This is total Bullshit!
Islamic rejects have cut of the heads of american prisoners when they have had the chance, these same type of islamic rejects that were pissed on have also been responsible for the deaths of thousands of innocent Muslim men and women, thrown acid in the face of young girls who just want to go to school(and held them down while the acid did its job of painfully eating their skin away!
Yeah Pissing on these pieces of shit probably was not a smart thing to film, doing it: I agree with, they deserve nothing less!
But just remember Daniel Pearl, I don't know how many of you have seen the Video of his beheading: it was life changing, the sounds of the poor man drowning in his own blood as his head was slowly sawed off will ever haunt me!
So yeah, Islamic fuckwads like the the Taliban and Al Qaida deserve nothing more from our men in Uniform, If it were me I would have pooped on them too!

Four US marines identified by the military as the soldiers filmed urinating on corpses in Afghanistan are likely to face a court martial after an American military commander said such actions are a "grave breach" of the laws of war.
The Naval Criminal Investigation Service (NCIS) has interviewed two of the soldiers featured in the video laughing and making snide remarks as they urinated on the bloodied bodies of three Afghan men, who have not been identified. It is not clear if the men were members of the Taliban.
In attempt to dampen the growing diplomatic storm around the abuse, the commanders of US forces in Afghanistan on Friday ordered American troops to treat the bodies of killed enemies and civilians with "appropriate dignity and respect".

Marines Recapture Ship From Pirates
Excellent , those Bad Ass U.S. Marines Doing what needs to be Done !
ABCNews
U.S. Marines today stormed a German-owned commercial vessel that had been captured by Somali pirates, in what appears to be the first U.S.-led military boarding off the coast of East Africa.
The MV Magellan Star was located in the Gulf of Aden, about 85 miles south of the Yemeni town of al Mukalla, when U.S. Marines from the 15th Marine Expeditionary Unit's Maritime Raiding Force boarded and seized control of the ship.
The U.S. Navy released few details but said in a statement that there were no casualties among the raiding party or the ship's crew. Nine alleged pirates were captured in the operation.

NEAR MARJAH, Afghanistan – Helicopter-borne U.S. Marines and Afghan troops swooped down on the Taliban-held town of Marjah before dawn on Saturday, launching a long-expected attack to re-establish government control and undermine support for the militants in their southern heartland.[...]
The first wave of choppers has landed inside Marjah. The operation has begun," said Capt. Joshua Winfrey, commander of Lima Company, 3rd Battalion, 6th Marines, which was at the forefront of the attack.
Several hundred U.S. Marines and some Afghan troops were in the first wave of troops, flying over minefields the militants are believed to have planted around the town, 360 miles (610 kilometers) southwest of Kabul.[...]
The helicopter assault was preceded by illumination flares which were fired over the town about 2 a.m. In the pitch darkness of a moonless night, the roar of helicopters could be heard overhead, flying in assault troops from multiple locations.
The white flash of Hellfire and Tow missiles could be seen exploding over the town as flares illuminated the darkness to help assault troops spot targets in the town.

Taliban, Marines Exchange Fire as Major Battle Looms
My bet is that some of the lower level Taliban are causing a distraction for the higher up's , so they can have a chance to find some Burqa's to escape in !
Foxnews
NEAR MARJAH, Afghanistan — U.S. Marines and Taliban insurgents exchanged gunfire Thursday on the outskirts of Marjah, a southern militant stronghold where American and Afghan forces are expected to launch a major attack in the coming days.
To the north, a U.S.-Afghan force led by the U.S. Army's 5th Stryker Brigade linked up with Marines on Thursday, closing off a Taliban escape route to the nearby major city of Lashkar Gah.
No casualties were reported in the scattered clashes, which broke out as Marines moved ever closer to the edge of the farming community of 80,000 people, the linchpin of Taliban influence in the opium poppy producing province of Helmand.
Marines said the Taliban defenders were apparently trying to draw the Americans into a bigger fight before the U.S. was ready to launch the main attack.
"They're trying to draw us in," said Capt. Joshua Winfrey, 30, of Tulsa, Okla., commander of Lima Company, 3rd Battalion, 6th Marines.
Through much of the day, insurgents repeatedly fired rockets and mortars at the American and Afghan units poised in foxholes around the town, 380 miles southwest of Kabul.
"I am not surprised at all that this is taking place," said the battalion commander, Lt. Col. Brian Christmas. "We are touching their trigger-line," referring to the outer rim of the Taliban defenses.

