Video shows Marine desecration of corpses

0

A video surfaced Wednesday appearing to depict four men in Marine combat gear urinating on the dead bodies of three men in front of them. NATO-led forces denounced the actions in the video, saying they appear to be the work of “a small group of U.S. individuals” no longer believed to be in Afghanistan. The Marine Corps is still working to verify the authenticity of the video. The International Security Assistance Force in Afghanistan condemned the video.

“This disrespectful act is inexplicable and not in keeping with the high moral standards we expect of coalition forces,” the ISAF said. Marine Corps Media Officer Kendra Hardesty 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.” Afghan President Hamid Karzai called for those depicted in the video to be punished for their actions.
