The US military is investigating a video showing what appears to be
troops urinating on the dead bodies of Taliban fighters in Afghanistan.
The footage of what seems to be US marines has been uploaded to several sites including videosharing site Youtube.
The film could be another blow for America after previous scandals like the abuses at Iraq's Abu Ghraib prison in 2004 and the recent conviction of 11 soldiers for running what became known as a 'kill squad', murdering unarmed Afghan civilians.

I read about this story from the Mother
Jones piece listed here. They mention the user "semperfilonevoice",
which is the same Youtube profile from which I downloaded the footage
and subsequently uploaded to my own profile (keeping same title). Needless to say, the footage is disturbing, disgusting, and will be a black eye to American foreign policy.
How many more reasons do we need to end the war in Afghanistan?