Fleeing Afghan villages warn of massing taliban
Afghan villagers fleeing Marjah ahead of the announced Moshtarak operation are warning the taliban are not fleeing but rather massing and digging in. NATO announced the major offensive in hopes that the taliban would flee rather than stay and fight.
Well at least a lot of taliban will day in the next few days.

LASHKAR GAH, Afghanistan -- Taliban militants are massing and preparing for a big fight ahead of a major NATO offensive in an insurgent stronghold in southern Afghanistan, villagers fleeing the area said on Sunday.[...]
According to some of the villagers escaping Marjah in fear of their lives, fighters are digging in rather than fleeing.
"The Taliban are not going to leave Marjah. We have seen them preparing themselves. They are bringing in people and weapons. We know there is going to be a big fight," said Abdul Manan, a man from Marjah who had fled to Helmand's capital, Lashkar Gah.
"The Taliban are very active in Marjah. They are planting mines there and in the surrounding areas," said another villager, Abdul Khaleq, after arriving in Lashkar Gah with his family.

Marines kicking taliban ass
From Yahoo! News
DAHANEH, Afghanistan – Helicopter-borne U.S. Marines backed by Harrier jets stormed a Taliban-held town in southern Afghanistan before dawn Wednesday, the launch of a new operation to uproot Taliban fighters from a longtime base and provide security for next week's presidential election.You think someone from the Afghan troops tipped off the taliban?
The troops exchanged heavy fire with insurgents, killing at least seven. Associated Press journalists traveling with the first wave said militants fired small arms, mortars and rocket-propelled grenades after helicopters dropped the troops over Taliban lines. Fighting lasted more than eight hours, as Harrier jets streaked overhead and dropped flares in a show of force.
The Taliban put up such fierce resistance that Marines said they suspected the militants knew the assault was coming.

Pakistan bitches about US offensive in Afghanistan
Every time the taliban get their asses handed to them, Pakistan always bitches about America's aggressive actions. New York Times
ISLAMABAD, Pakistan — Pakistan is objecting to expanded American combat operations in neighboring Afghanistan, creating new fissures in the alliance with Washington at a critical juncture when thousands of new American forces are arriving in the region.The taliban was, is and will be Pakistan's allies.
Pakistani officials have told the Obama administration that the Marines fighting the Taliban in southern Afghanistan will force militants across the border into Pakistan, with the potential to further inflame the troubled province of Baluchistan, according to Pakistani intelligence officials.[...]
The Pakistani account made clear that even as the United States recommits troops and other resources to take on a growing Taliban threat, Pakistani officials still consider India their top priority and the Taliban militants a problem that can be negotiated. In the long term, the Taliban in Afghanistan may even remain potential allies for Pakistan, as they were in the past, once the United States leaves.

Taliban threaten to kill captured Marine unless US Marines stop ops in two provinces
This was the US Marines' repsonse. Voice of America
A Taliban commander in southeastern Afghanistan said he will kill a captured U.S. soldier unless the U.S. military stops operations in two provinces.
Mawlavi Sangin said Thursday that the soldier is healthy but threatened to kill him if the U.S. military continues operations in Paktika and neighboring Ghazni province.
US Marines vow to hunt down those who kidnapped a Marine
"If you do not free the American soldier, then…you will be targeted"CBS News
At least two Afghan villages have been blanketed with leaflets warning that if an American soldier kidnapped by the Taliban two weeks ago isn't freed, "you will be targeted."[...]Pray for the Marine's well being and safety. I pray that our boys will rescue him soon.
Military spokeswoman Capt. Elizabeth Mathias confirmed that the leaflets were produced at Bagram Air Base, the primary U.S. installation in Afghanistan, and distributed in the region. She told CBS News correspondent Mandy Clark, however, that they were distributed by hand, not aircraft.
The papers show on one side an image of a soldier with his head bowed so that his face is not visible (above). A message in the local Pashtun language over the image says, "If you do not free the American soldier, then…"
On the other side, an image shows Western troops breaking into a house. The rest of the message is printed across the photo: "…you will be targeted".
According to the military, the translation of the last word in the sentence is "hunted," not targeted

