Military punishes soldiers for Quran burning, Marines for urinating on Taliban corpses

 

Updated at 6:54 p.m. ET: WASHINGTON - The U.S. military on Monday dealt out punishment to six Army soldiers for burning Qurans at Bagram Air Base that ignited deadly protest in Afghanistan, and to three Marines for their roles in urinating on Taliban corpses.

The Army handed out administrative discipline to four officers and two non-commissioned officers for the Quran burning but found no ill intent on the part of the soldiers so none will face criminal charges.  

The administrative punishment, however, will likely result in the end of their military careers.

The investigation against one sailor was dropped when it was determined he was simply ordered to drive the truck with the material to the burn site at the base.

The burning of the Muslim holy books in February sparked weeks of protests that led to 30 Afghan deaths. U.S. officials said at the time the books were mistakenly sent along with garbage for disposal after detainees had written messages in them.

The investigation found up to 100 Qurans and other religious materials were burned in the incinerator at Bagram Air Field on Feb. 20. 

An Army report released on the incident Monday shed new light on what happened that day.

Report: 5 soldiers involved in Quran burning

Members of the Military Police and Theater Intelligence Team had discovered that Bagram detainees were using library books to pass notes and messages. One interpreter determined that 60 percent to 75 percent of the books contained extremist content. So, soldiers were ordered to remove the books as contraband. In all, about 2,000 books, including Qurans and other religious material, were set to be destroyed. 

An Afghan National Army soldier and and interpreter warned the troops not to dispose of the religious texts, but soldiers took some 100 books to the burn pit anyway.

A local man who worked at the burn pit discovered the Qurans and other texts were burning. He grabbed a front-end loader and doused the entire burn pit to extinguish the flames.

An angry crowd of Afghans gathered around the U.S. service members who drove the truck to the burn pit and were burning the material. The U.S. soldiers all fled.

"I absolutely reject any suggestion that those involved acted with any malicious intent to disrespect the Quran or defame the faith of Islam," an investigator wrote. "Ultimately, this was a tragic incident (that) resulted from a lack of cross-talk between leaders and commanders, a lack of senior involvement in giving clear guidance in a complex operation” and “distrust among our service members and our partners.”

More than ten years after the beginning of the war, Afghanistan faces external pressure to reform as well as ongoing internal conflicts.

In the other case, a statement from the Marine Corps said the three Marines received the punishment for "violations of the Uniform Code of Military Justice for their role in the desecration and filming of deceased Taliban that became public in January 2012."

As part of a plea deal, three Marines pleaded guilty and will receive a permanent mark on their records that will impact any future promotions and re-enlistments.

Six more Marines are still awaiting their punishments in the urination incident, which was recorded on video. It was announced, however, that two officers will be charged with creating a command climate that led to acts of bad behavior, the Marine Corps said. It was unclear what disciplinary action the four other non-commissioned officers will face.

The three Marines were all members of the Third Battalion, Second Marine Regiment or in units that were attached to the "3/2" during their deployment. Their names were not released.

One non-commissioned officer pleaded guilty to having violated a general order by wrongfully posing for an unofficial photograph with human casualties and urinating on the body of a deceased Taliban soldier, which conduct was prejudicial to good order and discipline.

Another non-commissioned officer pleaded guilty to wrongfully posing for an unofficial photograph with human casualties and wrongfully video recording the incident. 

A staff non-commissioned officer pleaded guilty to failing to report the mistreatment of human casualties by other Marines and making a false official statement to a Naval Criminal Investigative Service investigator about the his knowledge of the video.

The incident took place during a counter-insurgency operation near Sandala, Musa Qala District in Helmand Province, Afghanistan around July 27, 2011. 

According to The Wall Street Journal, officials in Afghanistan were bracing for public demonstrations over what might be viewed as lenient punishment of the troops.

If some of you actually saw what happened in a warzone, you would have a different opinion. Try watching a video of your best friend from childhood being beheaded, blood spilling from his neck has he tries to breathe. Then watching as the enemy spits on his corpse and sets him on fire and drags whats left of his body behind a car.

"God" has nothing to do with this war, or any war for that matter. "God" is a mad up icon that most people idolize, brought up with beliefs forced upon them to keep them in line. Religion is sets of rules defined by different cultures. Does anything really happen to killers, church folk who molest children, married people who cheat on their spouse, etc...? No, the only things that happen are things we has humans do to the guilty. There is no heaven and no hell, when you die, you die. The hoax we know as religion has caused more harm than good, look at all of these foreigners screaming "God is Greater" (Allahu Akbar) when they shoot someone, behead someone, blow up an IED killing someone, etc...

