All are reportedly part of a sniper team based in North Carolina.
The four belong to 3rd Battalion, 2nd Marines, which returned to the U.S.A. last fall after a tour in Afghanistan. Of the 1,000-person battalion, seven were killed in action.
So far, the names of the men have not been released.
Marines Urinating on Dead Bodies
CBS News reports that the Marines urinating in the video had been showing off the video as a "war trophy" at their home base in Camp Lejeune in N.C.
At least two of the Marines have been interviewed by USMC officials, but are not being detained as of right now. It is unclear what disciplinary action they may face.
A rep for the White House said this morning that President Barack Obama is aware of the video, but would not say if he has actually seen it yet.
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, among many, many others in the past 24 hours, has condemned the video, calling the action "deplorable behavior."