Cross dressing taliban escape from Marines in burqas
These taliban pussies weren't willing to die for the 72 virgins. Instead they emulated their cross dressing islamic prophet muhammed and escaped wearing burqas. Yahoo! News
H/T: Rusty
CAMP LEATHERNECK, Afghanistan – U.S. Marines trapped Taliban fighters in a residential compound and persuaded the insurgents to allow women and children to leave. The troops then moved in — only to discover that the militants had slipped out, dressed in women's burqa robes.[...]Note to Gen. Stanley McChrystal: you don't have to kill civilians to check if the taliban are hiding under the burqas of their women. It would be enough to screw the gender rule and allow the Marines to carry out their job.
On Monday, images from a Predator drone showed a dozen fighters and at least 15 to 20 civilians inside a mud-brick compound in the village of Khan Neshin, about 60 miles north of the Pakistani border.
Because of the civilians, the U.S. troops held their fire, and instead used a military translator and village elder to persuade the militants to free women and children.
Two groups — children and what appeared to be women in burqas — left the compound. When the Marines entered, they found no one. The fighters had clearly donned burqas and slipped away among the civilians, according to Marines who took part in the mission.
The Americans didn't have female Marines with them to search the robed figures and make sure no men were among them in disguise. And the new U.S. and NATO commander, Gen. Stanley McChrystal, has said he would rather see militants escape than for civilians to be harmed in battle; a declassified version of his new guidelines for troops were released Monday.

U.S. Marines launch assault in Afghan valley
Heads up Taliban , you might see the U.S Marines looking Down at you ! Maybe this will be the start of the big push to eradicate the Taliban ! Good luck Marines !
....
LOWER HELMAND RIVER VALLEY, AFGHANISTAN (Reuters) - U.S. Marines launched a helicopter assault early on Thursday in the lower Helmand river valley in southern Afghanistan, spokesman Capt. Bill Pelletier said.
A Reuters correspondent in the valley saw flares in the sky over the town of Nawa, south of the provincial capital Lashkar Gah.
Nearly 4,000 Marines and U.S. sailors are taking part in the assault, code-named Operation Khanjar (Strike of the Sword), along with about 650 Afghan troops and police, a Marines press statement said.
"What makes Operation Khanjar different from those that have occurred before is the massive size of the force introduced, the speed at which it will insert and the fact that where we go we will stay, and where we stay, we will hold ..." it quoted Brigadier General Larry Nicholson, commanding officer of the Marine Expeditionary Brigade-Afghanistan, as saying.

Top U.S. Marine defends $13 billion amphibious tank
"And, by the way, China has already fielded a similar vehicle and is building more," he said.
Hat's off to General James Conway Of the Kick ass U.S. Marines ! A very nice Punch in the Nose to Robert gates U.S. Defense Secretary , Now whether Mr Gates realizes' it or not General Conway Makes a very strong point with his statement " When your Enemies Or Non Allies such As China , Are expanding their Military Beyond any other Military in the world , You better be ready for anything ! ) I am sure I am not alone in my thinking that China is up to something ! sooner or later they are going to have to Justify their Military spending ! Maybe not directly Attacking the U.S. but no matter who they attack we will be forced to Help defend them ! And WE better be ready !
....
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. Marines must be able to storm enemy shores in amphibious vehicles such as those being built by General Dynamics Corp, the top Marine said, defending a $13.2 billion program called into question by Defense Secretary Robert Gates.
General Dynamics' Expeditionary Fighting Vehicle, or EFV, "is inextricably linked to that capability and an absolutely critical requirement for us," General James Conway, the Marine Corps commandant, told reporters at a Pentagon briefing on Wednesday.
"And, by the way, China has already fielded a similar vehicle and is building more," he said.
As conceived by the Marine Corps, the EFV is to be able to transport up to 18 combat-ready Marines at high speeds on both land and sea. It would have advanced communications capabilities, provide increased armored protection against rocket-propelled grenades and improvised explosive devices, and deliver lethal firepower up to 2,000 meters (2,200 yards).
But Gates, in an April 17 speech to the Naval War College in Newport, Rhode Island, said he had directed Pentagon planners to take a "realistic" view of the need for landing large numbers of troops "so we can better gauge our requirements."