    Mules Brother, what a great name for a jackass like you. I am sure you have served in combat and know all about it. I would like to see the marines give you a golden shower and shove the Quran up your A*s or in your mouth, both the same.

      It's kind of funny, but I don't see anything wrong with either of the things they did. Anyone in or associated with the Taliban should be shot and pissed on as all they do is spread hate and murder anywhere they go. As for the book burnings, people still get upset over that? It's 2012 and it's an F'ing book, seriously. Religion is such a waste of time IMHO, all it has ever done is cause fighting, war, arguments.... very rarely anything good.

      I have no problem with what people believe in, I just don't personally care for it as there is no proof that there is an invisible man in the sky (who always needs money btw). Honestly, how stupid does that really sound? Honestly, but whatever.

      We just need to get out of the middle east and let them finish killing themselves off, it would happen faster if we just stayed out of it. Or hell, we can help them and just glass that part of the planet.

        Dare people to be different and believe differently than I; judge not lest you will be judged. Try putting the shoe on the other foot - suppose the Taliban burned the bible and urinated on American soldiers - I suspect that the American people would be equally outraged. If the American christians are really God fearing and God loving people than why are they the strongest advocators of hate against other people. The KJV of the bible teaches that we should go forth and love thy neighbor as thyself; if you cut these people with a knife will they not bleed red blood.

        I have wondered for years why do we American say that we are fighting for freedom in other countries, yet here in America we try to suppress the vote, change the constitution to take away the rights of women and all minorities, we don't love our brothers/sisters the way the bible teaches us. There are 60 million people without health care and we continue fighting a group of people who simply want to be left alone.

            its a war against an extremely cruel and brutal enemy. lets see, we urinate on dead bodies ( they hide behind women and children so i cant say soldiers) and they cut off heads with dull knives. whats worse . when dealing with animals you have to become an animal yourself. these people live to kill anyone who violates their ridiculous rules. we should leave the area and bomb them back to the stone age which is where they want to be.

            What a shame the government or the military punished these guys. I, for one, don't blame them.

            Too bad the world doesn't burn all the Korans.

            It just might be the most dangerous book to free men and women in the world.

            Can anyone see anything good coming from the Muslim world?

                      Give the soldiers a promotion! NBC - thanks for helping US to Lose in Afghan!

                      Note to the US Military -
                      Obama detests You!

                      The latest Liberal lame proposal is the
                      “Military Medal for Courageous Restraint”. It is a medal that service members
                      can earn for doing nothing. I should have a closet full of those medals!
                      Courageous restraint is where a soldier chooses not to use their weapon against
                      a terrorist with his AK-47 ablaze, to save the life of a civilian. In summary -
                      don’t fire until fired upon and terrorist get a free hit when civilians are
                      present. A good terrorist never goes into battle without civilians as a human
                      shield. These terrorist are cowards hiding behind woman and children. To a
                      certain extent, the military became an equal opportunity jobs program complete
                      with affirmative action, and political correctness. Progressives disgusted by
                      the thought of a righteous military took revenge upon the ranks. They pushed
                      feminism, homosexuality, and the unfit into the military. If their people could
                      not achieve the established physical, mental and moral standards, then the
                      standards must be lowered or eliminated. Progressives openly professed how
                      “they loathed the military”. This Progressive dogma tainted many Generals and
                      subordinates. Thank God that Afghanistan is the last major foreign military
                      adventure of the United States of America. Recent murderous riots of Taliban
                      supporters in Afghanistan demonstrate our only way to fight these devils is
                      with high altitude carpet bombing. Why waste a bomb that is smarter than the
                      enemy? Slowly but surely, the majority of Americans realize a Moslem is not
                      worth our treasure and blood. We are slow learners, but after ten long and
                      torturous years accomplishing nothing in Afghanistan, the American People see
                      the Moslems there for who they are.

                      Note - Please give the incompetent Wesley Clark another star! I forgot, thank
                      god he is retired.

                                Here we go again. As Americans we should be turning the other check to show how civilized and fair we are. With this display of arrogant misbehaving soldiers who did think what consequences could result should be charged and kicked out of the armed forces, they have tarnished the image of our proud serving soldiers. To show that you were urinating on the corpses is pathetic. You all need to realize these soldiers will need adjustments in their personal lives when they return. I just hope that any US soldier isn't captured or dead is mistreated as such. You just need to research how the Russians and Chechens were treating each other when captured.

                                    We have wasted the lives of our sons and daughters for these animals. When is Congress going to get some balls and say enough is enough! Bring our children home!

