Bodies are empty shells. Furthermore, the people who they used to be were terrible people representing a murderous ideology. I think that the Marines should be operating at a higher standard but I'm not at all worried about what happened to the Taliban corpses, any more than I would care if they were thrown into a pit and wild animals came in and chewed off their faces.
Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

Am I the only one who doesn't care if the Marines piss on the corpses of Taliban?

Actually, IIRC, we were told the Afghanistan war was important because of the Talibans threat to us.