30 Marines battle 250 taliban and live to tell about it...50 taliban don't live to tell about it
I've had no time to read, listen to any news this past week because of school so this story might not be new to most of you but still worth to post.
In an epic battle 30 marines battle 250 terrorists, killing 50 bad guys, and forcing the enemy into a humiliating retreat. (Thanks to GM)
OOH-RAH!Live LeakFARAH PROVINCE, Afghanistan — In the city of Shewan, approximately 250 insurgents ambushed 30 Marines and paid a heavy price for it.
....
Shewan has historically been a safe haven for insurgents, who used to plan and stage attacks against Coalition Forces in the Bala Baluk district.
The city is home to several major insurgent leaders. Reports indicate that more than 250 full time fighters r More..eside in the city and in the surrounding villages.Shewan had been a thorn in the side of Task Force 2d Battalion, 7th Marine Regiment, Special Purpose Marine Air Ground Task Force Afghanistan throughout the Marines’ deployment here in support of Operation Enduring Freedom, because it controls an important supply route into the Bala Baluk district. Opening the route was key to continuing combat operations in the area.
“The day started out with a 10-kilometer patrol with elements mounted and dismounted, so by the time we got to Shewan, we were pretty beat,” said a designated marksman who requested to remain unidentified. “Our vehicles came under a barrage of enemy RPGs (rocket propelled grenades) and machine gun fire. One of our ‘humvees’ was disabled from RPG fire, and the Marines inside dismounted and laid down suppression fire so they could evacuate a Marine who was knocked unconscious from the blast.”
The vicious attack that left the humvee destroyed and several of the Marines pinned down in the kill zone sparked an intense eight-hour battle as the platoon desperately fought to recover their comrades. After recovering the Marines trapped in the kill zone, another platoon sergeant personally led numerous attacks on enemy fortified positions while the platoon fought house to house and trench to trench in order to clear through the enemy ambush site.
“The biggest thing to take from that day is what Marines can accomplish when they’re given the opportunity to fight,” the sniper said. “A small group of Marines met a numerically superior force and embarrassed them in their own backyard. The insurgents told the townspeople that they were stronger than the Americans, and that day we showed them they were wrong.”
During the battle, the designated marksman single handedly thwarted a company-sized enemy RPG and machinegun ambush by reportedly killing 20 enemy fighters with his devastatingly accurate precision fire. He selflessly exposed himself time and again to intense enemy fire during a critical point in the eight-hour battle for Shewan in order to kill any enemy combatants who attempted to engage or maneuver on the Marines in the kill zone. What made his actions even more impressive was the fact that he didn’t miss any shots, despite the enemies’ rounds impacting within a foot of his fighting position.
“I was in my own little world,” the young corporal said. “I wasn’t even aware of a lot of the rounds impacting near my position, because I was concentrating so hard on making sure my rounds were on target.”
After calling for close-air support, the small group of Marines pushed forward and broke the enemies’ spirit as many of them dropped their weapons and fled the battlefield. At the end of the battle, the Marines had reduced an enemy stronghold, killed more than 50 insurgents and wounded several more.
“I didn’t realize how many bad guys there were until we had broken through the enemies’ lines and forced them to retreat. It was roughly 250 insurgents against 30 of us,” the corporal said. “It was a good day for the Marine Corps. We killed a lot of bad guys, and none of our guys were seriously injured.”

Afghan police helped taliban attack US soldiers
Back in July, the taliban had launched a large and well coordinated attack on an American outpost in eastern Afghanistan that resulted in 9 American deaths. It turns out that the taliban had help from senior a Afghan police officer and a Afghan politician.
There should be a vetting process to determine what ideologies Afghan police members, army members and politicians have. If they did check I would be afraid to ask how many buy into the taliban's ideology. Press Trust of IndiaNew York, Nov 4 (PTI) An internal review by the US army has found that a senior Afghan police officer and a political leader helped Taliban militants carry out an attack in which nine American soldiers were killed in Afghanistan, a media report said today.
Afghan and the US forces had started building the makeshift base just five days before the attack on July 13, and villagers repeatedly warned the American troops that militants were plotting a strike, the report found.
The warnings did not include details and the troops never anticipated such a large and well-coordinated attack, the New York Times reported.
The assault involved some 200 fighters, nearly three times the number of Americans and Afghans defending the site.
As evidence of collusion between the district police chief and the Taliban, the Times says, the report cited large stocks of weapons and ammunition that were found in the police barracks in the adjacent village of Wanat after the attackers were repelled.
The stocks were more than the local 20-officer force would be likely to need, and many of the weapons were dirty and appeared to have been used recently. The police officers were found dressed in "crisp, clean new uniforms," the report said, and were acting "as if nothing out of the ordinary had occurred," the Times added.

US & Afghan Forces Kill 25 Taliban
Eight civilians were also killed when the taliban ran into a compound and held 11 civilians hostage including childern. Reuters
....
The Taliban launched multiple ambushes on a patrol in the Khas Uruzgan district of Uruzgan province on Sunday, the U.S. military said in a statement.
The militants "then fled into a neighbouring compound where they held 11 non-combatants hostage, including several children and an infant," it said.
The insurgents then fired on the coalition forces from the compound and the troops called in an airstrike, but the statement said they did not know there were civilians in the building."The Taliban uses innocent civilians' homes, taking them by force to attack Afghan and coalition forces," the U.S. military quoted Uruzgan Police Chief Juma Gul as saying.
"If civilians get killed during these attacks, the responsibility falls on the Taliban and their terrorist sponsors," he said.
