"Panel seeks Marine’s ouster in scandal" AP October 18, 2013
QUANTICO, Va. — A US Marine Corps panel is recommending an officer be forcibly discharged for failing to supervise a group of snipers who posed for a video while urinating on the corpses of Taliban fighters in Afghanistan....
The video widely viewed on YouTube shows four Marines from Camp Lejeune, N.C., in full combat gear urinating on the bodies of three Afghans in July 2011. One Marine looks down at the bodies and says, ‘‘Have a good day, buddy.’’
It took place during a counterinsurgency operation in the Musa Qala district of Helmand province and drew outrage in the Middle East and international condemnation.
