taliban cut off the heads of captured US civilians and POW's on camera. I mean, that's bound to score them some "cool points" don't you think?

Joseph Goebbels would be supremely envious of the propaganda machine that the US has built for itself.

hahaha, that's funny. Oh wait, its only funny when dark-skinned non-christians who aren't US citizens are killed in an ugly manner and have their bodies desecrated afterwards. :glare: Idiot.

War is a tragedy for everyone involved, Americans, Taliban, NATO soldiers, civilians, and so on. When people are not being physically degraded by the other side, they are being morally degraded by their situation (as the video in question proves)

The problem is the induvidual soldiers will probably be prosecuted or punished while the machinery thta created this behaviour and created the conditions in which it could surface will go unscathed.

I recall that Muslims called this a crusade but that this was not accurate because the war is not about spreading Christianity.

But the soldiers do act like crusaders with their brutality against the locals.

While the act itself is pretty disgusting, the military - imperialist armies - in regards to training their troops are de-humanizing machines. The whole point of "training" is to disorient people, isolate them from the rest of society while drumming into the troops by route that what they are shooting at are not people, the targets they are bombing are not communities and hospitals, etc. The result in war after war are soldiers taking trophies and doing all kinds of fucked up things that usually then cause them problems once the ruling class is done with them and tosses people back into society with little meaningful support. So, not that it's not fucked up and disgusting, but these apples aren't the source of the rot.

So somehow - as far as my anger for the individual people involved goes - I feel more outraged by the person making a career and a name for themselves by joking about it and celebrating macabre wartime brutality while sipping coffee and signing their next book deal that their outrageous right-wing statement probably won them.
