I'm Confused: It's Okay to Kill Afghanis, But Not Okay to Urinate on the Bodies?

4. One view..

Here's the deffinition:

Desecration (also called desacralization or desanctification) is the act of depriving something of its sacred character, or the disrespectful or contemptuous treatment of that which is held to be sacred or holy by a group or individual.

What I get from this is - while a soldier is alive they are considered "combatants / enemies" and can be shot, killed,
blown up, etc.

Once the soldier is killed, then, the body becomes sacred and
any further tampering with the corpse would be considered
"depriving something of its sacred character".

I always thought that burying each insurgent with a bit of Oscar Mayer would make them think twice about whether they would actually make it to nirvana and stop them from volunteering for
suicide missions.

I guess that's too simple a solution because it would be considered
desicrating the body. Oh well, keep on thinking...
