McClatchy reports that Afghans aren’t surprised by the video of U.S. Marines urinating on dead Afghans:
In Afghanistan, while no major protests were reported the day after the video surfaced online — purporting to show four Marines standing in a semicircle and urinating on dead Afghans — one resident said he wasn’t surprised.
“I know a lot of horrible things happen in the south and nobody but the locals know about it,” said Jamal Karimi, 32, referring to southern Afghanistan, where American forces have maintained a large troop presence.
“Such things happen all the time, and people talk about it but media hardly report them,” said Karimi, a shopkeeper from the southern city of Kandahar.
I said as much when this video first broke out. See here and here for my previous discussions on it.
