Those troops fell short of the standards expected for combatants under the Law of Armed Conflict, under the US Military Code of Justice and under the laws of the US.
Whether or not the current enemy they are fighting or previous enemies they have fought against did similar or worse is of no consequence, they have standards to live up to. Those marines failed to live up to those standards and should be punished.

nothing i said was "wild" or fantastical.
I agree that the marines should have followed the codes of the marines, and i especially think they shouldn't have filmed themselves acting so unprofessionally. we arn't disagreeing about that.