                                      The first wave of the economic
                                      tsunami (2007) that swamped the economy led to the Election of “The One,
                                      Barrack Hussein Obama”. This was set into motion with the infamous President
                                      Carter and the Housing Resolution Act of 1977. This Act in the name of social
                                      justice forced Banks and Mortgage Companies to give home loans without regard
                                      to the applicant’s employment status, income, sanity or credit history. The
                                      ability to repay a loan should never be a factor for the financially impotent
                                      who in turn support the Democrats. President Bill Clinton put this sub-prime
                                      loan scheme on steroids. The recession of 2008 was largely due to the prior
                                      scheme of the Democrats. “A Government sponsored home loan for everyone is a
                                      vote for me”. As all ideas from the Democrats, this venture was doomed to “crash
                                      and burn”. Bubba vetoed drilling in An war, made our best coal reserves in the
                                      west a national park and gave N Korea two nuclear power plants. Clinton had 3
                                      opportunities to capture Osama, but was occupied with a Lewinsky. Yemen had
                                      Osama in their possession and asked Bubba to take him, which he refused. This act of negligence sealed the fate of
                                      those killed on 9/11.
                                      George W. would never stoop so low as to blame
                                      his predecessor for all his problems as President. He inherited also a
                                      recession brought on by the collapse of the Dot Com Bubble.

                                        The book lies started some 2600+/- years ago in the middle east sand deserts by a bunch of goat herders.

                                        It is not any better than the Koran which is only 1400+/- years ago.

                                        WWJD?????????????????? How many would he slay with the jaw bone of an ass?????????????????

                                          You want to slay me????????????????????

                                          That is pretty radical.

                                          Did the desire to slay me come from your holy book?

                                          It seems as if it did. Great interpretations you use.

                                            No one, even the Muslim terrorist, wish to harm you. Your writings are better than their propaganda.

                                                Barack steals money
                                                from the American People to build/remodel mosques throughout the Moslem world.
                                                In return the Moslems persecute and murder Christians because there is no
                                                tolerance in Islam. Obama is forgiving Egyptian debt owed to America and giving
                                                them reparations. He has started an Islamic Stimulus Plan (Cordova) for the
                                                Moslem Brotherhood and all terrorist that will enable him to destroy the “Great
                                                and Little Satan.”

                                                What Muslims did not convert by the sword, they now will conquer by immigration
                                                and a high birth rate. Europe, Oh Europe, how gullible are you! You allowed the
                                                enemy freely into your mist. America, Oh America, how gullible are you! They
                                                will build their mosques, increase in population and one day destroy the
                                                country that showed them great kindness and tolerance. Allah says thanks for
                                                the welfare. His people live well in America and Europe.

                                                In Islam if the infidels are not converted you can:

                                                1. Kill them

                                                2. Enslave them

                                                3. Confiscate their wealth through exorbitant taxation. Obama has initiated
                                                this part first, the day after inauguration. This action was done under the
                                                pretext of “Social Justice”.

                                                4. Rape Christian Women and force them to convert to Islam. This atrocity is
                                                occurring in Pakistan and other countries dominated by Moslems. I wonder why
                                                President Obama (A Moslem) or Hillary Clinton (feminist) will not strongly
                                                protest this with the Government of Pakistan. The raping, other physical
                                                assaults, forced conversion and slavery of my sisters in Christ breaks my
                                                heart. But, I am powerless to defend my brothers and sisters who are being crushed
                                                by the Islamic devils. All I can do is offer a voice against your Islamic
                                                persecution.

                                                Obama gave Muslims in America waivers from Obamacare, but not detested
                                                religious groups like Catholics. Does
                                                he have a bias against Christians?

                                                Cartoon - During the
                                                crusades Saladin and his Muslim forces are attacking a Christian Crusader
                                                Castle. Barack in his former life is inside the castle. He opens the castle
                                                gates clearing the way for the Muslim hordes. A Christ Templar fighting for his
                                                life cries out his last words to Barack “I thought you were a Christian”

                                                  Young gullible Barack was a
                                                  favorite student in the eyes of the radical clerics. He completely absorbed
                                                  their Islamic filth like a sponge. They
                                                  saw he had great radical Muslim potential, and often would let young Obama lead
                                                  the chants” Death to America, Death to Israel”. The clerics knew that with
                                                  their help, the boy would go far and be critical in defeating the enemies of
                                                  Islam. The clerics now had an unholy instrument to destroy their enemies. With
                                                  Barry, they would tame the “American Dog”, and use American laws and kindness
                                                  to destroy them. We must always show tolerance till our end! One would never
                                                  wish to be called a bigot, intolerant or racist.

                                                  Some refer to Obama as a Manchurian Candidate, being a political figure planted
                                                  and supported by our enemies. I don’t know about Barry being a Manchurian
                                                  Candidate. To be more precise, he was an Indonesia Candidate. From this point
                                                  forward, the Indonesia Clerics sponsored and gave special Islamic training to
                                                  Barrack. He also received financial, immoral and other unholy support. It now
                                                  seems the clerics have an excellent return on their investment, a gift that
                                                  keeps on giving. Praise is to Allah!

