Good news over the weekend. You’ll remember this event. The madness of Islamists is made clear when their murdering children is just fine in their book, but getting urinated on is a no-no. Even worse in this case is how we cave to the madness. effectively sacrificing our troops to the insanity of the enemy. In this case, we’ve got some good news, but charging any of these Marines never should have happened in the first place. I think you might agree that our capitulating to the Islamist point-of-view is just one indication of why we’ve never been inclined to eliminate the Taliban scum from the face of the Earth.
We’re also not getting any explanation about why the charges were dropped. Some of the revelations here, however, mirror other efforts by the command structure to manipulate and interfere with the case against our officer. It’ll be interesting to find out exactly what happened here.
The Marine Corps has dropped charges against a captain who was implicated in a video that showed four Marines urinating on dead Taliban members in Afghanistan.
Lt. Gen. Kenneth J. Glueck, who heads Marine Corps Combat Development Command, filed a court paper on Friday that withdrew the dereliction of duty charges against Capt. James V. Clement.
Clement was accused of not properly supervising the Marines who urinated on the corpses in 2011, but Glueck’s order did not explain why the case was being dropped…
Instead, Glueck ordered that Clement face an administrative board of inquiry, which will determine if he will be retained or separated from the Marine Corps over less than honorable conditions for the alleged misconduct.
Clement’s attorneys had earlier won a judge’s order for two attorneys to testify in court over accusations that senior Marine commanders had interfered in the case proceedings.
In another of the cases, a Marine Corps sniper was reduced in rank after pleading guilty at a court-martial.

Got Bacon? I think our service men and women should carry a tube of bacon bits in their pocket whenever deployed to Mooslim countries to fight. When they destroy the enemy, they can sprinkle bacon bits on ’em (cuz everything is better with bacon bits). Is that wrong too?
But seriously, this is one case where you just gotta say: “Boys will be boys”. War ain’t pretty, people.
