Yes, the Pentagon is still wringing their hands over the pictures that appeared on the gossip website, TMZ that showed Marines burning the bodies of their dead enemies. I think that we can all agree that the incident probably happened because of hygiene and for the welfare of US troops in the area. But, apparently, the perfumed princes are concerned that marines may have actually smiled while in the vicinity of the smoldering enemies’ bodies, according to Fox News<\/a>;<\/p>\n

Navy Rear Admiral John Kirby, however, said that even if burning the corpses was permissible, one of the photos, which depicts a grinning Marine kneeling over a skull, could raise separate problems.<\/p>\n

“Aside from the burning, there were other images in that collection which are troubling for other reasons,” Kirby told Fox News, adding that Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel is “deeply troubled” by the images.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This is a low-point for the politically correct Pentagon. Why are they even spending a moment’s thought on this incident? Now, I wasn’t in Fallujah, I was living in downtown DC at the time. But maybe one of you could tell me of the general order which addressed smiling while near dead insurgents. Or any other policy the Marine Corps had at the time about being amused in the presence of dead bodies. <\/p>\n

Troubling? I’ll tell what’s troubling – a rear admiral who won’t tell the media to find a real story instead of worrying about the public discovering the fact that war is grisly and messy and sometimes our Marines try to lighten up the mood in amongst all of that nasty shit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
