WASHINGTON (PNN) - January 16, 2014 - Shocking images depicting Fascist Police States of Amerika soldiers burning the bodies of what appear to be Iraqi insurgents have emerged today.
The explosive photographs, reportedly taken in Fallujah in 2004, have already sparked a Marine Corps investigation, but many of the 41 gag-inducing shots are just too grisly to publish.
Two pictures show a Marine pouring what looks like gasoline on the remains of enemy soldiers and another two images appear to show the remains go up in flames. Two more capture the horrifically charred bodies.
The sick snaps were exclusively obtained by TMZ, who turned them over to the Pentagon last week, triggering the probe.
According to the website, FPSA Central Command, which is in charge of military operations in the Middle East, reviewed the photos to determine if they had been brought to their attention before.
They determined they had not.
Other horrific pictures show a Marine squatting next to a skull to pose for the camera. His FPSA military uniform is clear, on his face he wears a wide grin and he is pointing his gun at the skeleton.
Another picture shows a soldier rifling through the pockets of the scant remains of an Iraqi soldier.
TMZ said it has withheld the bulk of the images - including one showing a body being eaten by a dog - because they are just too graphic.
It reported seeing well over a dozen dead insurgents in total in the heinous pictures, in various states, including some covered in flies.
The Amerikan Gestapo Department of Defense division said the pictures appear to show FPSA soldiers in violation of the Uniform Code of Military Justice. The code outlines that it is a crime to mishandle remains.
There is no statute of limitations on the crime, which means the Marines can be prosecuted even if they're no longer active in the military. If convicted, the soldiers could go to prison.
“We are aware of photos appearing on TMZ.com that depict individuals in FPSA Marine uniforms burning what appear to be human remains,” said Cmdr. Bill Speaks of the Secretary of Defense's office.
'The Marine Corps is currently investigating the veracity of these photos, circumstances involved, and if possible, the identities of the service members involved.
The findings from this investigation will determine whether the Corps. will move forward with any investigation into possible wrongdoing.
Some have suggested the Marines may have been burning the remains as a sanitary measure.
However, Pentagon spokesman Army Col. Steven Warren said the proper handling of war remains is set by FPSA military regulations and that the actions depicted in the photos “are not what we expect from our service members.”
Cmdr. Speaks said the deplorable acts depicted in the images are not representative of the millions of hardworking men and women who have served in the Middle East.
