Debate: Marines Urinating on Taliban
Side: Horrible.

"And you don't find this ambiguous at all? "No, the original point was meant to be interpreted as the general behaviour of the US military, I'm really struggling to understand how you can think otherwise, and you seem to be under the illusion that you've somehow caught me out, the is just like the SN incident. Now, you don't know what I meant, I know what I meant, you can choose to not beleive me if you wish, and I'm sure you don't, it's likely that you see ulterior motives in everything I type given how my views are fairly antithetical to your own."Not even a little bit?"Ok, I will conceed that there was a certain amount of abiguity in what I wrote, but your perception of me is what made you jump the the conclusion that I was talking exclusively about the pissing incident. Any fair minded person who reads this will realise I was referring to US military in general,I thought this would be obvious, but clearly your perception of me allows you to jump to ridiculous conclusions.How the hell can you think I'd hold such a stupid position, one that is patently false to anyone with a brain?"You still have presented zero evidence "The evidence for my claims is freely available, see the supporting link."not even attempt to qualify exactly what behavior you are talking about "No, I did, you clearly aren't even reading what I'm writing i.e. "I'd say pissing on corpses isn't condoned if I had to guess though, that doesn't mean treating people like shit, beating them, wounding them, torturing them, killing them every now and then, that's a different story.""shows your commitment to making broad sweeping generalizations."My views are completely uncontroversial my friend, call them broad sweeping generalisation if it makes you feel better about your countries atrocious war crimes, unfortunately for you the numbers, the destruction, and the general results of your militaries actions, don't lie."Any behavior that is KIND OF like pissing corpses is institutionalized....except for the actual act of pissing on corpses, which of course isn't institutionalized. What a joke."I'll bet similar aguments went on between people when you were in vietnam, and it's precisely because of opinions like yours that so many americans are completely ignorant of the their countries actions in that war that resutls in 4 million dead (overwhelmingly civilian)."No need to understand how the military operates, no need to understand what is or is not policy. You watch the news...enough said. Am I right?"No, I've looked at the catalogued history of US war crimes available in the iraq war logs, I've weighed up the that fact that hundreds of thousands were killed in the war, millions more displaced, that fact that over the last 20 yrs Iraq has gone from one of the most advanced societies in the ME, with the best infrastructure, to one of the most impoverished, fragmented, and decrepit. Over a million people (500,000 children) starved and died before the second invasion due to improper sanitation and healthcare, which was the result of sanctions forcibly imposed (as the world was by in large against them) by the US, Isreal, and Britain.And thats just Iraq, so when I say that kind of disrespectful behaviour is institutional I don't need to doubt that opinion because I have far more evidence than is necessary to back it up, nuff said."What the hell do I know about whats institutionalized in the military, I only work in the Headquarters Company of my National Guard Unit in the S4 section. You obviously have a better grasp of the subject matter than I."I couldn't care less about what you know or do not about the US military."You made a baseless generalization, I called you on it, you were wrong.I made a reasonable generalization based on facts documented in the Iraq war logs, you willfully misinterpreted it, tried to call me up on it, but have since been proven wrong.
