Wrong thing to do... WWJD - well He wouldn't urinate on one of God's creations, be it dead or alive, any living creature or a human being. This comment comes from a God fearing person mmtlash...

Funny how all the religious God fearing folks on Golo suddenly approve of actions such as this....what about "WWJD"? Do you think Jesus would urinate on the deceased?

They should give him a medal! miketroll3572

Which medal exactly? Do you even have a vague idea of what you have to do to earn a medal? And you think urinating on a dead man deserves one? I am sure all the troops who have earned a medal through bravery or injury would appreciate hearing that.

So a member of the military is deployed to another country and you do not understand that he is protecting this country? I am not surprised but wow.-ncouterbaks69

Being deployed to another country is one thing. Happening upon dead combatants and urinating on them is not defending anything but the words of jihadists who claim US troops do not belong in their countries.

They should give him a medal!

He won't be hired by Walmart!

"Urinating on a dead body is "justice"? You're right - I don't understand that."

No, I've seen that before. My dog likes to urinate on things. Perfectly normal.

All you pro-urinators say the guy is a soldier in a war zone, and should not be subject to non-military judgement, right? Well, his SUPERIOR OFFICERS enforce the rules about no desecrating corpses--maybe they know military justice better than y'all do. The officers in charge think this case needs to be heard.

What Sgt. Micturition did is disgusting and vile--but it's also against the RULES he agreed to obey, and he should have known it. Soldiers are SUPPOSED to obey the rules. So it doesn't matter whether YOU think he should be let off; it's up to his military superiors, who know the situation much much better than you Fuquay warhawks do.

And as a bunch of reasonable people have noted, peeing on corpses is NOT acceptable behavior from American soldiers. And it's NO way to establish peace, either. And for those of you who keep shouting "They blow up IEDs and kill our soldiers!" Well, they wouldn't be doing that if we hadn't decided to invade their country.

Please explain how a marine who finds a dead enemy soldier ( he didn't kill him, he died in an airstrike) and urinates on him is "defending" our country. would LOVE to hear your response, really.

So a member of the military is deployed to another country and you do not understand that he is protecting this country? I am not surprised but wow.

Which one of you posting here that believes it was okay to urinate on a dead body would think it okay if it happened to one of your relatives? As I thought, you'd be outraged.

I can not speak for all but I can tell you that my relatives do not do the same and worse to citizens of the US.
