00:08.140 --> 00:10.307
I'm making this statement on behalf of

00:10.307 --> 00:12.960
calm . IsAF General Allen as he is out

00:12.960 --> 00:15.610
of the country . I can assure you that ,

00:15.610 --> 00:17.777
were he here ? He would be speaking to

00:17.777 --> 00:21.740
you in person . A video recently posted

00:21.750 --> 00:24.980
on a public website appears to show us

00:24.980 --> 00:27.030
military personnel committing a

00:27.030 --> 00:29.830
disgusting act with insurgent corpses .

00:31.040 --> 00:34.180
Any acts which treat the dead enemy or

00:34.180 --> 00:37.660
friendly with disrespect are utterly

00:37.670 --> 00:40.470
unacceptable and do not represent the

00:40.470 --> 00:42.803
standards we expect of coalition forces .

00:44.630 --> 00:47.610
IsAF strongly condemns any actions

00:47.610 --> 00:49.777
which treat the dead disrespectfully .

00:50.240 --> 00:52.184
These actions do not represent the

00:52.184 --> 00:53.907
values of the vast majority of

00:53.907 --> 00:55.840
coalition forces who serve their

00:55.840 --> 00:58.730
nation's honorably . Such behavior

00:58.730 --> 01:00.940
betrays the core values of every

01:00.940 --> 01:03.550
service member here representing 50

01:03.550 --> 01:06.840
nations of this coalition . A United

01:06.840 --> 01:09.007
States Criminal investigation has been

01:09.007 --> 01:11.520
launched into this disgraceful act . It

01:11.520 --> 01:13.850
will be thorough and any individual

01:13.850 --> 01:16.140
whose involvement is confirmed will be

01:16.140 --> 01:18.360
held fully accountable and punished

01:18.360 --> 01:22.050
accordingly . Thank you . Mhm .
