Those videos of Marines ****ing on dead bodies will be used as Taliban or Al-Quaida propaganda to recruit more terrorists against the US.
Wrong of the Marines to do it in the first place and downright stupid to video it and show the video to others.
As for going to prison for such a thing, I would not agree. Reduction in rank to Private and the other items mentioned by Allen West would be appropriate. This is not a prison offense but just exhibited gross stupidity on the part of the Marines involved.

Buggyone: You certainly articulate some valid points, and I for one abhor such behavior irrespective of whethr it is committed by us or them.
However, I believe katz focused on the reality of it all and otherwise good and humane men and women are thrown into a world many of us could not even imagine.
