So only America has to follow the rules?
To the editor:
Oh sure, our brave soldiers urinate on dead Taliban fighters, fighters sworn to kill as many Americans as possible simply because they are Americans, and our soldiers are the bad guys.
The Taliban and other Muslim zealots can behead us, they can drag our dead bodies through their streets and then call it their religious right, which makes it OK. They can blow up buildings full of innocent citizens in our country and other peaceful nations and call it jihad, which makes it their religious right, and that is OK. They can put million-dollar bounties on people who express a belief that they don't agree with and call it their religious right, and that's also OK. They can make our airports security blockades without any profiling simply because some zealot might decide it is time to blow up another one of our planes or turn it into a guided missile, and that is OK because it is a religious right to fight anyone who doesn't share in their religious belief.
Yes, that makes it their right, by God.
Americans and other peace-loving people are sick of these crazy religious zealots. How many Americans wish they were standing there, urinating with those brave U.S. soldiers, our sons, brothers and husbands? You want crazy? Then send those heroes to jail.
We have to bless America, because if we ask God to bless America, that might offend some zealot.
I say let's waive politics as our religious American right and keep it safe from crazy religious zealots hell-bent on destroying the United States. Let's urinate our way to peace.

Question: Why do radical Islamists hate Western culture?
Is it because four of our warriors urinated on four of their dead warriors? Or is it because some high and mighty woman (Hillary Clinton) thinks our warriors ought to be punished for such action?
Hint. One they respect, the other they can't abide.
If the whole idea is to not act in ways that would cause insane people to not like us, then I say we start by not allowing women in leadership positions anymore. Not by ruining the careers and incarcerating those who stand between our lady leadership and the religious zealots of this world.
The enemy take our dead, burn them, hang them from bridges and drag them through the streets. And Mrs. Clinton is not going to stand for our Marines peeing on someone who just tried to blow their heads off? God help us all.

To the editor:
The outrage over the video of Marines urinating on deceased terrorists is no big deal when you understand what these men face daily. Roadside bombs, rocket-propelled grenades, car bombs and all sorts of other methods designed to kill them.
In bad taste? Yes. But these are our finest, and they deserve our support, not our criticism.
Semper Fi!
