| US Marine to investigate video of soldiers urinating on corpses |
|
The United States Marine Corps is launching an investigation into a video that has been leaked online, that appears to show Marines, in full combat gear, urinating on several dead bodies. The video shows at least 4 male Marines expose their genitals and urinate on the corpses. The unknown person who posted the clip included a caption of, "Scout sniper team 4 with 3rd battalion 2nd marines out of camp lejeune peeing on dead talibans". Captain Kendra N. Hardesty, a Media Officer for the USMC, said, "While we have not yet verified the origin or authenticity of this video, the actions portrayed are not consistent with our core values and are not indicative of the character of the Marines in our Corps. "This matter will be fully investigated and those responsible will be held accountable for their actions." In the video, one of the men can be heard saying, "Have a great day, buddy." |
