hmm.... I have a bit to add from some personal experience...
In the 90's, I spent a summer in Bosnia and Croatia, working on a video documentary with a crew.... I was the only non-speaker-of-the local language... but I was there long enough and saw enough to see that a war can start out one way, end up quite different, and after you've been shot at a few times.... and shelled for night after night, your sense of decorum changes.... and you're constantly surprised you're still alive... and something like this seems pretty mild compared to other things.... mild, but somehow touching to people who've got no idea, maybe because it's LESS horriffic, but more symbolic, it seems to mean more to the media....

This is kinda old news, but maybe it needs repeating, again and again and again, ...

"Most Afghans Don’t Know About 9/11"
--------------
http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-5035…"An overwhelming number of Afghan men living in the region that is a major front in the U.S.-led war on the Taliban don't know anything about the terrorist attacks that brought international soldiers to Afghanistan, according to a report from an international policy think tank released Friday."
--------------
http://www.rferl.org/content/wha…"I don't know where I was during this attack because I was working as a laborer in Islamabad [Pakistan], but later I saw it on television," Jan Mohammed says. "It brought us nothing good. Everything is against us and we have lost a lot. The American and international forces came and as a result we lost a lot of relatives and friends in the war. Every day, tens of our people die, while the international forces have brought nothing good for us, including any work."

The government and the army want this publicized. They want to piss off the enemy and hope for aggressive retaliation so that they would have an excuse to stay longer.

"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"

I think marines pissing on corpses is indicative of the deeply intractible and morally compromised situation they are in, rather than being the problem in and of itself. Sure they shouldn't be doing it. Definitely there is no moral justification for doing it, but perhaps they are operating in a situation completely devoid of any moral parameters to judge ones actions by, and if that is the case, the responsibility for this travesty lies elsewhere. Higher up. In well appointed offices with deep comfortable office chairs and vast oak desks with the symbols of glory and power draped around the rooms.
You can't breed berserkers for mortal conflict, then ask them to conduct their business with diplomacy and respect.

to bring democracy?
to test drones?
to corner the market of opium?
to look for osama bin laden? (mission accomplished)
to secure ressources?
to waste the life of an entire generation?- serioulsy, stop trying to humanize war. no matter what camp you're from you do not desecrate a dead person..GeorgesII

Well let's put it this way, peeing on corpses doesn't help
