Murtha ... the BENEDICT ARNOLD of the 21st Century!!
Murtha has to be the only former Marine extant. I can't believe the Marine Corps extends him the curtesy of lifetime membership.
He is a living example, though, that recruiters do make mistakes.
I’ll be praying Sharratt’s and the other marine’s lawsuits are successful. Murtha needs to be publicly humiliated for his efforts to ruin these brave heroes.
As a Pennsylvania veteran I hope thes Marines take that dirtbag bottom feeder Murtha fow everything he has. The Government should have charged him with treason as far as I am concerned and his sorry ass should be the one rotting in jail.
Now ask me how I really feel........
I understand Sharratt's hesitation to answer this, but I wish he had been the one to initiate the comment that there were no "murders that day" and that he'd gone on to say, "except for our team member who was murdered by insurgents hiding in those houses" or something to that effect.
Maybe you're nodding to what I just said...but...
My comments give some idea how easy it is to second-guess someone else's actions.
Sharratt did very well in this interview.
KELLY: And thank you for your service.
Since term limits are deemed unconstitutional, how about we have a system that is constitutional. Congress does funding bills and authorizes their own pay. Let’s have a law that does not pay any congressperson after their 12th year in office, and that begins a 25% reduction in any pension for each additional year beyond 12 in which they serve.
Agreed, Justin did well. He’s fairly taciturn under normal circumstances. And I bet he’s been advised to say nothing about the incident at all. He’s out of the Corps, but could be subpeoned or recalled—even out of spite. There’s a fair amount of that going around.
“John Murtha, a former Marine himself”
With emphasis on FORMER.
Murtha was a Marine like John Kerry was a Sailor.
Megyn Kelly always comes across as a very decent person. I hope she does one of her report dealios on O’Reilly on this case. The man who “watches out for you” has done a pretty poor job in watching out for the Marines so far.
Mental eval —
Don’t you have to have a mind in the first place to qualify for a mental eval?
:>)
zins,
Justin as been asked to not comment on the events of Haditha. Your thoughts about stating “there were no murders” and bring attention to the Defend Our Marines website are noted. I’m sure Justin will use them in any upcoming interviews. Noah Geary has allowed Justin to be himself, no scripts, just Justin——but the points you make should be used in future interviews. Thank you for supporting my son and all our military.
God Bless Our Haditha Marines
The Sharratt family
Thank you all for the fight that you are engaged in. Take the fight to the enemy!
Lilycicero gets credit for the “go to defendourmarines.org” idea.
As I said, it’s easy to see things later that could have been said. It’s a lot harder to do when it’s live on TV.
I’m honored even to speak with you all. Thanks for your service, Justin!
Pro Deo et Patria
Hope all y’all have a splendid event! Darryl’s gonna be happy about that promo when he sees the bill!
I wish more news agencies would run this story. But we know better than that now don’t we.
Justin did a fine job in this interview, a real standup effort on his part. Also, I’ve got to hand it to Megyn Kelly. She was knowledgeable and accurate in the facts she presented, showing a grasp for the subject. She also thanked Justin for his service at the end, even though she didn’t have too. I thought that showed alot of class on her part.