                                                  The dreams of Barack, his
                                                  father and father’s father once carried to fruition became our socialist
                                                  progressive nightmare on Elm Street. This dream of Barack was most dangerous
                                                  during his waking hours. As President, he and his progressive minions worked
                                                  around the clock to implement his dastardly agenda. The country wished it could
                                                  awake from his four year nightmare, but it was too late! May God save Israel
                                                  and US. With Obama, the gifts from Allah keep on giving.

                                                  It appears that the seeds for the ultimate revenge against Israel and America
                                                  were firmly planted in the fertile dark Moslem soil of Indonesia. Obama lived
                                                  there from the impressionable ages from six to ten years of age. He attended a
                                                  Moslem school and became a regular fixture at a local radical mosque. Barry’s
                                                  favorite course and sermons were “How to Defeat the Infidels.” Listed below is
                                                  a copy of Obama’s notes from this time on how to destroy the “Great and Little Satins.”
                                                  He could only dream at this time that he would become the greatest Islamic
                                                  warrior in the history of Jihad.

                                                  Obama’s
                                                  Islamic School Notes on destroying America:

                                                  1. Force your enemy
                                                  into financial oblivion with major budget deficits

                                                  2. Create a multi generational group totally dependent on the Government.

                                                  This Group known as the “Takers” will blindly support your Progressive Agenda.

                                                  3. Encourage open borders between the US and Mexico. Accuse any one against
                                                  this as racist. A country without borders cannot survive.

                                                  4. Form a separate civilian defense force as large and well funded as the US
                                                  Military. This is needed for any successful coup. You cannot trust the military

                                                  5. At all cost, confiscate all weapons and ammo from the population. Leave them will no means to resist. They will
                                                  submit to your will. Create a crisis involving guns, and then

                                                  7. Deny the country its vast natural resources. It will go bankrupt and leave behind
                                                  vast riches for Islam.

                                                  8. Force the donors and supporters of your opposition to reveal themselves and
                                                  then blackmail, threaten and intimidate them into silence.

                                                  You have fell off the edge of sanity.

                                                  I guarantee you don't want a psychiatrist commenting or your very insane rants.

                                                  Watch out for the boys in the white coats and the nets.

                                                  Of course it is just cutting and pasting you are doing. I doubt if you posts re your original thoughts. Just parroting what you were told and from emails you have received from the RW noise machine. You sound more racist than Xtian in my opinion.

Makes you wonder why you should join to serve your country when a politically correct issue comes up, they punish instead of counseling the men. But at least we are PC, for those liberals, who never put a uniform on.

                                                      The problem here is trying to live up to the standards of a bunch or primitive Afghans, not a bunch of liberals. None of this has jack to do with American liberals who would very much like to have nothing to do with narrow-minded, dogmatic, hyper-conservative Afghanis at all. They are the reason these rules are in place. They are easily offended.

                                                        Young Barack was a
                                                        daily fixture at his local mosque in Indonesia.
                                                        Arriving early, he had his regular spot on the front row nearest to the
                                                        presiding cleric. This way he could hear clearly the daily vitriolic sermons
                                                        and never have to gaze upon the rear of another man. Also, since most
                                                        worshippers bathed once weekly, it was better to keep your distance. He leaned
                                                        forward towards the cleric as the words of Jihad filled the room. The cleric
                                                        was most animated and spoke with authority when he preached “Death to Israel,
                                                        Death to Americans” Barry often recorded the cleric’s words, playing them over
                                                        and over until the words were firmly engraved in his mind and heart. His prayer
                                                        rug being completely worn from wear had to be replaced monthly. Ms. Dunham
                                                        fumed at her son for wearing out the knees of his trousers. It became such a
                                                        problem that reinforced knee patches were required. The other Muslim children
                                                        often made fun of Barrack, calling him “patches”. But young Barrack was a
                                                        favorite student in the eyes of the radical clerics. They saw he had great
                                                        radical Muslim potential, and often would let young Obama lead the chants”
                                                        Death to America, Death to Israel”. The clerics knew that with their help, the
                                                        boy would go far and be critical in defeating the enemies of Islam. The clerics
                                                        now had an unholy instrument to destroy their enemies. With Barry, they would
                                                        tame the “American Dog” and use American laws and kindness to destroy them. We
                                                        must always show tolerance till our end! One would never wish to be called a

I've read both ends of thr combined volumes multiple times and they seem more contradictory on every reading. The next chapter almost always contradicts something in the previous chapter. King James was a nut case.
