The Psychopathic Racial Personality

From [HERE] A US Marine has had his rank reduced and been fined $500 fine for urinating on corpses of Taliban fighters in Afghanistan after pleading guilty at a special court martial in Camp Lejeune, North Carolina.

Staff Sgt Joseph W. Chamblin pleaded guilty to charges of wrongful desecration, failure to properly supervise junior Marines and posing for photographs with battlefield casualties.

Footage of the incident, which occurred during a counter-insurgency operation in Afghanistan's Helmand Province in July 2011, quickly went viral after it was uploaded to the Internet in January this year, sparking world-wide outrage.  

The video shows four Marines in uniform laughing and joking while urinating on the bodies of three bearded men. One of the men says, "Have a nice day, buddy." A caption identifies them as members of Scout Sniper Team 4.

US Defense Secretary Leon Panetta called the Marines' behaviour "utterly deplorable" and promised an investigation, while Afghan President Hamid Karzai condemned the actions as "inhuman". US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton also promised that the Marines would be punished after expressing her "total dismay".

However, following an eight-month investigation, the Marine Corps decided on undisclosed administrative punishments for three of the Marines in August. All three had pleaded guilty to misconduct charges, including "wrongly video-recording" the incident, failing to report it, as well as posing next to the bodies.

Their records will also be permanently marked, preventing them from any future promotions or re-enlistments.

Criminal charges were only filed against Chamblin and one other, Staff Sgt. Edward W. Deptola, whose case is still pending. The charges include "being derelict in their duties by failing to properly supervise junior Marines, failing to require junior Marines to wear their personal protective equipment, failing to stop and report the misconduct of junior Marines, failing to report the negligent discharge of a grenade launcher, and failing to stop the indiscriminate firing of weapons."

Chamblin waived his right to a jury and pleaded guilty to the charges, for which he was sentenced to 30 days' imprisonment, a reduction in rank by three grades and a $2,000 fine. However, the initial sentence will be reduced by a marine general to a $500 fine and one grade reduction in rank, based on a plea agreement.
