Damn straight! Instead of pissin' all over the corpse in desecration, they ought to have desecrated them by cutting their heads off and mounting them on a bridge post, like the REAL men in the Taliban do!
Isn't desecration desecration? Sounds like the pot calling the kettle black to me.

Unless they are hired by a private security contractor, Halliburton, TSA etc.!
They'll be fine. They will work for scum like them. They seem to find each other.
Who started it?
Did we attack a proven enemy, or did we attack countries likely to be harboring terrorists?
All you gray haired "Retired [insert military section here]" on the back window of your F150, did you do this sort of thing?
No. You didn't. Because you had integrity.
If OBL did order 9/11 he killed 3000 US citizens by making a decision;
how many civilians have died in other countries since Shrub 43 made a 'decision'?
Which one is the terrorist?
Whose decision killed the most civilians?
Or doesn't it matter because they were harboring terrorists?
We talk of how bad it was that the SS killed so many villagers because of 'partisan' activity.
We talk about how the tide of WWII turned because the Germans started bombing civilians.
"How many videos have we seen of Americans being [decapitated, treated badly etc.]?"
Not that many, really. None would be better, but there aren't that many.
How many videos are there of Abu Grahib and Gitmo? None.
Just because it's not on video doesn't mean it doesn't happen.
No clean hands around here.
The US invaded Afghanistan because all the Al Quacky leaders were caught in Pakistan! Really?
How many Al Quacky 'insurgents' were walking the streets of Iraq prior to the US invasion? None.

So you think that we should behead them & stick there heads on poles? if your all up for doing that why are you complaining that its happening to yours? Isn't desecration desecration? Sounds like the pot calling the kettle black to me.

I don't concern myself with "right" and "wrong". that's all subjective. As far as I'm concerned, it's wrong for anyone....
your second sentance contradicts your first.
And im going to bring your sanity into question now, you have watched 23 beheading videos? why would you do that? no wonder your heads so messed up with ill thought ideas.

Insulting people that protect others is offensive, insensitive and boorish.

I'm insulting these guys who showed themselves to be scum, and not all those who fight.
I made a point that many have fought but never stooped so low. War is hell, but there are still decent humans in uniform. To them I give my support.
The wars were based on monetary gain for a few, not the freedom of many.
You have more 'freedoms' today?

I also have a question for you.
What do you think the US Military should do about these types of incidents? Rant and rave about it for weeks, shoot everyone involved, shut down the military? What is it you and the rest of the outraged minorities think you will achieve by your rants?
