This political cartoon was done by Randall Enos for the Cagle Post on January 13, 2012. This cartoon is showing a banner saying “Marine Corps announces new addition to combat uniform”, and an arrow pointing at a marine in uniform wearing a diaper.
The artist is using satire and ridicule to portray the disgusting event that happened this week where a marine urinated on a dead “enemies” body. This was not approved by the public in any way and many apologies have been made by the marines superiors in the corps. This artist also seems to share this sense of disgust that the public, and probably people around the world who heard this story, feel. He chose to send his message by almost making fun of the marine corps., saying there men are so poorly behaved and unable to control themselves, they should be forced to wear “diapers” so that this disgusting act will not happen again.
